An onager was presented to Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the place called Al-Abwa' or Waddan, but Allah's Apostle rejected it. When the Prophet ﷺ noticed the signs of sorrow on the giver's face he said, "We have not rejected your gift, but we are in the state of Ihram." (i.e. if we were not in a state of Ihram we would have accepted your gift, Fath-ul-Bari page 130, Vol. 6)  

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا وَهْوَ بِالأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا فِي وَجْهِهِ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّا حُرُمٌ  

From As-Sa'b bin Jath-thama Al-Laithi that the latter presented an onager to Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was at Al-Abwa' or at Waddan, and he refused it. On noticing the signs of some unpleasant feeling of disappointment on his (As-Sab's) face, the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "I have only returned it because I am Muhrim."  

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا وَهْوَ بِالأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا فِي وَجْهِهِ قَالَ إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّا حُرُمٌ  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked into my face (which had the mark of dejection as my present had been rejected by him) he (in order to console me) said: We have refused it only because we are in a state of Ihram.  

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا وَهُوَ بِالأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّا حُرُمٌ  

he gave the Messenger of Allah an onager when he was in Al-Abwa or in Waddan, but the Messenger of Allah gave it back to him. "And when the Messenger of Allah saw the expression on my face he said: "We only gave it back to you because we are in Ihram.'"  

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ بِالأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ أَمَّا إِنَّهُ لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّا حُرُمٌ  

As-S'ab bin Jath-thamah informed him that the Messenger of Allah had passed him at Al-Abwa or Bawaddan. He (As-S'ab) gave him a wild donkey but he refused it. When the Messenger of Allah noticed on his face that he was upset, he said: "We would not refuse you, but we are in Ihram"  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ بِالأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَأَهْدَى لَهُ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا فِي وَجْهِهِ مِنَ الْكَرَاهِيَةِ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ  

“Sa;b bin Jaththamah told us: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me when I was in Abwa’ or Waddan, and I gave him some meat of a wild donkey, but he gave it back to me, and when he saw from my face that I was upset, he said: ‘The only reason that we are giving it back is that we are in Ihram.’”  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا بِالأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَأَهْدَيْتُ لَهُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَىَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى فِي وَجْهِيَ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ  

Yahya related to me from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud, from Abdullah ibn Abbas, that as-Sab ibn Jaththama al-Laythi once gave a wild ass to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was at al- Abwa, or Waddan, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave it back to him. However, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw the expression on the man's face he said, "We only gave it back to you because we are in ihram."  

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا وَهُوَ بِالأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّا حُرُمٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me while I was skinning a dead animal. I offered him the meat of a wild donkey, which is forbidden, and he returned it to me. When he saw the disapproval on my face, he said, "We do not return things to you because of you, but because it is forbidden." He also said, "I heard him say, 'There is no protection except with Allah and His Messenger.'" He was asked about the people of the house from among the pagans who slept with their wives and children, and he said, "They are from them."  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَأَهْدَيْتُ لَهُ لَحْمَ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى فِي وَجْهِي الْكَرَاهِيَةَ قَالَ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ قَالَ وَسُئِلَ عَنْ أَهْلِ الدَّارِ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُبَيَّتُونَ فَيُصَابُ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ وَذَرَارِيِّهِمْ قَالَ هُمْ مِنْهُمْ  

he gave the Messenger of Allah an onager when he was in Al-Abwa or in Waddan, but the Messenger of Allah gave it back to him. "And when the Messenger of Allah saw the expression on my face he said: "We only gave it back to you because we are in Ihram.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2819)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنَّا حُرُمٌ  

[Machine] I heard Sa'd bin Jathama bin Qais Al-Laythi say: "I presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a wild donkey as a gift. He rejected it and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw displeasure on my face, he said: 'It is not that we reject it because of you, but it is impermissible for us.'"  

سَمِعْتُ الصَّعْبَ بْنَ جَثَّامَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ يَقُولُ أَهْدَيْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَجْهِي الْكَرَاهِيَةَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ

وَأَهْدَيْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَحْمَ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنَّا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَرَّ بِي وَأَنَا بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَأَهْدَيْتُ لَهُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺالْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ شِهَابٍ الْحِمَارُ عَقِيرٌ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me while I was in Al-Abwa or Waddan, so I presented to him the meat of a wild donkey. He returned it to me when he saw dislike in my face, saying, "It is not permissible for us, but it is for them." The Prophet ﷺ was asked about staying overnight in a polytheist's house where their women and children are present, and he said, "They are from them." I also heard him say, "There is no protection except for Allah and His Messenger."  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَأَهْدَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ لَحْمَ حِمَارٍ وَحْشٍ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ» وَسُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الدَّارِ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُبَيَّتُونَ فَيُصَابُ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ وَذَرَارِيِّهِمْ قَالَ «هُمْ مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ»  

[Machine] "He presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a wild donkey, either from al-Abwa' or from Waddan, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned it to me. That hurt me deeply and when he saw the expression on my face, he said, 'We are not rejecting you, but we are forbidden from accepting it.'"  

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِمَارَ وَحْشِيٍّ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ قَالَ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ «لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ»

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was given a wild donkey while he was at Al-Abwa, and he returned it to its owner, then he said, "We do not retaliate against you, but we are prohibited from doing so."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أُهْدِيَ لَهُ حِمَارُ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ»  

[Machine] He presented a wild donkey to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , but he returned it. When he saw the rejection in my face from returning his gift, he said, "Indeed, it is not a rejection from us to you, but rather we are forbidden (to accept it)."  

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا فِي وَجْهِي مِنْ رَدِّ هَدِيَّتِهِ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ»  

[Machine] I gifted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a wild donkey that I had tamed with a saddle, and I presented it to him with reins. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned it to me when he saw the distress on my face due to that. He said, "We did not return it to you out of dislike for it, but because it is prohibited for us."  

أَهْدَيْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا صِدْتُهُ بِوَدَّانَ وَأَهْدَيْتُهُ لَهُ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَأَى مَا فِي وَجْهِي مِنْ شِدَّةِ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ كَرَاهِيَةً لَهُ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ»  

[Machine] "He gave the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , a wild donkey, but he refused it and showed his dislike on his face. He said, 'We only return it to you because we are forbidden from accepting it.'"  

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ فَرَدَّهُ فَرَأَى ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنَّا حُرُمٌ»

[Machine] I presented the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a wild donkey, and it was forbidden (to give as a gift). So he returned it to me, and when he saw the expression on my face, he said, "There is no returning on your part, but we are forbidden (to accept it)."  

أَهْدَيْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الَّذِي فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ «لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ»

[Machine] He informed him that he had gifted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a wild donkey while he was in Al-Abwa or Waddan. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned it to him when he recognized in his face displeasure. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is not our habit to return gifts, but we are forbidden from accepting them."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ قَالَ فَرَدَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا عَرَفَ فِي وَجْهِي رَدَّهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ»  

[Machine] I gifted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a wild and stubborn camel, but he returned it to me. When he saw the expression on my face, he said, "We returned it to you only because it is forbidden for us."  

أَهْدَيْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رِجْلَ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ وَهُوَ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا بِوَجْهِي قَالَ «إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنَّا حُرُمٌ»  

[Machine] He gifted the messenger of Allah ﷺ a wild donkey, which was stubborn or untamed. The messenger of Allah ﷺ returned it back to him. He noticed sadness on my face upon returning it to me, so he said, "It is not because we are returning it to you, but we are prohibited (from accepting it)."  

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا وَهُوَ بِوَدَّانَ أَوْ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَفَ فِي وَجْهِي كَآبَةَ رَدَّهِ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ»
