Question

Could you provide a reference for this narration?

ترك المكافأة من التطفيف

 

Answer

Imams Abu Bakr ibn Abid Dunya, Hakim Tirmidhi and Abu Nu’aym (rahimahumullah) have recorded this narration as the statement of the Tabi’i, Wahb ibn Munabbih (rahimahullah).

Wahb ibn Munabbih (rahimahullah) said: “Failing to reciprocate [gifts] is regarded to be a form of miserliness.”

(Makarimul Akhlaq: 365, Nawadirul Usul: 754, Hilyatul Awliya, vol. 4, pg. 58)

Reciprocating gifts is part of the Sunnah. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would accept gifts and would give something in return (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 2585). See here and here.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
