Hadith 735

As-Sa'b bin Jath-thamah al-Laithi (RAA) narrated, ‘He presented to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) the meat of a zebra while he was in the area known as al-Abwa’ or Waddan. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) declined it, and said to him, “We declined your present only because we are in the state of Ihram." Agreed upon.

وَعَنْ اَلصَّعْبِ بْنِ جَثَّامَةَ اَللَّيْثِيِّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا, وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ, أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ، فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ, وَقَالَ: " إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنَّا حُرُمٌ " } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ <sup>1</sup>‏ .‏
