[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ, when he was presented with food, would ask about it; if it was charity, he would not eat it, and if it was a gift, he would eat it.  

أحمد:١٠٣٧٦حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ صَدَقَةً لَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَإِنْ كَانَ هَدِيَّةً أَكَلَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ أَكَلَ مِنْهَا وَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا
