An Arabi presented a young she-camel as a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he gave him six young she-camels in return, but the man was displeased. Word of this reached the Prophet ﷺ, so he praised Allah and glorified Him, then said, "A certain man gave me a she-camel as a gift, though it was originally my own she-camel which I recognize as I recognize some members of my own family. I had lost it on the day of Zughabat. I gave him six young she-camels in return, yet he remained displeased. I have resolved not to accept a gift except from a Qurashi, an Ansari, a Thaqafi, or a Dawsi."
حدثنا يزيد أخبرنا أبو معشر عن سعيد بن أبي سعيد المقبري
أن أعرابيا أهدى إلى رسول الله ﷺ بكرة فعوضه ست بكرات فتسخطه فبلغ ذلك النبي ﷺ فحمد الله وأثنى عليه ثم قال إن فلانا أهدى إلي ناقة وهي ناقتي أعرفها كما أعرف بعض أهلي ذهبت مني يوم زغابات فعوضته ست بكرات فظل ساخطا لقد هممت أن لا أقبل هدية إلا من قرشي أو أنصاري أو ثقفي أو دوسي
