Chapter 282

The desirability of making an excuse when returning a gift for some reason required by Sharī‘ah, such as being qāḍī or ruler or because there is something doubtful about it or for some other reason

Remembrance 1
WE RELATE IN the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim that ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās Honorific symbol related that aṣ-Ṣa‘b ibn Jaththāmah Honorific symbol gave the Prophet Honorific symbol a wild donkey as a gift while he was in iḥrām. He returned it to him and said: “Had we not been in the state of iḥrām we would have accepted it from you.” [1].
I say that Jaththāmah has a fatḥah on the jīm and a shaddah on the thā’.
