Refusal to Accept Gifts

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ refused to accept gifts from anyone except from people of certain tribes.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet said: I swear by Allah, I shall not accept gift from anyone after this day except from an immigrant Quraishi, an Ansari a Dawsi or a Thaqafi.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّازِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْفَضْلِ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لاَ أَقْبَلُ بَعْدَ يَوْمِي هَذَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ هَدِيَّةً إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُهَاجِرًا قُرَشِيًّا أَوْ أَنْصَارِيًّا أَوْ دَوْسِيًّا أَوْ ثَقَفِيًّا

Be generous towards your friends & family members .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known for his generosity and kindness towards others. He would often give away gifts to those in need or even those who were not in need. However, this hadith shows that the Prophet ﷺ refused to accept gifts from anyone except from people of certain tribes such as the Quraishis, Ansaris and Dawsis or Thaqafis. This is because these tribes were close allies of the Prophet ﷺ and he wanted to show them special respect by accepting their gifts. This hadith also teaches us that we should be generous towards our friends and family members but also be mindful of not taking advantage of them by asking for too much or expecting too much in return.
