He who was given let him be thankfulحديث من أُعطِيَ فوَجَدَ فلْيجْزِ به

Jaabir bin Abdil-llah-Allah is pleased with them- narrated from the messenger of Allah- peace is upon him- that he said: 

"He who was given a gift and was able to reward for it let him do so, and he who was not able to reward for it let him praise [the giver] for that he who praised has been thankful, and he who concealed [the gift] has disbelieved [minor disbelief]. And he who beautifies himself with something he was not granted is like the wearer of the two garments of false testimony

At-Tirmithee no 2034 and Al-Albaanee graded it as sound in Sahihut-Targheeb no 968. 

Al-Mubaarakfuree said commenting on this hadith in Tuhfatul-Ahwathee vol 1: 

Al-Khattaabee said: There were people from the Arabs called Al-Ma'aareef who were known to be truthful, they had a specific dress. So the man would dress their clothes and give a false testimony and people would believe him when they see his dress. End
