Accepting a gift is a sign of humility and noble character. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to accept gifts, no matter how small, out of his humility and to gladden people's hearts. He, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade refusing gifts, as doing so strengthens affection and harmony among Muslims.
