The Prophet had mercy upon the woman and took no action against her.
However, from that year up until the time he passed away, at the same
time each year, the Prophet would suffer on account of a tiny bit of poison
he had swallowed.
THE DONKEY THAT SPOKE:
When it came time to distribute the spoils of war, the Prophet received,
amongst other things, a black donkey whereupon he asked the donkey its
name. The donkey answered: "Yazid, son of Shihab. Allah created me from
a line of sixty donkeys, and none but prophets have ridden us. Of them only
I remain, and of prophets only you; I was waiting for you to ride me. I use to
belong to a Jew who gave me very little to eat or drink; he made me carry
heavy loads and beat me." The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him,
had mercy upon the poor animal and released it but it followed him back to
Medina. When the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, passed away,
the donkey was so upset that it threw itself in to Abu Al Hashim's well and
died.
