عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «من عُرِضَ عليه رَيْحَانٌ فلا يرده، فإنه خفيف الْمَحْمِلِ، طيب الريح».

Translation

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever is presented with basil should not decline it. Indeed, it is light to carry and pleasant to smell.”

Explanation

Anyone who receives a gift of an aromatic object should accept it, because there is no difficulty in carrying it and likewise its scent is good.
