English translation

[2491] 175 - (1077) It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that when food was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, he would ask about it. If it was said that it was a gift, he would eat from it, but if it was said that it was charity, he would not eat from it.

Arabic text

175 - (1077) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ الْجُمَحِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ، سَأَلَ عَنْهُ، فَإِنْ قِيلَ: هَدِيَّةٌ، أَكَلَ مِنْهَا، وَإِنْ قِيلَ: صَدَقَةٌ، لَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا "
