Sunan an-Nasai 4312 (Book 42, Hadith 50) #18845
Acceptance of Gifts

SUMMARY: Anas caught a rabbit and brought it to Abu Talhah who slaughtered it and sent its thighs and haunches to the Prophet, who accepted it.

Anas said: "We disturbed a rabbit in Marr Az-Zahran so I caught it, and brought it to Abu Talhah who slaughtered it, and sent me with its thighs and haunches to the Prophet and he accepted it".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ أَنْفَجْنَا أَرْنَبًا بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَجِئْتُ بِهَا إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَذَبَحَهَا فَبَعَثَنِي بِفَخِذَيْهَا وَوَرِكَيْهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَقَبِلَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the acceptance of gifts. Anas was out with his friends when they disturbed a rabbit in Marr Az-Zahran. He caught the rabbit and brought it to Abu Talhah, who then slaughtered it and sent its thighs and haunches as a gift to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ accepted this gift with gratitude, showing us that we should accept gifts from others with appreciation. This hadith also teaches us that we should be generous in giving gifts to others, as Abu Talhah was generous enough to give away part of his catch as a gift for someone else. We can also learn from this hadith that animals should be treated humanely when being slaughtered for food or other purposes; Abu Talhah showed mercy by slaughtering the animal quickly so that it would not suffer unnecessarily.
