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." '

Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to like sweets and also used to like honey, and whenever he finished the ʿAsr prayer, he used to visit his wives and stay with them. Once he visited Hafsa and remained with her longer than the period he used to stay, so I enquired about it. It was said to me, "A woman from her tribe gave her a leather skin containing honey as a present, and she gave some of it to Messenger of Allah ﷺ to drink." I said, "By Allah, we will play a trick on him." So I mentioned the story to Sauda (the wife of the Prophet) and said to her, "When he enters upon you, he will come near to you whereupon you should say to him, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Have you eaten Maghafir?' He will say, 'No.' Then you say to him, 'What is this bad smell? ' And it would be very hard on Messenger of Allah ﷺ that a bad smell should be found on his body. He will say, 'Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.' Then you should say to him, 'Its bees must have sucked from the Al-ʿUrfut (a foul smelling flower).' I too, will tell him the same. And you, O Saifya, say the same." So when the Prophet ﷺ entered upon Sauda (the following happened). Sauda said, "By Him except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, I was about to say to him what you had told me to say while he was still at the gate because of fear from you. But when Allah 's Apostle came near to me, I said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Have you eaten Maghafir?' He replied, 'No.' I said, 'What about this smell?' He said, 'Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.' I said, 'Its bees must have sucked Al-ʿUrfut.' " When he entered upon me, I told him the same as that, and when he entered upon Safiya, she too told him the same. So when he visited Hafsa again, she said to him, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall I give you a drink of it (honey)?" He said, "I have no desire for it." Sauda said, Subhan Allah! We have deprived him of it (honey)." I said to her, "Be quiet!"

A woman of her family had sent her a small vessel of honey as a gift, and she gave to Messenger of Allah ﷺ from that a drink. I said: By Allah, we would also contrive a device for him. I mentioned that to Sauda, and said: When he (Allah's Apostle) would visit you and draw close to you, say to him: Messenger of Allah, have you taken maghafir? And he would'say to you: No. Then say to him: What is this odour? And Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt it very much that unpleasant odour should emit from him. So he would say to you: Hafsa has given me a drink of honey. Then you should say to him: The honey-bees might have sucked 'Urfut, and I would also say the same to him and. Safiyya, you should also say this. So when he (the Holy Prophet) came to Sauda, she said: By Him besides whom there is no god, it was under compulsion that I had decided to state that which you told me when he would be at a little distance at the door. So when Messenger of Allah ﷺ came near, she said: Messenger of Allah, did you eat Maghafir? He said: No. She (again) said: Then what is this odour? He said: Hafsa gave me honey to drink. She said: The honey-bee might have sucked 'Urfut. When he came to me I told him like this. He then visited Safiyya and she also said to him like this. When he (again) visited Hafsa, she said: Messenger of Allah, should I not give you that (drink)? He said: I do not need that. Sauda said: Hallowed be Allah, by Him we have (contrived) to make that (honey) unlawful for him. I said to her: Keep quiet.
