Sahih al-Bukhari 5267

Hadith text

Narrated `Ubaid bin `Umar:I heard `Aisha saying, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to stay for a long while with Zanab bint Jahsh and drink honey at her house. So Hafsa and I decided that if the Prophet (ﷺ) came to anyone of us, she should say him, "I detect the smell of Maghafir (a nasty smelling gum) in you. Have you eaten Maghafir?' " So the Prophet (ﷺ) visited one of them and she said to him similarly. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Never mind, I have taken some honey at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, but I shall never drink of it anymore." So there was revealed: 'O Prophet ! Why do you ban (for you) that which Allah has made lawful for you . . . If you two (wives of Prophet) turn in repentance to Allah,' (66.1-4) addressing Aisha and Hafsa. 'When the Prophet (ﷺ) disclosed a matter in confidence to some of his wives.' (66.3) namely his saying: But I have taken some honey

Ubaid bin Umar bataate hain: Maine Aisha ko kehte suna, 'Nabi (SAW) Zainab bint Jahsh ke ghar kaafi der rukte the aur wahaan shehad piya karte the. To Hafsa aur maine tay kiya ke agar Nabi (SAW) hum mein se kisi ke paas aayein, to wo unse kahe, "Mujhe aapse Maghaafir (ek badbudaar gond) ki khushbu aa rahi hai. Kya aapne Maghaafir khaayi hai?"' To Nabi (SAW) unmein se ek ke paas gaye aur unhone bhi yahi kaha. Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Koi baat nahi, maine Zainab bint Jahsh ke ghar thodi shehad li thi, magar main isse phir kabhi nahi piyunga.' To ye naazil hui: 'Aye Nabi! Aap us cheez ko apne liye kyun haraam karte hain jo Allah ne aapke liye halaal ki hai...Agar tum dono (Nabi ki azwaaj) Allah ki taraf tauba karo...' (66:1-4) jo Aisha aur Hafsa ko khitaab karti hai. 'Jab Nabi ne apni kuch biwiyon se ek baat raaz mein kahi' (66:3) - yaani unka ye kehna: 'Magar maine thodi shehad li thi.'
