He,(PBUH) would accept gifts from women Companions

“The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, entered into a mar- riage contract and he went in to his wife. My mother Umm Sulaym said to me: ‘We should send the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, a gift’. I agreed and said: ‘Yes, we should.” She prepared Hais (which is a mixture of dates, clarified butter and dry yo- gurt) and placed it in a ceramic vessel and asked me to take it to the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. She told me to say: ‘My mother has sent this to you and she offers greetings to you, and says that it is a humble gift for you on our behalf, O Messenger of Allah’’. So I went with it to the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and said: ‘My mother offers you salutations, and says that it is a humble gift for you on our behalf.’ He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Place it here”, and then said: “Go and invite on my behalf so and so and anyone whom you meet”, and he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, even named some persons. Anas said: ‘I invited the people he named and whomever I met.’ One of the narrators said: ‘I asked Anas: How many (persons) were there?’ He (Anas) said: ‘There were about three hundred persons.’ Anas continued: ‘When I returned I found that the house was full of people. Then the Mes- senger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to me: “O Anas, bring that earthen vessel.” I saw the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, placing his hand in the container and he said whatever Allah willed him to say, and then he, sallal- laahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, started calling people in groups of ten, and said: “Make a circle of ten [guests], and every person should eat from what is nearest to him.” They began to eat, until they ate to their fill. A group went out (after eating the food), and another group came in until all of them had eaten. He (the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said to me: “Anas, lift it [the earthen vessel]” so I lifted it, but I could not assess whether it had more food when I placed it (before the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) or when I lifted it (after the people had been served out of it).1

“A woman brought a new woven Burdah (sheet to cloak oneself with) having an edging (border) to the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. The woman said: ‘I have woven it with my own hands and I have brought it so that you may wear it.’ The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, accepted it, and at that time he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, was in need of it. So he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, came out wearing it as his waist-sheet. A man praised it and said: ‘Will you give it to me? How nice it is!’ The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Yes indeed.” He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, sat in the gathering for as long as Allah willed for him to stay, and then he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, went back to his house and folded the Burdah and sent it to the man. The other people said to the man (who asked for the Burdah): ‘You have not done the right thing as the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is in need of it and you asked for it when you know that he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sal- lam, never turns down anybody’s request.’ The man replied: ‘By Allah, I have not asked for it to wear it but to make it my shroud.’ Later it was indeed his shroud.’3
