Question
Has this been mentioned in a Hadith?
“Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) used to accept gifts and would give something in return”
Answer
Yes. Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this as the statement of Sayyidah ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha). The narration is therefore authentic.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2585)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
