Sayyiduna Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) camped at Marr az-Zahran, and a pair of deer was presented to him as a gift. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned them to the messenger and said:“Convey our greetings to them, for we are in the state of Ihram. If we were not in Ihram, we would not have returned them.”
