[Machine] When Allah opened Khaibar for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he killed those of them whom he killed, Zainab bint al-Harith, the Jewess, was taken captive. She was then brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he lodged her in the house of Ibn al-Harith, who was from the Banu Salamah tribe. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered as she was with him, she took hold of the forelocks of his hair and twisted them. He ﷺ thus sneezed (because of the pain), so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked her: “What made you do this?” She replied: “Messenger of Allah ﷺ ! They (i.e. the Jews) had told me that you love the forelocks of the sheep more than anything else.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then ordered: “Uncover your hand.” When she did so, he then said to her: “Touch it (i.e. the forelock).” So she touched it and said: “I have never seen anything softer than this.” Then he said: “Wash and cook it.” So they cooked it and he ate some of it. When he had eaten a morsel of it, he said: “You will never be able to make any good in it"; he meant that she had caused his death. So when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, her repentance could not save her.
لَمَّا فَتَحَ اللهُ ﷻ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَتَلَ مَنْ قَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ أَهْدَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ الْيَهُودِيَّةُ وَهِي بِنْتُ أَخِي مَرْحَبٍ شَاةً مَصْلِيَّةً وسَمَّتْهُ فِيهَا وَأَكْثَرَتْ فِي الْكَتِفِ وَالذِّرَاعِ حِينَ أُخْبِرَتْ أَنَّهَا أَحَبُّ أَعْضَاءِ الشَّاةِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَعْرُورٍ أَخُو بَنِي سَلِمَةَ قَدَّمَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَنَاوَلَ الْكَتِفَ وَالذِّرَاعَ فَانْتَهَسَ مِنْهَا وَتَنَاوَلَ بِشْرُ عَظْمًا آخَرَ فَانْتَهَسَ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا أَدْغَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَدْغَمَ بِشْرٌ مَا فِي فِيهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «ارْفَعُوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ فَإِنَّ كَتِفَ الشَّاةِ تُخْبِرُنِي أَنْ قَدْ بُغِيَتْ فِيهَا» فَقَالَ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ لَقَدْ وَجَدْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي أُكْلَتِي الَّتِي أَكَلْتُ فَإِنْ مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أَلْفُظَها إِلَّا أَنِّي كَرِهْت أَنْ أُنَغِّصَ طَعَامَكَ فَلَمَّا أَكَلْتَ مَا فِي فِيكَ لَمْ أَرْغَبْ بِنَفْسِي عَنْ نَفْسِكَ وَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ أَدْغَمْتُها وَفِيهَا بَغْيٌ فَلَمْ يَقُمْ بِشْرٌ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ حَتَّى عَادَ لَوْنُهُ كالطَّيْلَسانِ وماطَلَهُ وَجَعُهُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى كَانَ مَا يَتَحَوَّلُ إِلَّا مَا حُوِّلَ وَبَقِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ حَتَّى كَانَ وَجَعُهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ
