Abstract
Grants and gifts represent a significant cultural manifestation observed among the councils of the Companions in the Levant. They contributed significantly to enhancing social relations between those in authority and influential figures within the general public, aiming to secure their backing in solidifying their governance, addressing challenges, and fostering connections of affection and familiarity among themselves, particularly within their ranks. Muawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan generously provided gifts to the family of the Prophet, offering a variety of valuable items including money, gold, silver, jewellery, and musk. His intention was to support their needs and assist them in their daily lives.
