Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us, saying: I recited to Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah, from Ibn Abbas, from al-Sa'b ibn Jaththamah al-Laythi, that he gifted a wild donkey to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while he was at al-Abwa' — or at Waddan — and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, returned it to him. He said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saw the expression on my face, he said: "We did not return it to you except that we are in a state of ihram."
