الرَّجُلِ يُهْدِي بِالْهَدِيَّةِ إِلَى ذِي قَرَابَتِهِ يُرِيدُ الثَّوَابَ وَ هُوَ سُلْطَانٌ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لِصِلَةِ الرَّحِمِ فَهُوَ جَائِزٌ وَ لَهُ أَنْ يَقْبِضَهَا إِذَا كَانَ لِلثَّوَابِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ismail Bin Mihran, from Abu Jareer Al Qummy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> regarding the man who gifts with the gift to his near relatives intending the Rewards, and he is a Sultan (ruling authority). So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whatever was for the Sake of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic and for maintenance of good relationships, so it is allowed, and for him is that he takes it when it was for the Rewards’.
