An Ansari companion narrates: We went out with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, for a funeral. When we returned, a caller from among the Quraysh women met us and said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Such-and-such woman is inviting you and your companions for a meal. So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, went and we also accompanied him, and (upon entering the house) we sat in such a manner as children sit before their fathers. Then the food was brought, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, placed his hand on the food, and the people did likewise. But the people realized that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, wanted to chew a morsel, but he was unable to do so. So they withdrew their hands and became inattentive to us. Then, when they remembered, they held our hands, then each man reached for his morsel and it fell to the ground. Then they withheld their hands and began to watch what the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would do. So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, threw away that morsel and said: It seems to me that this is the meat of a goat that was taken without the owner's permission. At this, the inviting woman said: O Messenger of Allah! My intention was to gather you and your companions for a meal, so I sent a man to Baqi', but there was no goat available for sale. Meanwhile, 'Amir bin Abi Waqqas had bought a goat from Baqi' yesterday, so I sent a message to him to buy a goat for me from Baqi', but none was found. Then I sent a message to him to send me the goat he had bought, but my messenger could not find him, but his family gave the goat to my messenger. Upon hearing this detail, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Feed this food to the prisoners.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and his companions passed by a woman, and she slaughtered a goat for them and prepared food. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) returned, the woman said: We have prepared food for you, so please come inside and eat. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and his companions went inside. The noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would not begin eating until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) started eating. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) took a morsel, but he could not swallow it. He said: This goat was slaughtered without the owner's permission. The woman said: O Prophet of Allah! We and the family of Banu Sa'd have informal relations with each other (and do not feel any aversion towards one another), so we keep taking from them and they from us.
