حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ يُونُسَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ ذِي الْجَوْشَنِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الضِّبَابِ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ أَنْ فَرَغَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ بِابْنِ فَرَسٍ لِي يُقَالُ لَهَا الْقَرْحَائُ فَقُلْتُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي قَدْ جِئْتُکَ بِابْنِ الْقَرْحَائِ لِتَتَّخِذَهُ قَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ أَقِيضَکَ بِهِ الْمُخْتَارَةَ مِنْ دُرُوعِ بَدْرٍ فَعَلْتُ قُلْتُ مَا کُنْتُ أَقِيضُهُ الْيَوْمَ بِغُرَّةٍ قَالَ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2786
Narrated Dhul-Jawshan: A man of ad-Dabab, said: When the Prophet ﷺ became free from the people of Badr I brought to him a colt of my mare called al-Qarha' I said: Muhammad, I have brought a colt of a al-Qarha', so that you may take it. He said: I have no need of it. If you wish that I give you a select coat of mail from (the spoils of) Badr, I shall do it. I said: I cannot give you today a colt in exchange. He said: Then I have no need of it.
