“Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ slaughtered a sheep, he would say: ‘Send some to Khadījah’s friends.’”

It was narrated by al-Bukhārī (3816, 3818, and 6004), Muslim (7/134)—whose wording is cited here—al-Tirmidhī (2018 and 3885), Aḥmad (6/58, 202, and 279), and al-Ṭabarānī in al-Kabīr (23/11/15), through various routes from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, from his father, from her.

So she came to him, and then
