It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man gave the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a milch she-camel as a gift. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him six young she-camels in return for it, but the man remained displeased (with them). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will accept my excuse regarding so-and-so? He gave me a she-camel as a gift, and it is as if I see it (as a boast) in the faces of his family. Then I gave him six young she-camels in return for it, yet he remained displeased. I had firmly resolved that from now on I would not accept a gift from anyone except a Qurashi, an Ansari, a Thaqafi or a Dawsi." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Dirar bin al-Azwar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: My family sent me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a milch she-camel that they had given to him as a gift, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Milk her, but leave some milk in the udder (for the young one)."
