The reciter: Abu Kuraib, Muhammad ibn al-'Ala, and Harun ibn 'Abd Allah narrated to us, saying: Abu Asamah narrated to us from Hisham from his father from 'A'ishah, who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to love sweets and honey. So whenever he prayed the 'Asr prayer, he would go around his wives and approach them. He entered upon Hafsa and stayed with her longer than he usually stayed. I asked about that, and it was said to me: A woman from her people had gifted her a jar of honey, and she gave the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a drink from it. I said: By Allah, we will certainly trick him. I mentioned that to Sawdah and said: When he enters upon you, he will approach you, so say to him: "O Messenger of Allah, did you eat *mughafir*?" He will say to you: "No." Then say to him: "What is this smell?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be very sensitive about a smell being found from him. He will say to you: "Hafsa gave me a drink of honey." Then say to him: "Its bees have fed on *'urfut*." And I will say that to him, and you, O Safiyyah, say it to him as well. When he entered upon Sawdah, she said: Sawdah said: By Him whom there is no god but He, I almost started with what you told me to say, and he was at the door, out of fear of you. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) approached, she said: "O Messenger of Allah, did you eat *mughafir*?" He said: "No." She said: "What is this smell?" He said: "Hafsa gave me a drink of honey." She said: "Its bees have fed on *'urfut*." When he entered upon me, I said to him the same. Then he entered upon Safiyyah, and she said the same. When he entered upon Hafsa, she said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall I not give you a drink of it?" He said: "I have no need for it." She said: Sawdah said: Glory be to Allah, by Allah, we have forbidden it. She said: I said to her: Be silent.
كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يحب الحلواء والعسل فكان إذا صلى العصر دار على نسائه فيدنو منهن فدخل على حفصة فاحتبس عندها أكثر مما كان يحتبس فسألت عن ذلك فقيل لي أهدت لها امرأة من قومها عكة من عسل فسقت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم منه شربة فقلت أما والله لنحتالن له فذكرت ذلك لسودة وقلت إذا دخل عليك فإنه سيدنو منك فقولي له يا رسول الله أكلت مغافير فإنه سيقول لك لا، فقولي له ما هذه الريح وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يشتد عليه أن يوجد منه الريح، فإنه سيقول لك سقتني حفصة شربة عسل فقولي له جرست نحله العرفط، وسأقول ذلك له وقوليه أنت يا صفية فلما دخل على سودة قالت تقول سودة والذي لا إله إلا هو لقد كدت أن أبادئه بالذي قلتي لي وإنه لعلى الباب فرقا منك فلما دنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قالت يا رسول الله أكلت مغافير؟ قال: لا، قالت: فما هذه الريح؟ قال: سقتني حفصة شربة عسل قالت: جرست نحله العرفط، فلما دخل علي قلت له مثل ذلك ثم دخل على صفية فقالت بمثل ذلك فلما دخل على حفصة قالت يا رسول الله ألا أسقيك منه؟ قال: لا حاجة لي به، قالت تقول سودة سبحان الله والله لقد حرمناه، قالت: قلت لها اسكتي
