Refusing Gifts of Scent

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ never refused a gift of scent and Anas followed this example.

Narrated Thumama bin 'Abdullah;: Anas never used to refuse (a gift of) scent and used to say that the Prophet never used to refuse (a gift of) scent.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَزْرَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ثُمَامَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لاَ يَرُدُّ الطِّيبَ، وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ لاَ يَرُدُّ الطِّيبَ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Accepting Gifts

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of accepting gifts. It was narrated by Thumama bin 'Abdullah that Anas never used to refuse a gift of scent and said that the Prophet never used to refuse a gift of scent either. This shows us how important it is to accept gifts from others as it was something practiced by the Prophet himself. It also teaches us to be generous and kind when receiving gifts from others as it can make them feel appreciated and respected. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us not to be too proud or arrogant when receiving gifts as even the Prophet accepted them with humility and grace.
