Musnad Ahmad 8014 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ ، فَإِنْ قِيلَ : هَدِيَّةٌ ، أَكَلَ ، وَإِنْ قِيلَ : صَدَقَةٌ ، قَالَ : " كُلُوا " ، وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that when food would come to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from somewhere other than his own house, he (peace be upon him) would inquire about it. If it was said that it was a gift, he (peace be upon him) would eat from it, and if it was said that it was charity, he (peace be upon him) would tell the people to eat it and would not eat it himself.
