[Machine] He used to stay at Zainab bint Jahsh's and drink honey with her. So I and Hafsah advised each other that if the Prophet ﷺ comes to either of us, she should say, 'I notice the smell of the Maghafir from you. Have you eaten Maghafir?' When he came to one of us, she said that to him and he replied, 'No, but I drank honey at Zainab's and I will never drink it again.' Then the verses from Surah At-Tahrim, starting from "Why do you prohibit what Allah has made lawful" (66:1) to "If you two repent to Allah" (66:4), were revealed to Aisha and Hafsah. And when the Prophet had a secret conversation with one of his wives and then disclosed it, saying, "No, but I drank honey," (66:1-3).  

كَانَ يَمْكُثُ عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ ؓ وَيَشْرَبُ عِنْدَهَا عَسَلًا فَتَوَاصَيْتُ أَنَا وَحَفْصَةُ أَيَّتُنَا مَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلْتَقُلْ إِنِّي أَجِدُ مِنْكَ رِيحَ مَغَافِيرَ أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى إِحْدَاهُمَا فَقَالَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ وَلَنْ أَعُودَ لَهُ فَنَزَلَتْ {لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللهُ لَكَ} [التحريم 1] إِلَى {إِنْ تَتُوبَا إِلَى اللهِ} [التحريم 4] لِعَائِشَةَ وَحَفْصَةَ ؓ {وَإِذْ أَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ حَدِيثًا} [التحريم 3] لِقَوْلِهِ بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ was fond of honey and sweet edible things and (it was his habit) that after finishing the ʿAsr prayer he would visit his wives and stay with one of them at that time. Once he went to Hafsa, the daughter of ʿUmar and stayed with her more than usual. I got jealous and asked the reason for that. I was told that a lady of her folk had given her a skin filled with honey as a present, and that she made a syrup from it and gave it to the Prophet ﷺ to drink (and that was the reason for the delay). I said, "By Allah we will play a trick on him (to prevent him from doing so)." So I said to Saʿda bint Zamʿa "The Prophet ﷺ will approach you, and when he comes near you, say: 'Have you taken Maghafir (a bad-smelling gum)?' He will say, 'No.' Then say to him: 'Then what is this bad smell which i smell from you?' He will say to you, 'Hafsa made me drink honey syrup.' Then say: Perhaps the bees of that honey had sucked the juice of the tree of Al-ʿUrfut.' I shall also say the same. O you, Safiyya, say the same." Later Saʿda said, "By Allah, as soon as he (the Prophet ﷺ ) stood at the door, I was about to say to him what you had ordered me to say because I was afraid of you." So when the Prophet ﷺ came near Saʿda, she said to him, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Have you taken Maghafir?" He said, "No." She said. "Then what is this bad smell which I detect on you?" He said, "Hafsa made me drink honey syrup." She said, "Perhaps its bees had sucked the juice of Al-ʿUrfut tree." When he came to me, I also said the same, and when he went to Safiyya, she also said the same. And when the Prophet ﷺ again went to Hafsa, she said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall I give you more of that drink?" He said, "I am not in need of it." Saʿda said, "By Allah, we deprived him (of it)." I said to her, "Keep quiet." ' (Using translation from Bukhārī 5268)   

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحِبُّ الْعَسَلَ وَالْحَلْوَاءَ وَكَانَ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ دَخَلَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فَيَدْنُو مِنْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عُمَرَ ؓ فَاحْتَبَسَ عِنْدَهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا كَانَ يَحْتَبِسُ فَغِرْتُ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقِيلَ لِي أَهْدَتْ لَهَا امْرَأَةً مِنْ قَوْمِهَا عُكَّةَ عَسَلٍ فَسَقَتْهُ مِنْهَا شَرْبَةً فَقُلْتُ إِنَّا وَاللهِ لَنَحْتَالَنَّ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ لِسَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زَمْعَةَ إِنَّهُ سَيَدْنُو مِنْكِ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْكِ فَقُولِي لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَقُولُ لَكِ لَا فَقُولِي لَهُ مَا هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ الَّتِي أَجِدُ مِنْكَ؟ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَقُولُ لَكِ سَقَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ شَرْبَةً مِنْ عَسَلٍ فَقُولِي لَهُ جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ وَسَأَقُولُ ذَلِكَ وَقُولِي أَنْتِ يَا صَفِيَّةُ ذَاكَ قَالَ تَقُولُ سَوْدَةُ وَاللهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ قَامَ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُنَادِيَهُ بِمَا أَمَرْتِنِي فَرَقًا مِنْكِ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهَا قَالَتْ لَهُ سَوْدَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَتْ فَمَا هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ الَّتِي أَجِدُ مِنْكَ؟ قَالَ سَقَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ شَرْبَةَ عَسَلٍ فَقَالَتْ جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ فَلَمَّا دَارَ إِلِيَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا دَارَ إِلَى صَفِيَّةَ قَالَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ تَعْنِي فَلَمَّا دَارَ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا أَسْقِيكَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ قَالَ تَقُولُ لَهَا سَوْدَةُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ حَرَّمْنَاهُ قُلْتُ لَهَا اسْكُتِي  

[Machine] "Abdullah, O you who have believed, do not declare unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors. So eat and drink and be grateful to Allah. But if you are fearful of an attack to the right of you, then turn aside from it. Indeed, that is from the ways of Satan, and Allah is the most knowing."
