It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Giving a gift to the ruler is misappropriation."
No one narrated this hadith from Khayr bin Nu'aym (may Allah have mercy on him) except Khalid bin Humayd (may Allah have mercy on him), and Muhammad bin Himyar (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
