Sunan an-Nasai 3709 (Book 33, Hadith 4) #18323
The Prohibition of Giving Away Property on the Basis of Ruqba

SUMMARY: Giving away property on the basis of Ruqba is not allowed.

Zaid narrated from Abu Az-Zubair, from Tawus, from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah said: "Do not give away your property on the basis of Ruqba, for whoever gives a gift on that basis, it belongs to the one to whom he gave it".
أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تُرْقِبُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ فَمَنْ أَرْقَبَ شَيْئًا فَهُوَ لِمَنْ أُرْقِبَهُ

Give out your possessions with an open heart and without expecting anything in return .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is prohibited to give away one's property on the basis of ruqba. Ruqba refers to a situation in which a person gives something as a gift to another person with the expectation that they will return something else in exchange for it at some point in time. This type of transaction is not allowed according to this hadith because whatever was given as a gift belongs solely to the recipient and cannot be taken back or exchanged for anything else. This hadith also emphasizes that gifts should be given out of kindness and generosity without any expectations or conditions attached.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us through this hadith that we should always give out our possessions with an open heart and without expecting anything in return, as this will bring about more blessings into our lives than if we were to expect something back from those whom we have gifted our possessions too. We should also remember that whatever we give away belongs solely to its recipient and cannot be taken back or exchanged for anything else at any point in time, regardless of what was initially agreed upon between both parties involved in the transaction.
