The answer

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ate from a poisoned sheep presented to him by a Jewish woman in Khaybar. The foreleg [of the sheep] informed him that it was poisoned, so he stopped eating. He continued to feel the pain of that poison until the illness from which he passed away. He said: (O Aisha, I still feel the pain from the food I ate in Khaybar, and now I feel my aorta being severed by that poison), which confirms the effect of the poison on his body, peace and blessings be upon him.
