Whenever a meal was brought to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, 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.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ أَهَدِيَّةٌ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ فَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ لأَصْحَابِهِ كُلُوا وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ ﷺ فَأَكَلَ مَعَهُمْ

Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was presented with food, he asked about it, If he was told that it was a gift, he ate out of that, and if he was told that it was a sadaqa he did not eat out of that.

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

"If something was brought to him, the prophet would ask whether it was a gift or charity. If it was said that if was charity, he would not eat, and if it was said that it was a gift, he would stretch forth his hand."

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِشَىْءٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ أَهَدِيَّةٌ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ فَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ

[Machine] I heard Abu Hurairah say that when the Prophet ﷺ was presented with food from someone other than his household, he would ask about it. If it was said to be a gift, he would eat it, and if it was said to be a charity, he would say, "Eat it," and he would not eat it himself.

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ أَكَلَ وَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ كُلُوا وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ

[Machine] The translation of the passage is as follows: "When the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , was brought food from someone other than his household, he would ask about it. If he was told it was a gift, he would eat it. But if he was told it was charity, he would say, 'Eat it,' and he would not eat it himself."

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ أَكَلَ وَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ كُلُوا وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ

[Machine] Abu Huraira said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "When food that does not belong to his family is brought to him, he would ask about it. If he was told that it was a gift, he would eat it. And if he was told that it was charity, he would say, 'Eat and do not eat.'"

قَالَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ أَكَلَ وَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ كُلُوا وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ

[Machine] I heard Abu Huraira say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to ask about food brought from outside of his household. If it was said to him that it was a gift, he would eat it. But if it was said to him that it was charity, he would say, "Eat," and he wouldn't eat it.

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ قِيلَ لَهُ هَدِيَّةٌ أَكَلَ وَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ كُلُوا وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ

"If something was brought to him, the prophet would ask whether it was a gift or charity. If it was said that if was charity, he would not eat, and if it was said that it was a gift, he would stretch forth his hand." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2613)

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِالشَّيْءِ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ أَهَدِيَّةٌ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ؟ فَإِنْ قَالُوا هَدِيَّةٌ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ وَإِنْ قَالُواصَدَقَةٌ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ خُذُوا

[Machine] I heard Abu Hurairah say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when presented with food from someone other than its owners, would ask about it. If he was told it was a gift, he would eat it, and if he was told it was charity, he would say, "Eat." And he would not eat it.

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ أَكَلَ وَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ «كُلُوا» وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ

"If something was brought to him, the prophet would ask whether it was a gift or charity. If it was said that if was charity, he would not eat, and if it was said that it was a gift, he would stretch forth his hand." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2613)

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِشَيْءٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ أَهَدِيَّةٌ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ؟ فَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to ask if something brought to him was a gift or charity. If they said it was a gift, he would extend his hand to receive it. And if they said it was charity, he would say to his companions, "Take it and give it as charity." This hadith has a similar meaning to the one narrated by Muhammad ibn Ziyad from Abu Hurairah.

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِالشَّيْءِ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ أَهَدِيَّةٌ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ فَإِنْ قَالُوا هَدِيَّةٌ مَدَّ يَدَهُ وَإِنْ قَالُوا صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ خُذُوا وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ بِمَعْنَاهُ

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought food, he would ask if it was a gift or charity. If they said it was a gift, he would extend his hand to take it, and if they said it was charity, he would tell his companions to eat it. This was narrated by Ya'qub ibn Sufyan."

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ أَهَدِيَّةٌ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ؟ فَإِنْ قَالُوا هَدِيَّةٌ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ وَإِنْ قَالُوا صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ كُلُوا بَهْزٌ هُوَ ابْنُ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حَيْدَةَ الْقُشَيْرِيُّ أَحَدُ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ بْنِ هَوَازِنَ قَالَهُ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ

Whenever a meal was brought to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, 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. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2576)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ سَأَلَ أَهَدِيَّةٌ هُوَ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ؟ فَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ كُلُوا وَلَمْ يَأَكُلْ وَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ فَأَكَلَ مَعَهُمْ
