حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ الْجُمَحِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ ، فَإِنْ قِيلَ هَدِيَّةٌ أَكَلَ مِنْهَا ، وَإِنْ قِيلَ صَدَقَةٌ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا " .
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: Whenever the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) was presented with food, he asked about it. If he was told that it was a gift, he ate out of that, and if he was told that it was a sadaqah he did not eat out of that.
