٤٩۔ كِتَابُ النَّفَقَاتِ
[Machine] A Jewish woman came to the Prophet ﷺ with a poisoned sheep, and he ate from it. Then, it was brought to him and he was asked if it should be killed. He said no, as he was still aware of its poison because of the revelation from Allah ﷺ . This hadith was narrated by Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz, who narrated from Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, who narrated from Ahmad ibn Salamah, Muhammad ibn An-Nadr, and Muhammad ibn Ismail. Ibn Nadr reported this, and the other two also reported it with the same chain of narration, except that Khaled ibn Al-Harith mentioned it in a similar chain of narration, except that he mentioned that it was brought to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , and he asked the woman about it, and she admitted that she intended to poison him. He then said that Allah would not allow her to harm him, or he said Allah would not allow her to harm him. They asked if it should be killed, and he said no. Then, the rest of the hadith is mentioned.
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً يَهُودِيَّةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِشَاةٍ مَسْمُومَةٍ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا فَجِيءَ بِهَا فَقَيلَ أَلَا نَقْتُلُهَا؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَعْرِفُهَا فِي لَهَوَاتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ 16006 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ ابْنُ النَّضْرِ أَنْبَأَ وَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِ إِسْنَادِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَجِيءَ بِهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَرَدْتُ لِأَقْتُلَكَ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ اللهُ لِيُسَلِّطَكِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ قَالُوا أَلَا نَقْتُلُهَا؟ قَالَ لَا ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بَاقِيَ الْحَدِيثِ
A Jewess presented a poisoned sheep to the Prophet ﷺ, but the Prophet ﷺ did not interfere with he. Abu Dawud said: The Jewess who poisoned the Prophet ﷺ was sister of Marhab. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4509)
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَهْدَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ شَاةً مَسْمُومَةً قَالَ فَمَا عَرَضَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ
Jabir ibn Abdullah used to say that a Jewess from the inhabitants of Khaybar poisoned a roasted sheep and presented it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who took its foreleg and ate from it. A group of his companions also ate with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Take your hands away (from the food). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then sent someone to the Jewess and he called her. He said to her: Have you poisoned this sheep? The Jewess replied: Who has informed you? He said: This foreleg which I have in my hand has informed me. She said: Yes. He said: What did you intend by it? She said: I thought if you were a prophet, it would not harm you; if you were not a prophet, we should rid ourselves of him (i.e. the Prophet). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then forgave her, and did not punish her. But some of his companions who ate it, died. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had himself cupped on his shoulder on account of that which he had eaten from the sheep. AbuHind cupped him with the horn and knife. He was a client of Banu Bayadah from the Ansar. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4510)
أَنَّ يَهُودِيَّةً مِنْ أَهْلِ خَيْبَرَ سَمَّتْ شَاةً مَصْلِيَّةً ثُمَّ أَهْدَتْهَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الذِّرَاعَ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا وَأَكَلَ رَهْطٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ارْفَعُوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَهُودِيَّةِ فَدَعَاهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا أَسَمَمْتِ هَذِهِ الشَّاةَ؟ قَالَتِ الْيَهُودِيَّةُ مَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ؟ قَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي هَذِهِ فِي يَدِي لِلذِّرَاعِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَمَا أَرَدْتِ إِلَى ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ إِنْ كَانَ نَبِيًّا فَلَنْ يَضُرَّهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يكُنْ نَبِيًّا اسْتَرَحْنَا مِنْهُ فَعَفَا عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يُعَاقِبْهَا وَتُوُفِّيَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ الَّذِينَ أَكَلُوا مِنَ الشَّاةِ وَاحْتَجَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى كَاهِلِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ الَّذِي أَكَلَ مِنَ الشَّاةِ حَجَمَهُ أَبُو هِنْدٍ بِالْقَرْنِ وَالشَّفْرَةِ وَهُوَ مَوْلًى لِبَنِي بَيَاضَةَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ 16009 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ثنا خَالِدٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْدَتْ لَهُ يَهُودِيَّةٌ بِخَيْبَرَ شَاةً مَصْلِيَّةً نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ فَمَاتَ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَعْرُورٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْيَهُودِيَّةِ مَا حَمَلَكِ عَلَى الَّذِي صَنَعْتِ؟ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُتِلَتْ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَمْرَ الْحِجَامَةِ
[Machine] A Jewish woman invited the Prophet ﷺ and his companions to a sheep that was poisoned. When they sat down to eat, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a bite of food and then said to them, "Stop, this sheep is poisoned." He asked the Jewish woman, "What made you poison me?" She replied, "I wanted to test if you were truly a Prophet. If you were, then the poison would not harm you. And if not, then I would save people from you." Then Bashir ibn Al-Bara' ate from it and died. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ killed the woman who poisoned him. Abu Al-Hasan ibn Abdan narrated to us that Ahmad ibn Ubayd told us, who narrated from Ismail ibn Ishaq Al-Thaqafi, who narrated from Abu Hammam Al-Walid ibn Shuja', who narrated from Abbad ibn Al-Awwam, who narrated from Muhammad ibn Amr, who narrated from Abu Salamah, who narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ killed her, meaning the one who poisoned him.
