3537. It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'By Allāh, I shall never accept any gift (Hadiyyah) after today, unless it is from a Qurashi Muhājir, or an Anṣārī, or a Dawsī, or a Thaqafī.'" (Saḥih)

Arabic text

3537 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّازِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَايْمُ اللَّهِ، لَا أَقْبَلُ بَعْدَ يَوْمِي هَذَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ هَدِيَّةً، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مُهَاجِرًا قُرَشِيًّا، أَوْ أَنْصَارِيًّا، أَوْ دَوْسِيًّا، أَوْ ثَقَفِيًّا»

Commentary

Some people, expecting a handsome return from the Prophet ﷺ, had started bringing gifts, and they complained about what he reciprocated with, and in some of the narrations, they even brought him something as a gift that had been stolen from him. Hence, he determined not to accept gifts but from those whom he knew well.
