Chapter on Gifts

Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 32
وَ رَوَى ثُوَيْرُ بْنُ أَبِي فَاخِتَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "أَهْدَى كِسْرَى لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُ وَ أَهْدَى قَيْصَرُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُ وَ أَهْدَتْ لَهُ اَلْمُلُوكُ فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُمْ".
Thuwair ibn Abi Fakhitah narrated from his father, from Imam Ali عليه السلام, who said: "Kisra sent a gift to the Prophet (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family), and He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم accepted it. Caesar also sent a gift to the Prophet (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family), and He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم accepted it. Likewise, the kings sent gifts to Him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم accepted them."