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً يَهُودِيَّةً دَعَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابًا لَهُ عَلَى شَاةٍ مَصْلِيَّةٍ فَلَمَّا قَعَدُوا يَأْكُلُونَ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لُقْمَةً فَوَضَعَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَمْسِكُوا إِنَّ هَذِهِ الشَّاةَ مَسْمُومَةٌ فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَيْلَكِ لِأِيِّ شَيْءٍ سَمَمْتِنِي؟ قَالَتْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَعْلَمَ إِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيًّا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَضُرُّكَ وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ أُرِيحَ النَّاسَ مِنْكَ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ فَمَاتَ فَقَتَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ 16011 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ عَبْدَانَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ثنا أَبُو هَمَّامٍ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ شُجَاعٍ ثنا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَتَلَهَا يَعْنِي الَّتِي سَمَّتْهُ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was presented with a poisoned roasted sheep that was given to him by a Jewish woman. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ate from it, as did Bishr ibn al-Bara'. They both fell seriously ill as a result. When Bishr became critically ill, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed about the woman who had given him the poisoned sheep. He sent for her and asked her, "What made you do this?" She said, "I knew that if you were a Prophet, the poison would not harm you. But if you were just a king, I wanted to relieve the people from you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered her execution. She was put to death in the year 616. Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz reported that Abu Abdullah ibn Batta al-Asbahani narrated to him from al-Hassan ibn al-Jahm, who narrated from al-Husayn ibn al-Faraj, who narrated from al-Waqidi, who narrated from Yahya ibn Abdul Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman ibn Labibah, from his grandfather Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered her execution. Al-Waqidi mentioned that there were different narrations regarding the way in which she was killed, and the narration of Anas ibn Malik is considered the most authentic. It is also possible that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , at the beginning, did not punish her since no one from his companions had died yet as a result of eating the poisoned meat. But when Bishr ibn al-Bara' died, he ordered her execution. Each of the narrators conveyed what he personally witnessed. And Allah knows best.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يوْمَ خَيْبَرَ أُتِيَ بِشَاةٍ مَسْمُومَةٍ مَصْلِيَّةٍ أَهْدَتْهَا لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ يَهُودِيَّةٌ فَأَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هُوَ وَبِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ فَمَرِضَا مَرَضًا شَدِيدًا عَنْهَا ثُمَّ إِنَّ بِشْرًا تُوُفِّيَ فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَهُودِيَّةِ فَأُتِيَ بِهَا فَقَالَ وَيْحَكِ مَاذَا أَطْعَمْتِينَا؟ قَالَتْ أَطْعَمْتُكَ السُّمَّ عَرَفْتُ إِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيًّا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَضُرُّكَ وَإِنَّ اللهَ سَيَبْلُغُ فِيكَ أَمْرُهُ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ عَلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُرِيحَ النَّاسَ مِنْكَ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصُلِبَتْ 16013 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنُ بَطَّةَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ ثنا الْوَاقِدِيُّ أنبأ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ لَبِيبَةَ عَنْ جَدِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَصُلِبَتْ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَتَلَهَا قَالَ الْوَاقِدِيُّ الثَّبْتُ عِنْدَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَتَلَهَا وَأَمَرَ بِلَحْمِ الشَّاةِ فَأُحْرِقَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ اخْتَلَفَتِ الرِّوَايَاتُ فِي قَتْلِهَا وَرِوَايَةُ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَصَحُّهَا وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنَّهُ ﷺ فِي الِابْتِدَاءِ لَمْ يُعَاقِبْهَا حِينَ لَمْ يمُتْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ مِمَّا أَكَلَ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهَا فَأَدَّى كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الرُّوَاةِ مَا شَاهَدَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
