Hadith of Iyad ibn Himar Al-Mujashi'i (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 17482 — Hadith of Iyad ibn Himar Al-Mujashi'i
حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ , أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ الْمُجَاشِعِيِّ ، وَكَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعْرِفَةٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُبْعَثَ ، فَلَمَّا بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَهْدَى لَهُ هَدِيَّةً قَالَ : أَحْسَبُهَا إِبِلًا ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهَا ، وَقَالَ : " إِنَّا لَا نَقْبَلُ زَبْدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ " . قَالَ : قُلْتُ : وَمَا زَبْدُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ؟ قَالَ : رِفْدُهُمْ ، هَدِيَّتُهُمْ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Iyad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the mutual acquaintance between the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and him had already taken place before the Prophethood. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was appointed as a Prophet, he presented a gift, probably a camel, to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) refused to accept it and said, "We do not accept 'zabad' from the polytheists." The narrator asked about the meaning of 'zabad', and it was explained that it means a gift or present.
