٥١۔٢٨ باب قَبُولِ الْهَدِيَّةِ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

[Machine] And Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ibrahim ﷺ migrated with Sarah and entered a town where there was a king or a tyrant. He said, 'Give her in marriage'." And a sheep was presented to the Prophet (ﷺ) which had poison in it. And Abu Humaid presented to the Prophet (ﷺ) a she-camel, a white one, and he covered her with a blanket, and he wrote to him with their ink.

وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: «هَاجَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ- عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ- بِسَارَةَ فَدَخَلَ قَرْيَةً فِيهَا مَلِكٌ أَوْ جَبَّارٌ فَقَالَ أَعْطُوهَا آجَرَ». وَأُهْدِيَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ شَاةٌ فِيهَا سُمٌّ. وَقَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ أَهْدَى مَلِكُ أَيْلَةَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَغْلَةً بَيْضَاءَ، وَكَسَاهُ بُرْدًا، وَكَتَبَ لَهُ بِبَحْرِهِمْ.

A Jubba (i.e. cloak) made of thick silken cloth was presented to the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ used to forbid people to wear silk. So, the people were pleased to see it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "By Him in Whose Hands Muhammad's soul is, the handkerchiefs of Saʿd bin Muʿadh in Paradise are better than this." Anas added, "The present was sent to the Prophet ﷺ by Ukaidir (a Christian) from Dauma."

أُهْدِيَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ جُبَّةُ سُنْدُسٍ وَكَانَ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْحَرِيرِ فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ إِنَّ أُكَيْدِرَ دُومَةَ أَهْدَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

A Jewess brought a poisoned (cooked) sheep for the Prophet ﷺ who ate from it. She was brought to the Prophet and he was asked, "Shall we kill her?" He said, "No." I continued to see the effect of the poison on the palate of the mouth of Messenger of Allah ﷺ .

أَنَّ يَهُودِيَّةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِشَاةٍ مَسْمُومَةٍ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا فَجِيءَ بِهَا فَقِيلَ أَلاَ نَقْتُلُهَا قَالَ لاَ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَعْرِفُهَا فِي لَهَوَاتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ

We were one-hundred and thirty persons accompanying the Prophet ﷺ who asked us whether anyone of us had food. There was a man who had about a Sa of wheat which was mixed with water then. A very tall pagan came driving sheep. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Will you sell us (a sheep) or give it as a present?" He said, "I will sell you (a sheep)." The Prophet ﷺ bought a sheep and it was slaughtered. The Prophet ordered that its liver and other Abdominal organs be roasted. By Allah, the Prophet ﷺ gave every person of the one-hundred-and-thirty a piece of that; he gave all those of them who were present; and kept the shares of those who were absent. The Prophet ﷺ then put its meat in two huge basins and all of them ate to their fill, and even then more food was left in the two basins which were carried on the camel (or said something like it).

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثَلاَثِينَ وَمِائَةً فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَلْ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ طَعَامٌ فَإِذَا مَعَ رَجُلٍ صَاعٌ مِنْ طَعَامٍ أَوْ نَحْوُهُ فَعُجِنَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مُشْرِكٌ مُشْعَانٌّ طَوِيلٌ بِغَنَمٍ يَسُوقُهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْعًا أَمْ عَطِيَّةً أَوْ قَالَ أَمْ هِبَةً قَالَ لاَ بَلْ بَيْعٌ فَاشْتَرَى مِنْهُ شَاةً فَصُنِعَتْ وَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِسَوَادِ الْبَطْنِ أَنْ يُشْوَى وَايْمُ اللَّهِ مَا فِي الثَّلاَثِينَ وَالْمِائَةِ إِلاَّ قَدْ حَزَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَهُ حُزَّةً مِنْ سَوَادِ بَطْنِهَا إِنْ كَانَ شَاهِدًا أَعْطَاهَا إِيَّاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ غَائِبًا خَبَأَ لَهُ فَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا قَصْعَتَيْنِ فَأَكَلُوا أَجْمَعُونَ وَشَبِعْنَا فَفَضَلَتِ الْقَصْعَتَانِ فَحَمَلْنَاهُ عَلَى الْبَعِيرِ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ
