Remembrance 1 from Chapter 281

WE RELATE FROM the book of Ibn as-Sunnī that ‘Ā’ishah said, “I gave the Messenger of Allah a sheep as a gift. He said ‘Distribute [its meat].’” When the servant returned, ‘Ā’ishah asked, “What did they say?” The servant replied, “They said ‘May Allah bless you.’” So ‘Ā’ishah said “May Allah bless them. We reply to them with the like of what they said, so that our reward may remain with us.” ^[1].
