أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ أَنبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو اللَّيْثِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ الْهَدِيَّةَ وَلَا يَقْبَلُ الصَّدَقَةَ فَأَهْدَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ يَهُودِ خَيْبَرَ شَاةً مَصْلِيَّةً فَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهَا وَتَنَاوَلَ مِنْهَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ تُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّهَا مَسْمُومَةٌ» فَمَاتَ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْبَرَاءِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا حَمَلَكِ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتِ؟» فَقَالَتْ إِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيًّا لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ شَيْءٌ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ مَلِكًا أَرَحْتُ النَّاسَ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ فِي مَرَضِهِ «مَا زِلْتُ مِنَ الْأُكْلَةِ الَّتِي أَكَلْتُ بِخَيْبَرَ فَهَذَا أَوَانُ انْقِطَاعِ أَبْهَرِي»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to accept gifts but not charity. A Jewish woman of Khaybar gifted him a roasted sheep. He took some of it, and Bishr b. al-Bara' took some. Then the Prophet ﷺ raised his hand and said, 'This informs me that it is poisoned.' Bishr b. al-Bara' died. The Prophet ﷺ sent to her, asking, 'What made you do what you did?' She said, 'If you are a prophet, nothing will harm you; if you are a king, I have relieved the people of you.' During his illness he said, 'I have never ceased to feel the effects of the morsel I ate at Khaybar. This is the time when my aorta is severed.'
