38. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ya’qoub bin Yazid, from Muhammed bin Abi ‘Umayr, from Abu’l-MIghra, from Abu Baseer, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he said: A gift is permissible, regardless if it is taken or not taken, divided or not divided. People, however, only wanted grants, and so, they were mistaken. A grant is not permissible until it is taken.
