The
treasures of Kisrā (a Persian ruler at the time of Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) were presented to Amīr-ul-Mu`minīn Sayyidunā
‘Umar Fārūq-e-A’ẓam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ. He رَضِىَ
اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ started weeping, Sayyidunā
‘Abdur Raḥmān Bin ‘Awf
رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said, ‘O Amīr-ul-Mu`minīn
(رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ)! What made you weep? It is the day to be indebted to
Allah عَـزَّوَجَـلَّ, today is the day of bliss, happiness
and delight.’ Sayyidunā ‘Umar Fārūq-e-A’ẓam رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ
تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُ said, ‘مَا كَثُرَ هٰذَا عَنۡدَ قَوۡمٍ اِلَّآ اَلۡقَي
اللّٰهُ بَيۡنَهُمُ الۡعَدَاوَةَ وَالۡبَغۡضَاءَ’,
i.e., Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ inflicts malice and hatred on the nation who accumulate this
wealth in abundance. (Al-Muṣannaf li Ibn Abī Shaybaĥ,
vol. 8, pp. 147, Ḥadīš 5)
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

There
is a great excellence of saying Salām and shaking hands with a Muslim which removes malice towards each other
and exchanging gifts increases love and removes hatred; the Prophet of
Raḥmaĥ, the Intercessor of the Ummaĥ, the Owner of Jannaĥ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘تَصَافَحُوۡا يَذۡهَبِ الۡغِلُّ وَتَهَادَوۡا
تَحَا بُّوۡا وَتَذۡهَبِ
الشَّحۡنَاءُ’ Greet with a handshake,
malice will end and exchange gifts love will increase and hatred will end. (Muwaṭṭā
Imām Mālik, Kitāb Ḥusn Al-Khalq, vol. 2, pp. 407, Ḥadīš 1731)
In the light of the said Ḥadīš, a renowned commentator of the Glorious Quran, Ḥakīm-ul-Ummat Shaykh Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الْـمَـنَّان has stated, ‘Both of these acts are proven; no hostility is provoked with whom you keep shaking hands with. If it happens purely by chance, it cannot stay due to the blessings of shaking hands. Similarly, the mutual exchange of presents ends enmities.’
(Mirāt-ul-Manājīḥ, vol. 6, pp. 368)
