Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 4645

«كان إذا أتي بطعام سأل عنه أهدية أم صدقة؟ فإن قيل: صدقة قال لأصحابه:» كلوا [ولم يأكل وإن قيل: هدية ضرب بيده فأكل معهم]
It was the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
"When food was brought to him (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask whether it was a gift or charity. If it was said that it was charity, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say to his Companions: 'You eat,' and he himself would not eat. And if it was said that it was a gift, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would stretch out his hand and eat with them."
