Refusing Gifts from Polytheists

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ refused to accept a gift from a polytheist, as it was prohibited.

Narrated Iyad ibn Himar: I presented a she-camel to the Prophet . He asked: Have you embraced Islam? I replied: #The Prophet said: I have been prohibited to accept the present of polytheists.
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ، قَالَ أَهْدَيْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ نَاقَةً فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَسْلَمْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ لاَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ عَنْ زَبْدِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of following the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. In this hadith, Iyad ibn Himar presented a she-camel to the Prophet ﷺ as a gift. However, when asked if he had embraced Islam, he replied that he hadn't yet done so. The Prophet then said that it was prohibited for him to accept gifts from polytheists. This teaches us that we should always follow the teachings of our beloved prophet and not do anything which is against his teachings or Sunnah. We should also be careful not to accept any gifts or favours from people who are not believers in Islam and its principles.
