Summary
The hadith exists and is narrated from Abdullah ibn Umar, among others by al-Tirmidhi, al-Bayhaqi and Abu Nuaim. Al-Tirmidhi graded it gharib, while Ibn Hajar and al-Munawi described it as hasan, and this ruling leans towards grading it hasan. Its meaning is that these three modest gifts should not be refused when offered, especially by a host to a guest, since they cause no pride in the giver and no harm to the recipient.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan apa yang telah dikemukakan, kami lebih cenderung mengatakan bahawa hadis tersebut adalah hadis yang hasan.
