Sahih al-Bukhari 2115 (Book 34, Hadith 68) #2031
Giving and Receiving Gifts

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) asked 'Umar to sell him an unmanageable camel, and then gave it as a present to 'Abdullah bin 'Umar.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (ra) : We were accompanying the Prophet on a journey and I was riding an unmanageable camel belonging to 'Umar (ra), and I could not bring it under my control. So, it used to go ahead of the party and 'Umar would check it and force it to retreat, and again it went ahead and again 'Umar forced it to retreat. The Prophet asked 'Umar to sell that camel to him'.Umar replied, "It is for you O Allah's Messenger !" Allah's Messenger told 'Umar to sell that camel to him (not to give it as gift). So, 'Umar sold it to Allah's Messenger . Then the Prophet said to 'Abdullah bin 'Umar "This camel is for you O 'Abdullah (as a present) and you could do with it whatever you like".
وَقَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ فِي سَفَرٍ فَكُنْتُ عَلَى بَكْرٍ صَعْبٍ لِعُمَرَ، فَكَانَ يَغْلِبُنِي فَيَتَقَدَّمُ أَمَامَ الْقَوْمِ، فَيَزْجُرُهُ عُمَرُ وَيَرُدُّهُ، ثُمَّ يَتَقَدَّمُ فَيَزْجُرُهُ عُمَرُ وَيَرُدُّهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ لِعُمَرَ ‏"‏ بِعْنِيهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ بِعْنِيهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَبَاعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ تَصْنَعُ بِهِ مَا شِئْتَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of giving and receiving gifts. It was narrated by Ibn Umar that they were accompanying the Prophet on a journey, and he noticed that Umar's camel was unmanageable. The Prophet asked Umar to sell him the camel, which he did. Then, the Prophet gave it as a gift to Abdullah bin Umar. This hadith teaches us that giving gifts is an important part of our culture and religion; it shows kindness towards others and strengthens relationships between people. We should always be generous when giving gifts, even if we don't have much money or resources; even small gestures can make someone feel appreciated or special. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us about humility; although Abdullah bin Umar was given such a valuable gift from the Prophet himself, he accepted it with humility instead of pride or arrogance.
