What separates implied acceptance in a sale from physical possession in a gift?

Four Modes of Textual Indication: ʿIbārah, Ishārah, Dalālah and Iqtiḍāʾ

• Acceptance may follow the legal implication; possession is an external act
• Possession is always merely a word
• Acceptance never matters in a sale
• A gift can never require any real-world action
