Hadith 3487

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ، فَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ أَكَلَ وَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ: ((كُلُوا)) وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) had this practice: when food was brought to him from somewhere other than his household, he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would inquire about it. If it was a gift, he would eat it, and if it was charity, he would say: "You eat it." He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would not eat it himself.
