حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ يَهُودِيَّةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِشَاةٍ مَسْمُومَةٍ، فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا، فَجِيءَ بِهَا، فَقِيلَ: أَلاَ نَقْتُلُهَا؟ قَالَ: لاَ، قَالَ: فَمَا زِلْتُ أَعْرِفُهَا فِي لَهَوَاتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab narrated to us, saying: Khalid ibn al-Harith narrated to us, saying: Shu‘ba narrated to us, from Hisham ibn Zayd, from Anas, that a Jewish woman brought the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, a poisoned sheep, and he ate from it. She was then brought before him, and it was said, ‘Should we not kill her?’ He replied, ‘No.’ Anas said, ‘I continued to notice its effects in the back of the Messenger of Allah’s throat.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
فَمَا زِلْتُ أَعْرِفُهَا فِي لَهَوَاتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
The feminine pronoun refers back to the poisoned sheep or something understood from the poisoning; the text does not explicitly say ‘its effects.’ لَهَوَاتِ refers to the uvula/soft palate area at the back of the mouth.
Review the pronoun antecedent and whether ‘notice its effects’ adequately conveys أَعْرِفُهَا.
فَمَا زِلْتُ أَعْرِفُهَا فِي لَهَوَاتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
The supplied English witness ends after the Prophet’s refusal and omits Anas’s closing observation.
Compare this conclusion against a complete English witness, if available.
