Hadith.4081 - It is narrated from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said
I asked Imam (as) about a poor man who gives me a gift, hoping to receive something from me in return. Is it permissible for me to accept it without giving him anything?
Imam (as) said: "Yes, it is permissible for you, and it is lawful for you. However, do not neglect giving him something."
4081 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ اَلْفَقِيرُ يُهْدِي إِلَيَّ اَلْهَدِيَّةَ يَتَعَرَّضُ لِمَا عِنْدِي فَآخُذُهَا وَ لاَ أُعْطِيهِ شَيْئاً أَ يَحِلُّ لِي قَالَ "نَعَمْ هِيَ لَكَ حَلاَلٌ وَ لَكِنْ لاَ تَدَعْ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ".
