I heard Abu’l-Hasan, Musa, peace be upon him, say: None rejects generosity except for a donkey. I said: What thing is generosity? He said: Such as perfume and what one man generously offers to another man.

I heard Abu’l-Hasan, peace be upon him, say: None rejects generosity except for a donkey. By that he meant (that one is offered) perfume and a pillow.
