[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ with food, while I was a slave, so I said, "This is a donation." Then he ordered his companions to eat and he did not eat. Then I came to him with food and said, "This is a gift that I have given to you to honor you with it, for I have seen you do not eat charity." So he ordered his companions to eat, and he ate with them.
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِطَعَامٍ وَأَنَا مَمْلُوكٌ فَقُلْتُ هَذِهِ صَدَقَةٌ فَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَأَكَلُوا وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بِطَعَامٍ فَقُلْتُ هَذِهِ هَدِيَّةٌ أَهْدَيْتُهَا لَكَ أُكْرِمُكَ بِهَا فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ لَا تَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ فَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَأَكَلُوا وَأَكَلَ مَعَهُمْ
