1082 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ أَهْدَي لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاقَةً، فَأَعْطَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يَرْضَ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ ثَلَاثًا، فَلَمْ يَرْضَ، ثُمَّ أَعْطَاهُ ثَلَاثًا، فَرَضِيَ بِالتِّسْعِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَتَهَبَّ هِبَةً إِلَّا مِنْ قُرَشيٍّ، أَوْ أَنْصَارِيٍّ، أَوْ ثَقَفِيٍّ، أَوْ دَوْسِيٍّ» قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: وَقَالَ غَيْرُ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ: قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: لَمَّا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ الْتَفَتَ، فَرَآنِي فَاسْتَحْيَي، فَقَالَ: «أَوْ دَوْسِيٌّ»
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A Bedouin presented a she-camel as a gift to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him three she-camels in return. But he was not satisfied with that. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him three more she-camels, yet he was still not satisfied. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him three more she-camels. He became satisfied after receiving nine she-camels. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have decided that from now on I will only accept a gift from a Qurayshi, Ansari, Thaqafi, or Dosi person." Sufyan says: Other narrators besides Ibn ‘Ajlan have reported this statement. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his attention and looked towards me, so I felt shy. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(Or I will accept a gift) from a Dosi person."

Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
In this hadith, there is evidence of the generosity of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and it is also established that whoever gives you a gift, it is Sunnah to give him a better gift in return. Some people spend their entire lives only receiving gifts and never giving them; this approach is incorrect.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) The reason for this statement was that a Bedouin gave you a camel as a gift. His intention was to receive compensation. You gave him six camels, yet he was still not satisfied, so you made this remark because people considered you like ordinary kings from whom money is extracted through tricks and excuses.
(2) The Quraysh, Ansar, Thaqif, and Daws, since they were trained by you and were aware of your status, used to give you gifts for the sake of blessing (tabarruk). Therefore, you made an exception for these tribes.
(3) The purpose of this hadith is that if the person giving the gift is greedy and is not satisfied with the compensation given in return, then it is permissible to refuse to accept the gift.
(4) It is permissible to give the giver of a gift something in return for his gift.

In reality, some people began to present gifts to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with the intention of receiving abundant recompense in return.
At that time, he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam expressed this resolve, and the aforementioned families were, by nature, affluent.
And generally, there was no greed found among them.
