Narrated 'Imran bin Hussein: A delegation from Banu Tamim came to the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ said, "Accept the good tidings, O Banu Tamim!" They said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! You have given us good tidings, so give us (something)". Signs of displeasure appeared on his face. Then another delegation from Yemen came and he said (to them), "Accept the good tidings, for Banu Tamim refuses to accept them". They replied, "We have accepted them, O Allah's Messenger ﷺ!"
The Prophet's reaction towards Banu Tamim's refusal was one of displeasure which shows how important it is for us to accept Allah's blessings with an open heart and not reject them out of arrogance or pride. We must remember that whatever we receive is only due to Allah's mercy upon us so we should be grateful for all His gifts no matter how small they may seem at first glance.
