اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ ، أَهَدِيَّةٌ أَمْ صَدَقَةٌ ؟ فَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ ، قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ : كُلُوا ، وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ ، وَإِنْ قِيلَ : هَدِيَّةٌ ، ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَكَلَ مَعَهُمْ " .
Narrated Abu Huraira: Whenever a meal was brought to Allah's Apostle, he would ask whether it was a gift or Sadaqa (something given in charity). If he was told that it was Sadaqa, he would tell his companions to eat it, but if it was a gift, he would hurry to share it with them.

Hadith Commentary:
They did not consume charity because it is not lawful (halal) for you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and for your family (Ahl al-Bayt), and there were many considerations (masalih) before you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) on account of which you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) declared the consumption of charity wealth (amwal al-sadaqat) unlawful (haram) for yourself and your family.

Hadith Commentary:
In this narration, the mention is of eating a gift, meaning that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to accept gifts. However, he did not eat charity and the like, because this was not permissible for him nor for his family and descendants.
There were many considerations and benefits before him due to which he declared the wealth of charity unlawful (haram) for himself and his family.

Benefits and Issues:
Regarding the woman who served the poisoned goat, two types of narrations have come in this chapter. In some narrations, it is mentioned that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forgave her, and in others, it is stated that she was killed in retribution (qisas). Mawlana Safiur Rahman Mubarakpuri, in "Minhat al-Mun'im Sharh Sahih Muslim," writes regarding this that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had initially forgiven this woman, but when Bishr ibn al-Bara' (radi Allahu anhu), who had participated in the meal with him, was martyred due to the poison, then afterwards the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had this woman killed in retribution (qisas).
2: Regarding charity (sadaqah), it has been stated that it is the impurity of people's wealth, which was not lawful for the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and his family. Likewise, besides the well-known deserving recipients, it is not permissible for the wealthy to take charity either. At the time of the Messenger of Allah's (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passing, the effect of the poison reappeared, and in this way, he attained the rank of martyrdom.
3: This hadith also indicates that the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) certainly did not possess knowledge of the unseen (ghayb), nor did his noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum). If they had known that the meat they were eating was poisoned, they would never have eaten it.
