[Machine] "O Prophet, why do you forbid that which Allah has made lawful for you?" [Surah At-Tahrim (66), verse 1] until His statement, "And He is the All-Knowing, the Wise" [Surah At-Tahrim (66), verse 2]. It is narrated that Hafsah and Aisha, may Allah be pleased with them, were close friends and they were the wives of the Prophet ﷺ . So Hafsah went to her father's house to speak with him, and the Prophet ﷺ sent to his wife's maid and she stayed with him in Hafsah's house. It was the day on which Aisha was supposed to come, so Hafsah returned and found her in her house. She began waiting for her to leave and became extremely jealous. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then brought out his wife's maid and Hafsah entered and said, "I have seen who was with you. By Allah, you have disappointed me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Allah, I will please you and I am happy with you secretly. So, keep it to yourself." She said, "I bear witness that my secret is considered forbidden for me for your satisfaction." Hafsah and Aisha would conceal their envy from the Prophet's other wives. Hafsah then went secretly to her and gave her the news that Muhammad ﷺ has forbidden his daughter. When she informed him of the Prophet's secret, Allah revealed to His Prophet ﷺ and sent down upon His Messenger ﷺ the verse: "O Prophet, why do you forbid that which Allah has made lawful for you?" [Surah At-Tahrim (66), verse 1] until the end of the verse.
