SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave back an Onager to As-Sab bin Jaththamah when he was in Ihram.

It was narrated from As-Sab bin Jaththamah that: he gave the Messenger of Allah an Onager when he was in Al-Abwa or in Waddan, but the Messenger of Allah gave it back to him".And when the Messenger of Allah saw the expression on my face he said: "We only gave it back to you because we are in Ihram'."
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ الصَّعْبِ بْنِ جَثَّامَةَ، أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ بِالأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَمَّا إِنَّهُ لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّا حُرُمٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's generosity and kindness. It was narrated from As-Sab bin Jaththamah that he gave the Messenger of Allah an Onager when he was in Al-Abwa or in Waddan, but the Messenger of Allah gave it back to him. The Prophet saw the expression on his face and said, "We only gave it back to you because we are in Ihram." This hadith teaches us that even though we may be going through a period of spiritual devotion such as Ihram, we should still be generous and kind towards others. We should not forget our obligations towards others even if we are focused on our own spiritual journey. Furthermore, this hadith also shows us how important it is for us to be mindful of other people's feelings and emotions; even though the Prophet did not need to give back the gift, he still did so out of consideration for As-Sab's feelings.
