Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #30104

Muhammad bin Ismail told us, he said: Ahmad bin Khalid al-Homsi told us, he said: Muhammad bin Ishaq told us, on the authority of Sa`id bin Abi Sa`id. Al-Maqbari, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, said: A man from Bani Fazara presented as a gift to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, a she-camel of his camels. They had harmed the forest, so he compensated him with some of it, which angered him. I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, on this pulpit saying, “Indeed Arab men give one of them a gift and I compensate him with as much of it as I have. Then he gets angry with him and he continues to get angry with me. By God, after this position of mine I will not accept a gift from any Arab man, except from a Qurayshi, Ansari, Thaqafi, or Dawsi.” This is a hasan hadith and it is more authentic than the hadith of Yazid bin Harun on the authority of Ayyub.
