Al-Sa'b b. Jaththama al-Laithi reported that he presented a wild ass to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) when he was at al-Abwa', or Waddan, and he refused to accept it. He (the narrator) said:
When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) looked into my face (which had the mark of dejection as my present had been rejected by him) he (in order to console me) said: We have refused it only because we are in a state of Ihram.
