Narrated Abu Huraira:When Khaibar was conquered, a roasted poisoned sheep was presented to the Prophet (ﷺ) as a gift (by the Jews). The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered, "Let all the Jews who have been here, be assembled before me." The Jews were collected and the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to them), "I am going to ask you a question. Will you tell the truth?" They said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Who is your father?" They replied, "So-and-so." He said, "You have told a lie; your father is so-and-so." They said, "You are right." He said, "Will you now tell me the truth, if I ask you about something?" They replied, "Yes, O Abu Al-Qasim; and if we should tell a lie, you can realize our lie as you have done regarding our father." On that he asked, "Who are the people of the (Hell) Fire?" They said, "We shall remain in the (Hell) Fire for a short period, and after that you will replace us." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You may be cursed and humiliated in it! By Allah, we shall never replace you in it." Then he asked, "Will you now tell me the truth if I ask you a question?" They said, "Yes, O Abu Al-Qasim." He asked, "Have you poisoned this sheep?" They said, "Yes." He asked, "What made you do so?" They said, "We wanted to know if you were a liar in which case we would get rid of you, and if you are a prophet then the poison would not harm you

حدثنا عبد الله بن يوسف، حدثنا الليث، قال حدثني سعيد، عن ابي هريرة رضى الله عنه قال لما فتحت خيبر اهديت للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم شاة فيها سم فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " اجمعوا الى من كان ها هنا من يهود ". فجمعوا له فقال " اني سايلكم عن شىء فهل انتم صادقي عنه ". فقالوا نعم. قال لهم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " من ابوكم ". قالوا فلان. فقال " كذبتم، بل ابوكم فلان ". قالوا صدقت. قال " فهل انتم صادقي عن شىء ان سالت عنه " فقالوا نعم يا ابا القاسم، وان كذبنا عرفت كذبنا كما عرفته في ابينا. فقال لهم " من اهل النار ". قالوا نكون فيها يسيرا ثم تخلفونا فيها. فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " اخسيوا فيها، والله لا نخلفكم فيها ابدا ثم قال هل انتم صادقي عن شىء ان سالتكم عنه ". فقالوا نعم يا ابا القاسم. قال " هل جعلتم في هذه الشاة سما ". قالوا نعم. قال " ما حملكم على ذلك ". قالوا اردنا ان كنت كاذبا نستريح، وان كنت نبيا لم يضرك
