Refusing Gifts While in Ihram

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا زَيْدُ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ هَلْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُهْدِيَ إِلَيْهِ عُضْوُ صَيْدٍ فَلَمْ يَقْبَلْهُ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّا حُرُمٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ
