a bite of the meat. Before he had chance to swallow it , the shoulder spoke

asked why she had poisoned the lamb, whereupon she asked who had
informed him that it had been poisoned; the Prophet replied: "The
shoulder."

had poisoned the lamb. However, she continued saying that it was on
account of her slain husband, father and uncle. She then told the Prophet
that she thought if he was a king she would be better off without him, but on
