Silsilah as-Sahihah 970 — Ruling on accepting gifts from polytheists

It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Abdullah bin Ka'b bin Malik Salmi that 'Amir bin Malik bin Ja'far, who was called «ملاعب الاسنة» (meaning: the one who plays with arrows), came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was a polytheist. The Prophet presented Islam to him, but he refused to accept it. Then he presented a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "I do not accept the gift of a polytheist."
