What is the authenticity of the report that there was a Jewish woman who served the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and secretly administered magic to him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of his passing, I read in books that the illness he was suffering from... some of the writers, I once did a study, they asked me to do a study on the Jewish religion, so I did a study on the Jewish religion. Some books say that there was a Jewish slave woman who was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and she was secretly administering poison... so I do not know the extent of the truth of this statement?
The Shaykh : No, this version has no basis, but it has a basis in another way, which is that a Jewish woman, who was not a servant or a slave, came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a roasted arm of meat. It appears that she had heard that the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) favorite meat was the arm, so she presented him with a roasted arm and secretly administered poison in it. The Messenger (peace be upon him) sat down to eat with some of the Companions, and they ate. I think one or two of them died. When the Messenger (peace be upon him) took the first bite and put it in his mouth, it was revealed to him that it was poisoned, so he spat it out and was saved from death by that. However, he complained of its effects for the rest of his life. In his death sickness, he said: "I am still feeling the effect of that poison in my throat" (peace be upon him). This is what is established in "Sahih al-Bukhari." Anything other than this is not true.
