(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا) عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا أَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَكْرَةً، فَعَوَّضَهُ سِتَّ بَكَرَاتٍ فَتَسَخَّطَهُ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: ”إِنَّ فُلَانًا أَهْدَى إِلَيَّ نَاقَةً، وَهِيَ نَاقَتِي أَعْرِفُهَا كَمَا أَعْرِفُ بَعْضَ أَهْلِي، ذَهَبَتْ مِنِّي يَوْمَ زَغَابَاتِ فَعَوَّضْتُهُ سِتَّ بَكَرَاتٍ فَظَلَّ سَاخِطًا، لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَقْبَلَ هَدِيَّةً إِلَّا مِنْ قُرَشِيٍّ أَوْ أَنْصَارِيٍّ أَوْ ثَقَفِيٍّ أَوْ دَوْسِيٍّ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin presented a she-camel as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him six she-camels in return, yet he still remained displeased. When this news reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he praised and glorified Allah, and then said: "Such-and-such a man presented me a she-camel as a gift, even though it was my own she-camel. I recognized it just as I recognize my own family. It had slipped from my hands on the day of the battle of Zughaba. Nevertheless, I gave him six she-camels in return, but he still remained displeased. Now I have decided that I will not accept any gift from anyone except a Qurayshi, Ansari, Thaqafi, or Dosi."
