The Prophet ﷺ used to accept invitations and gifts, regardless of their worth, out of his refined moral character and graciousness. In this hadeeth, the Prophet ﷺ instructed his Ummah, saying: “I shall accept the invitation even if I were invited to a meal of a sheep's arm or trotter, and I shall accept the gift even if it were a sheep's arm or trotter.” The most beloved part to the Prophet ﷺ from a slaughtered animal was its arm, because this meat can be cooked easily, and is more delicious than the other parts of the animal. A sheep’strotter means the fleshless part of the legs below the knees. He ﷺ stated that if he was invited for a meal of a sheep’s arm or trotter, or it was gifted to him, he ﷺ would graciously accept it. He ﷺ made mention of a sheep’s arm or trotter to indicate his keenness to accept invitations and gifts, regardless of their worth. This reflects his humbleness, kindness, and consideration of the host’s or gift-giver’s feelings, lest he may be hurt or harmed if he ﷺ turned down his invitation or gift. The hadeeth urges Muslims to accept gifts and invitations, and graciously eat from any food served to them, even if it was a small humble meal. .
