If you were to eat it by the order of the Messenger of Allah...

If you were to eat it by the order of the Messenger of Allah -saww then he -saww will be responsible for your safety from it, but if you eat it without his -saww permission, then you will be responsible for your own wellbeing.’ As Ali -asws said this and Bara’a was chewing the morsel, Allah -azwj Gave speech to the grilled meat and it said: ‘O Messenger of Allah -saww !

Do not eat me, as poison has been mixed with me.’ Bara’a became engulfed in the ecstasy of death and stayed down until he was dead. The Messenger of Allah -saww said: ‘Call that woman over to me -saww ! They brought her over and he -saww said to her: ‘What did I -saww do that made you do this?’ She said: ‘You -saww have done a great injustice to me. You -saww have killed my father and my uncle and my brother and my husband and my son, and this is what you have done.

I said to myself, ‘If he -saww is a king then I shall take my revenge from him, and if he -saww is a Prophet as he -saww claims, and the victory over Mecca as he -saww has promised, Allah -azwj will not Let him -saww be poisoned and will Protect him -saww and it will have no effect on him -saww .’ The Messenger of Allah -saww said: ‘O you woman, you speak the truth!’ Then the Messenger of Allah -saww said to her: ‘Do not let the death of Bara’a affect you for Allah -azwj Tried him, and he preceded the Messenger of Allah -saww , and had he eaten from this by the order of the Messenger of Allah -saww , he would not have been affected by its poison.’ Then the Messenger of Allah -saww said; ‘Call for me so and so and so and so’, referring to the good companions of his -saww from whom were Salman -ar and Miqdad -ar and Ammar -ar and Abu Dharr -ar and Bilal -ar and other companions, until they arrived, Ali -asws was present with the Prophet -saww .

The Messenger of Allah -saww said: ‘Sit around it.’ The Messenger of Allah -saww extended his -saww hand towards the poisoned meat and blew on it and said: ‘In the Name of Allah -azwj the Beneficent the Merciful, In the Name of Allah -azwj the Healer, In the Name of Allah -azwj the Sufficient, In the Name of Allah -azwj the Bestower of health, In the Name of Allah -azwj by Which nothing can adversely affect, and no illness from the earth nor from the sky and He -azwj is the Hearing the Knowing.’ Then he -saww said: Eat in the Name of Allah -azwj !

The Messenger of Allah -saww ate his -saww fill from it and so did everyone else, then drank water on top of it.
