Sunan Abi Dawud 4172 (Book 35, Hadith 14) #24462
The Benefits of Accepting Perfume as a Gift

SUMMARY: It is better to accept a gift of perfume than to reject it.

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah as saying: If anyone is presented some perfume, he should not return it, for it is a thing of good fragrance and light to bear.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، - الْمَعْنَى - أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُقْرِئَ، حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ طِيبٌ فَلاَ يَرُدَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ طَيِّبُ الرِّيحِ خَفِيفُ الْمَحْمَلِ
