[Machine] Saad rode to his palace in Al-Aqiq, and he found a boy hitting or cutting a tree, so he snatched it from him. When Saad returned, the family of the boy approached him and asked him to return what he took from their boy. He said, "I swear by Allah that I will not return anything given by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he refused to return it to them."  

أحمد:١٤٤٣حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ

أَنَّ سَعْدًا رَكِبَ إِلَى قَصْرِهِ بِالْعَقِيقِ فَوَجَدَ غُلامًا يَخْبِطُ شَجَرًا أَوْ يَقْطَعُهُ فَسَلَبَهُ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ سَعْدٌ جَاءَهُ أَهْلُ الْغُلامِ فَكَلَّمُوهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ مَا أَخَذَ مِنْ غُلامِهِمْ فَقَالَ مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ أَرُدَّ شَيْئًا نَفَّلَنِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبَى أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ

[Machine] Saad rode to his palace in Al-Aqeeq and found a slave cutting a tree. He seized him and when he returned, the family of the slave came to ask him to return what he had taken from their slave. He said, "May Allah forbid that I return anything that the Prophet ﷺ has given me as a gift." So, he did not return anything to them.
