عَن الصعب بن جثامة
أَنه أهْدى رَسُول اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رأى مَا فِي وَجْهَهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أنَّا حُرُمٌ»
He presented to God’s messenger a wild ass when he was at al-Abwa or Waddan (A village not far from al-Abwa) and that he rejected it, but when he saw how he looked he said, “I rejected it only because I am in the sacred state.” Bukhari and Muslim.
