The Rites of Pilgrimage
ENGLISH
As-Sa'b b. Jaththama said that he presented to God’s messenger a wild ass when he was at al-Abwa’ or Waddan (A village not far from al-Abwa’) and that he rejected it, but when he saw how he looked he said, "I rejected it only because I am in the sacred state." Bukhari and Muslim.
ARABIC
عَن الصعب بن جثامة أَنه أهْدى رَسُول اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا وَهُوَ بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رأى مَا فِي وَجْهَهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّا لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أنَّا حُرُمٌ»
