Sahih Muslim 1194b (Book 15, Hadith 59) #9994
Refusing Gifts

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was presented with a part of a wild ass, and he returned it to the one who presented it.

The narration transmitted by Hakam (the words are): Al-Sa'b b. Jaththama presented to the Messenger of Allah the leg of a wild ass. And in the narration transmitted by Shu'ba (the words are): (He presented to him) the rump of a wild ass as the blood was trickling from it. In the narration transmitted by Shu'ba on the authority of Habib (the words are): A part of a wild ass was presented to the Apostle (may peace he upon him) and he returned it to him (who presented it).
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَنْصُورًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ، بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، - رضى الله عنهما - فِي رِوَايَةِ مَنْصُورٍ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ أَهْدَى الصَّعْبُ بْنُ جَثَّامَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ رِجْلَ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ ‏.‏ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ شُعْبَةَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَجُزَ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ يَقْطُرُ دَمًا ‏.‏ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ أُهْدِيَ لِلنَّبِيِّ شِقُّ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ فَرَدَّهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Refuse Gifts If Unsure Of Intentions .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of refusing gifts in order to maintain integrity and honesty in our dealings with others. The Prophet Muhammad was presented with a part of a wild ass, and instead of accepting it as his own he returned it to the one who gave it to him. This teaches us that we should not accept gifts from people if we are unsure about their intentions or if they are trying to influence us in any way. We should also be careful not to give gifts that could potentially lead someone else into temptation or corruption. By refusing such gifts, we can ensure that our relationships remain honest and free from any kind of manipulation or deceitful behavior.

The Prophet's example also shows us how important it is for us to remain humble and grateful for whatever Allah has given us without feeling entitled or expecting more than what is due from others. We should always remember that whatever blessings come our way are ultimately from Allah alone, so we must never forget Him when receiving something good from another person's hand either directly or indirectly through their generosity towards us.
