Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ الْمُجَاشِعِيِّ وَكَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعْرِفَةٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُبْعَثَ فَلَمَّا بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَل
َيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَهْدَى لَهُ هَدِيَّةً قَالَ أَحْسَبُهَا إِبِلًا فَأَبَى أَنْ يَقْبَلَهَا وَقَالَ إِنَّا لَا نَقْبَلُ زَبْدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا زَبْدُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ رِفْدُهُمْ هَدِيَّتُهُمْ

English Translation
ʿIyāḍ ibn Ḥimār al-Mujāshiʿī — who had a prior acquaintance with the Prophet ﷺ before he was sent — when the Prophet ﷺ was sent, he gifted him a gift. I believe it was camels. But he refused to accept it and said: "We do not accept the gifts of the polytheists." He said: I said: "And what is the gift of the polytheists?" He said: "Their support, their gift."
