A Jewish woman from the people of Khaybar poisoned a roasted sheep and then presented it as a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the foreleg and ate from it, and a group of his companions ate with him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them, "Lift your hands."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for the Jewish woman and summoned her, and he asked her, "Did you poison this sheep?"The Jewish woman said, "Who told you?"He replied, "This foreleg in my hand told me."She said, "Yes."He asked, "What led you to do this?"She said, "I thought to myself, if he is a prophet it will not harm him, and if he is not a prophet we will be rid of him."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ pardoned her and did not punish her. Some of his companions who had eaten from the sheep died. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was cupped on his shoulder because of what he had eaten from the sheep. Abu Hind cupped him with the horn and the blade, and he was a freed slave of Banu Bayadah from the Ansar.
حدثنا سليمان بن داود المهري حدثنا ابن وهب قال أخبرني يونس عن ابن شهاب قال كان
أن يهودية من أهل خيبر سمت شاة مصلية ثم أهدتها لرسول الله ﷺ فأخذ رسول الله ﷺ الذراع فأكل منها وأكل رهط من أصحابه معه ثم قال لهم رسول الله ﷺ ارفعوا أيديكم وأرسل رسول الله ﷺ إلى اليهودية فدعاها فقال لها أسممت هذه الشاة قالت اليهودية من أخبرك قال أخبرتني هذه في يدي للذراع قالت نعم قال فما أردت إلى ذلك قالت قلت إن كان نبيا فلن يضره وإن لم يكن نبيا استرحنا منه فعفا عنها رسول الله ﷺ ولم يعاقبها وتوفي بعض أصحابه الذين أكلوا من الشاة واحتجم رسول الله ﷺ على كاهله من أجل الذي أكل من الشاة حجمه أبو هند بالقرن والشفرة وهو مولى لبني بياضة من الأنصار
