Sunan an-Nasai 3708 (Book 33, Hadith 3) #18322
The Prohibition of Ruqba in Gifts

SUMMARY: Giving gifts should not be done on the basis of Ruqba, as it is part of one's estate.

Zakariyya bin Yahya informed us, he said: "Abdul-Jabbar bin Al-'Ala' narrated to us, he said: 'Sufyan narrated to us from Ibn Abi Najih, from Tawus, and perhaps it is from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: There is no Ruqba, and whoever gives a gift on the basis of Ruqba, it is part of his estate'."
أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، لَعَلَّهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ لاَ رُقْبَى فَمَنْ أُرْقِبَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ سَبِيلُ الْمِيرَاثِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Give generously without expecting anything in return
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that giving gifts on the basis of Ruqba is prohibited. Ruqba is a term used to describe a situation where someone gives something to another person with the expectation that they will return something in exchange for it. This hadith teaches us that if someone gives a gift on this basis then it becomes part of their estate and cannot be taken back or exchanged for anything else. It also teaches us that we should not give gifts expecting something in return as this goes against Islamic teachings and values.
