حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ الصَّعْبِ بْنِ جَثَّامَةَ رضى الله عنهم

أَنَّهُ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا وَهْوَ بِالأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا فِي وَجْهِهِ قَالَ: «أَمَا إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّا حُرُمٌ»

An onager was presented to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) at the place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, but the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) rejected it. When the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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).

সা‘আব ইবনু জাসসামাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি (সা‘আব ইবনু জাসসামা) রাসূলুল্লাহ (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম)-এর জন্য একটি বন্য গাধা হাদিয়া পাঠালেন। রাসূলুল্লাহ (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) তখন আবওয়া কিংবা ওয়াদ্দান নামক স্থানে ছিলেন। তিনি হাদিয়া ফেরত পাঠালেন। পরে তার বিষণ্ণ মুখ দেখে বললেন, শুন! আমরা ইহরাম অবস্থায় না থাকলে তোমার হাদিয়া ফেরত দিতাম না। (১৮২৫)

ہم سے اسماعیل بن ابی اویس نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ مجھ سے امام مالک نے بیان کیا ابن شہاب سے، وہ عبیداللہ بن عبداللہ بن عتبہ بن مسعود سے، وہ عبداللہ بن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما سے اور اور وہ صعب بن جثامہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے کہ انہوں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں گورخر کا تحفہ پیش کیا تھا۔

آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اس وقت مقام ابواء یا مقام ودان میں تھے ( راوی کو شبہ ہے ) آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان کا تحفہ واپس کر دیا۔ پھر ان کے چہرے پر ( رنج کے آثار ) دیکھ کر فرمایا کہ میں نے یہ تحفہ صرف اس لیے واپس کیا ہے کہ ہم احرام باندھے ہوئے ہیں۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Isma'il] berkata, telah menceritakan kepadaku [Malik] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari ['Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah bin Mas'ud] dari ['Abdullah bin 'Abbas] dari [As Sha'bi bin Jatstsamah] radliallahu 'anhum bahwa dia menghadiahkan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam seekor keledai liar di Abwa; atau di Waddan namun Beliau menolaknya.

Ketika Beliau melihat raut mukanya, Beliau berkata: "Kami tidak bermaksud menolak keledai tersebut, tapi kami menolaknya karena kami sedang ihram

Abdullah b. Abbas r.a., Sa'b b. Cessame r.a.'den rivayet etmiştir: Sa'b, Allah Resulüne Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem Ebva'da veya Veddan'da bulunduğu sırada bir yabani eşek (zebra) hediye etmişti. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem onun hediyesini geri çevirdi. Sonra bozulduğunu fark edince: "Hediyeni ihram/ı olduğumuz için geri çevirdik" buyurdu

What it means

One of the aspects of the excellent moral character of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was that he never flattered people at the expense of Allah's religion; but he never failed to soothe their hearts as well. While the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was in a state of "Ihrām", he happened to pass by As-Sa‘b ibn Jaththāmah (may Allah be pleased with him) who was a skillful archer and runner.

So, when the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) passed by him, he hunted a zebra and offered it to him, whereupon the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) refused to accept it. This hurt As-Sa‘b so much; as how would the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) refuse his gift? So, his face changed (due to grief).

When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) noticed that, he soothed his heart, and told him that he only refused it because he was in a state of "Ihrām", and a person in such a state cannot eat from any game that was hunted on his behalf.
