1576. 'Ali narrated from the Prophet ﷺ, that Kisra sent him a gift so he accepted, and that kings gave him gifts and he accepted them. (Ḍa'if) There is something about this from Jābir. This is a Ḥasan Gharīb Ḥadīth. Thuwair (a narrator in the chain) is Ibn Abī Fākhitah, whose name was Sa'eed bin Ilāqah, and Thuwair's Kunyah was Abū Jahm.
١٥٧٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنْ ثُوَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَنَّ كِسْرَى» أَهْدَى لَهُ فَقَبِلَ، وَأَنَّ الْمُلُوكَ أَهْدَوْا إِلَيْهِ فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُمْ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَثُوَيْرُ بْنُ أَبِي فَاخِتَةَ اسْمُهُ: سَعِيدُ بْنُ عِلَاقَةَ، وَثُوَيْرٌ يُكْنَى: أَبَا جَهْمٍ.
