The poisoned lamb:
A Jew, by the name of Salaam, had been slain during the Battle of Khybar
and his wife sought to take revenge. She knew that Prophet Muhammad,
praise and veneration be upon him, never refused the invitation of anyone,
so she invited him and his companions to a meal.
In preparation for the meal, Salaam's wife slaughtered a lamb, then, as she
prepared it, smeared it with poison, paying particular attention to its
shoulders, as she had heard that the Prophet, praise and veneration be
upon him, liked that part of the meat.
When the lamb was ready she set it down in front of the Prophet who took
a bite of the poisoned meat. Before he had chance to swallow it, the
shoulder spoke informing him that it had been poisoned whereupon he spat
it out and told his companions not to eat it. However, Bishr, Bara's son,
who was sitting next to the Prophet, praise and veneration be upon him,
had already swallowed a piece of the meat and died almost instantly.
