The main account comes from Hadith collections, particularly Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, which report that during the Battle of Khaybar, a Jewish woman named Zaynab bint al-Harith served poisoned food (often a lamb) to the Prophet. The Prophet reportedly tasted it, realized it was poisoned, and stopped eating, but some poison still entered his body. Later, it is said he suffered from the effects of this poison for years, and some sources link it to his eventual death.
Sahih al‑Bukhari (Hadith 4428) is typically translated as:
Narrated ʿAisha:
The Prophet (ﷺ), in his ailment in which he died, used to say,
*“O ʿAisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaybar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison.”
