Chapter 14 · The Book of Zakatقَبُولِ النَّبِيِّ الْهَدِيَّةَ وَرَدِّهِ الصَّدَقَةَ
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ الْجُمَحِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ، سَأَلَ عَنْهُ، فَإِنْ قِيلَ: هَدِيَّةٌ، أَكَلَ مِنْهَا، وَإِنْ قِيلَ: صَدَقَةٌ، لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا.

The prophet (saws) accepted gifts but refused Charity
Whenever the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was presented with food, he asked about it, If he was told that it was a gift, he ate out of that, and if he was told that it was a sadaqa he did not eat out of that.
