nasai:3758Hannād b. al-Sarī > Abū Bakr b. ʿAyyāsh > Yaḥyá b. Hāniʾ > Abū Ḥudhayfah > ʿAbd al-Malik b. Muḥammad b. Bashīr

"The delegation of Thaqif came to the Messenger of Allah, bringing a gift with them. He said: 'Is it a gift or charity?' If it was a gift it would be for the sake of the Messenger of Allah and to have their needs met, and if it was charity then it would be in the cause of Allah. They said: 'It is a gift.' So he accepted it from them, and sat with them, and they asked questions, until he prayed Zuhr with 'Asr."

قَدِمَ وَفْدُ ثَقِيفٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُمْ هَدِيَّةٌ فَقَالَ أَهَدِيَّةٌ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ هَدِيَّةً فَإِنَّمَا يُبْتَغَى بِهَا وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَضَاءُ الْحَاجَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَدَقَةً فَإِنَّمَا يُبْتَغَى بِهَا وَجْهُ اللَّهِ ﷻ قَالُوا لاَ بَلْ هَدِيَّةٌ فَقَبِلَهَا مِنْهُمْ وَقَعَدَ مَعَهُمْ يُسَائِلُهُمْ وَيُسَائِلُونَهُ حَتَّى صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ مَعَ الْعَصْرِ
