Be generous with your gifts. Think carefully about what you give as presents.

This hadith narrates a conversation between Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri and Prophet Muhammad. In this conversation, Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri mentions that during the time of Prophet Muhammad, people used to give gifts such as dates, barley, raisins, flour or cottage cheese and rye. These items were usually given in a measure called 'Sa'. This hadith teaches us to be generous with our gifts and to think carefully about what we give as presents. It also shows us how people used to live in those times and what kind of things they valued.
