Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I said to Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do you not know that a piece of game was gifted to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in ihram, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) returned it?" He said: "Yes" (in the narration of Hajjaj: he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not accept it), and he said: "We are in ihram." He said: "Yes."
