English translation

4508. It was narrated from Anas bin Mālik that a Jewish woman brought a poisoned sheep (meat) to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he ate some of it. She was brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he asked her about that, and she said: "I wanted to kill you." He said: "Allāh would never give you the power to do that," or he said "(Allāh would never give you that power) over me." They said: "Should we not kill her?" He said: "No." And I always found it (the effect of that poison) in the uvula of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.(Sahih)

4508 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً يَهُودِيَّةً أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَاةٍ مَسْمُومَةٍ: فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا، فَجِيءَ بِهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَتْ: أَرَدْتُ لِأَقْتُلَكَ، فَقَالَ: «مَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُسَلِّطَكِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ» أَوْ قَالَ: «عَلَيَّ» فَقَالُوا: أَلَا نَقْتُلُهَا؟ قَالَ: «لَا» فَمَا زِلْتُ أَعْرِفُهَا فِي لَهَوَاتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
