[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).

The Prophet ﷺ used to stay (for a period) in the house of Zainab bint Jahsh (one of the wives of the Prophet ) and he used to drink honey in her house. Hafsa and I decided that when the Prophet ﷺ entered upon either of us, she would say, "I smell in you the bad smell of Maghafir (a bad smelling raisin). Have you eaten Maghafir?" When he entered upon one of us, she said that to him. He replied (to her), "No, but I have drunk honey in the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, and I will never drink it again." Then the following verse was revealed: 'O Prophet ! Why do you ban (for you) that which Allah has made lawful for you?. ..(up to) If you two (wives of the Prophet ﷺ turn in repentance to Allah.' (66.1-4) The two were ʿAisha and Hafsa And also the Statement of Allah: 'And (Remember) when the Prophet ﷺ disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his wives!' (66.3) i.e., his saying, "But I have drunk honey." Hisham said: It also meant his saying, "I will not drink anymore, and I have taken an oath, so do not inform anybody of that."

"The Prophet used to stay with Zainab bint Jahsh and drink honey at her house. Hafsah and I agreed that if the Prophet came to either of us, she would say: 'I detect the smell of Maghafir (a nasty-smelling gum) on you; have you eaten Maghafir?' He came to one of them and she said that to him. He said: 'No, rather I drank honey at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, but I will never do it again.' Then the following was revealed: 'O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you.' 'If you two turn in repentance to Allah, (it will be better for you).' addressing 'Aishah and Hafsah; 'And (remember) when the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his wives.' refers to him saying: "No, rather I drank honey.""
