Sahih al-Bukhari 5489 (Book 72, Hadith 15) #5265
Chasing Rabbits for the Prophet

SUMMARY: Anas bin Malik and his companions chased a rabbit until they got tired, but Anas alone ran after it and caught it. Abu Talha then sent its legs to the Prophet who accepted them.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: We provoked a rabbit at Marr Az-Zahran till it started jumping. My companions chased it till they got tired. But I alone ran after it and caught it and brought it to Abu Talha. He sent both its legs to the Prophet who accepted them.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَنْفَجْنَا أَرْنَبًا بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ، فَسَعَوْا عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى لَغِبُوا، فَسَعَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى أَخَذْتُهَا، فَجِئْتُ بِهَا إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ بِوَرِكِهَا وَفَخِذَيْهَا فَقَبِلَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Anas bin Malik and his companions were chasing a rabbit at Marr Az-Zahran when they got tired, but he alone kept running after it until he caught it. He then brought it to Abu Talha who sent both its legs to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who accepted them. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to do our best in whatever task we are given, even if others have given up on it or become too tired to continue. It also shows us that we should be generous with our gifts and offerings, as Abu Talha was generous enough to give away both of the rabbit's legs as a gift for the Prophet ﷺ. Lastly, this hadith teaches us that we should always show respect for those in authority by accepting their gifts or offerings with gratitude and appreciation.
