Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If someone is given something, he should give a return for it provided he can afford; if he cannot afford, he should praise him. He who praises him for it, thanks him, and he who conceals it is ungrateful to him.Abu Dawud said: It has been transmitted by Yahya b. Ayyub, from ‘Umarah b. Ghaziyyah, from Sharahbil on the authority of JabirAbu Dawud said: In the chain of this tradition ‘Umarah b. Ghaziyyah said: A man from my tribe said. The man referred by him is in Sharahbil. It is likely that they disliked him and, therefore, they did not blame him.
