It is narrated from Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) that the delegation of Thaqeef came to the service of the Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . They presented some gifts to him. The Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم inquired, "Is this a gift or charity?" They replied, "It is a gift." The Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said, "Indeed, with a gift, the pleasure of Allah's Messenger is sought and needs are fulfilled, and with charity, the pleasure of Allah is sought." They said, "No, this is indeed a gift." The Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم accepted it from them. And they kept the Prophet occupied for the entire time of Zuhr (i.e., they remained sitting with him) until he صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم performed Zuhr together with Asr.
