[Machine] While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting with his companions, he stood up and entered. Zaid stood up and sat in the Prophet's gathering, and he began to talk to them about the Prophet ﷺ when meat was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a gift. The people said to Zaid, who was the youngest among them, "O Abu Sa'id, if you go to the Prophet ﷺ and read the greetings of peace to him and tell him that his companions say if you see fit to send us from this meat." Zaid went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have conveyed the message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Return to them, for they have eaten meat after you." Zaid came back and said, "I have already informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." The people said, "We did not eat any meat, and this incident has happened. Come with us to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so that we may ask him about this." So they went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have sent to you regarding the meat that was brought to you, and Zaid claimed that they have eaten meat, but by Allah, we have not eaten any meat." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is as if I see the greenness of Zaid's meat between your teeth." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, please forgive us." He then sought forgiveness for them.
