Can it be derived from the hadith (that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was brought food and asked about it, whether it was a gift or charity, and if it was charity he refrained from it, and if it was a gift he ate it)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says: Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated in his Sahih, through his chain of narration, from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: , The question: Do we derive from the hadith the permissibility of asking about the meat presented to a person whether it is imported or not?
We do not derive that from it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had precautions regarding his food and drink. For this reason, when he found a date in the street, he said:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 9:439, and we are not required to refrain from it for fear that it is from charity.
As for what you mentioned regarding our asking whether it is imported or not, in al-Bukhari from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her):, so this is the one that resembles the issue of imported meat.
As for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he has his precaution, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, so he is more cautious about eating than we are. It is clear.
The questioner : Yes.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when he was brought food, would ask about it, whether it was a gift or charity. If it was said: charity, he would say to his companions, “Eat,” and he would not eat. And if it was said: a gift, he would strike with his hand (peace and blessings be upon him) and eat with them.
كان رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلّم إذا أُتي بطعام سأل عنه أهديّة أم صدقة، فإن قيل: صدقة قال لأصحابه كلوا ولم يأكل، وإن قيل هديّة ضرب بيده صلّى الله عليه وسلّم وأكل معهمWe do not derive that from it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had precautions regarding his food and drink. For this reason, when he found a date in the street, he said:
If it were not that I fear it may be from charity, I would have eaten it.
لولا أنّي أخشى أن تكون من الصّدقة لأكلتهاAs for what you mentioned regarding our asking whether it is imported or not, in al-Bukhari from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her):
That some people said: O Messenger of Allah, some people bring us meat, and we do not know whether they mentioned the name of Allah over it or not? He said: “You mention the name of Allah and eat,” and they were recent converts from disbelief.
أنّ قوماً قالوا: يا رسول الله إنّ قومًا يأتوننا باللّحم لا ندري أذكروا اسم الله عليه أم لا؟ فقال: سمّوا أنتم وكلوا، وكانوا حديثي عهد بكفرAs for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he has his precaution, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, so he is more cautious about eating than we are. It is clear.
The questioner : Yes.
