Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) never refused the invitation of anyone,
no matter who they were, so when Shalom's wife invited him and his Companions to a
meal the invitation was graciously accepted. In preparation for the meal Shalom's wife
had a lamb slaughtered, then, as she prepared it, poisoned it, paying particular attention
to its shoulders as she had heard that the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) like that
part of meat.
When the lamb was ready she set it down in front of the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa

(salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) had already swallowed a piece of the meat and was
affected by the poison.
