[Machine] A gazelle was gifted to us, so I presented it to the Prophet ﷺ , but he did not eat from it. So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, why don't you give it to the needy?" He replied, "We do not feed them from what we do not eat, and it is established from his practice to abstain from eating certain things. Then it is known that it is recommended not to feed the poor from what we do not eat. And Allah knows best, and success is through Allah."
أُهْدِيَ لَنَا ضَبٌّ فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا تُطْعِمُهُ السُّؤَّالَ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّا لَا نُطْعِمُهُمْ مِمَّا لَا نَأْكُلُ وَهُوَ إِنْ ثَبَتَ فِي مَعْنَى مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنَ امْتِنَاعِهِ مِنْ أَكْلِهِ ثُمَّ فِيهِ أَنَّهُ اسْتَحَبَّ أَنْ لَا يُطْعِمَ الْمَسَاكِينَ مِمَّا لَا يَأْكُلُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
