Hadith 16680

(حديث موقوف) (حديث مرفوع) قَالَ : وَأَهْدَيْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ ، فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ ، فَعَرَفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِي ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنَّا حُرُمٌ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'b bin Jathamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of Ihram. I presented to him the meat of a wild donkey as a gift, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned it to me. When he saw signs of sadness on my face, he said that there is no reason for returning it except that we are in the state of Ihram.
