The Prophet (pbuh) will accept gifts, but will not eat from 'Sadaqah' (charity)

Narrated Abu Huraira (RadhiAllahu 'anhu):

Whenever a meal was brought to Allah's Apostle (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam), he would ask whether it was a gift or Sadaqa (something given in charity). If he was told that it was Sadaqa, he would tell his companions to eat it, but if it was a gift, he would hurry to share it with them.

[Sahih Bukhari - Book 47, Hadith 750]
