Acceptance of Gifts

SUMMARY: The Prophet accepted a gift of two legs of a rabbit that was caught and slaughtered by Abu Talha.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Once we provoked a rabbit at Marr-az-Zahran. The people chased it till they got tired. Then I caught It and brought it to Abu Talha, who slaughtered it and then sent both its pelvic pieces (or legs) to the Prophet, and the Prophet accepted the present.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَنْفَجْنَا أَرْنَبًا وَنَحْنُ بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ، فَسَعَى الْقَوْمُ فَلَغَبُوا، فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَجِئْتُ بِهَا إِلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَذَبَحَهَا، فَبَعَثَ بِوَرِكَيْهَا ـ أَوْ قَالَ بِفَخِذَيْهَا ـ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَقَبِلَهَا‏.‏
