Forgiving

Seven years after the Hijrah Khaibar war began. Khaibar was a Jews
village. The war couldn’t be prevented from happening because the Jews
broke the peace agreement. Prophet Muhammad SAW went to the war with
his 1400 companions. It was a tough war because the Jews built strong
fortresses. It was very hard to break the fortresses and the Jews were hard
to be conquered.

Finally, Prophet Muhammad SAW, the leader of the Moslem troops was
succeeded to end the war. After winning the battle, the Prophet took a rest.
A Jews woman, Zainab bin Al Harits gave him a present. She gave a lamb
and made it into a rolled lamb.

“Which part of the lamb that’s Prophet Muhammad SAW like the most?”
asked the woman to the companions.
“He loves thigh the most,” answered one of the companions.

Apparently, Zainab had a bed intention. She wanted revenge because her
husband, Salam Ibn Misykam died in the battle field. Zainab poured the
poisonous powder onto the meat especially on the thigh. Later on, the
rolled lamb was served to Prophet Muhammad SAW and his companions.

After an exhausting war, everybody was so excited to eat the rolled lamb.
The Prophet took the meat of the thigh and ate it. But only seconds after
chewing it, he spued the meat out.

“What’s going on Prophet? Why did you spewed the meat out?” asked the
companions.

“Don’t eat the meat!” cried Prophet Muhammad SAW to prevent his
companions from eating the lamb, but it was too late. One of the Prophet’s
companions, Bisyr Ibn Al Barra had swallowed his food then he died.
