Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Whenever food was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from somewhere other than his own household, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask about it. If he was told that it was a gift, he would eat it; and if it was said that it was charity (sadaqah), he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "(You people) eat!" and he (peace and blessings be upon him) himself would not eat it.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
