[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to eat gifts and not accept charity. A woman from the Jews of Khaybar presented him with a roasted sheep as a gift, so he ate from it and also gave some to Bishr bin al-Bara'ah. Then the Prophet ﷺ raised his hand and said, "This sheep informs me that it is poisoned." Bishr bin al-Bara'ah died from the poison. The Prophet ﷺ sent a message to the woman saying, "What made you do what you did?" She replied, "If you are a prophet, it would not harm you, and if you are a king, I would save the people from you." In his illness, the Prophet ﷺ said, "I still feel the effects of the food I ate in Khaybar. This is the time when my aorta will be severed."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ الْهَدِيَّةَ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ الصَّدَقَةَ فَأَهْدَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ يَهُودِ خَيْبَرَ شَاةً مَصْلِيَّةً فَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهَا وَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ تُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّهَا مَسْمُومَةٌ» فَمَاتَ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا حَمَلَكِ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتِ؟» فَقَالَتْ إِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيًّا لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ شَيْءٌ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ مَلِكًا أَرَحْتُ النَّاسَ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ فِي مَرَضِهِ «مَا زِلْتُ مِنَ الْأُكْلَةِ الَّتِي أَكَلْتُ بِخَيْبَرَ فَهَذَا أَوَانُ انْقِطَاعِ أَبْهَرِي»  

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 إلى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الذِّرَاعَ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا وَأَكَلَ الرَّهْطُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «ارْفَعُوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ» وَأَرْسَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَهُودِيَّةِ فَدَعَاهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا «أَسَمَمْتِ هَذِهِ الشَّاةَ؟» فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ وَمَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْنِي هَذِهِ فِي يَدِي لِلذِّرَاعِ فقالتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَمَاذَا أَرَدْتِ إِلَى ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَتْ قُلْتُ إِنْ كَانَ نَبِيًّا لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَبِيًّا اسْتَرَحْنَا مِنْهُ فَعَفَا عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يُعَاقِبْهَا وَتُوُفِّيَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ الَّذِينَ أَكَلُوا مِنَ الشَّاةِ وَاحْتَجَمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى كَاهِلِهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ الَّذِي أَكَلَ مِنَ الشَّاةِ حَجَمَهُ أَبُو هِنْدَ مَوْلَى بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ بِالْقَرْنِ وَالشَّفْرَةِ وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي ثُمَامَةَ وَهُمْ حَيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ  

When Khaibar was conquered, a roasted poisoned sheep was presented to the Prophet ﷺ as a gift (by the Jews). The Prophet ﷺ ordered, "Let all the Jews who have been here, be assembled before me." The Jews were collected and the Prophet ﷺ said (to them), "I am going to ask you a question. Will you tell the truth?" They said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who is your father?" They replied, "So-and-so." He said, "You have told a lie; your father is so-and-so." They said, "You are right." He said, "Will you now tell me the truth, if I ask you about something?" They replied, "Yes, O Abu Al-Qasim; and if we should tell a lie, you can realize our lie as you have done regarding our father." On that he asked, "Who are the people of the (Hell) Fire?" They said, "We shall remain in the (Hell) Fire for a short period, and after that you will replace us." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You may be cursed and humiliated in it! By Allah, we shall never replace you in it." Then he asked, "Will you now tell me the truth if I ask you a question?" They said, "Yes, O Abu Al-Qasim." He asked, "Have you poisoned this sheep?" They said, "Yes." He asked, "What made you do so?" They said, "We wanted to know if you were a liar in which case we would get rid of you, and if you are a prophet then the poison would not harm you." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3169)  

لَمَّا فُتِحَتْ خَيْبَرُ أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَاةٌ فِيهَا سُمٌّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اجْمَعُوا لِي مَنْ كَانَ هاهُنا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ» فَجُمِعُوا لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي سَائِلُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ صَادِقِيَّ عَنْهُ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَبُوكُمْ؟» قَالُوا أَبُونَا فُلَانٌ فَقَالَ لهم رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَذَبْتُمْ بَلْ أَبُوكُمْ فُلَانٌ» قَالُوا صَدَقْتَ وَبَرَرْتَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «هَلْ أَنْتُمْ صَادِقِيَّ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِنْ سَأَلْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ؟» فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ وَإِنْ كَذَبْنَاكَ عَرَفْتَ كَذِبَنَا كَمَا عرفْتَهُ فِي أَبِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَمَنْ أَهْلُ النَّارِ؟» فَقَالُوا نَكُونُ فِيهَا يَسِيرًا ثُمَّ تَخْلُفُونَنَا فِيهَا فقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اخْسَؤُوا فِيهَا وَاللَّهِ لَا نَخْلُفُكُمْ فِيهَا أَبَدًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ «هَلْ أَنْتُمْ صَادِقِيَّ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِنْ سَأَلْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «هَلْ جَعَلْتُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الشَّاةِ سُمًّا؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ «مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟» قَالُوا أَرَدْنَا إِنْ كُنْتَ كَاذِبًا أَنْ نَسْتَرِيحَ مِنْكَ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيًّا لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ
