Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 1155 — Accepting gifts is Sunnah

Narrated Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that his maternal aunt Umm Hufaid sent the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) a gift of cheese, ghee, and sahna (a kind of animal). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate the cheese and ghee, but left the sahna with aversion. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "But the sahna was eaten at the table of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). If it had been forbidden, how could it have been eaten at the table of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)?"
