Aishah said that the prophet ﷺ used to stay with Zainab, daughter of Jahsh, and drink honey. I and Hafsah counseled each other that if the Prophet ﷺ enters upon any of us, she must say: I find the smell of gum (maghafir) from you. He then entered upon one of them; she said that to him. Thereupon he said: No, I drank honey at (the house of) Zainab daughter of jahsh, and I will not do it again. Then the following verse came down: ’’O Prophet!why holdest thou to be forbidden that which Allah has made lawful to thee ? ‘’Thou seekest. . . If you two turn in repentance to Allah ‘’ refers to Hafsah and Aishah, and the verse: ‘’When the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his consorts’’ refers to the statements of the Prophet ﷺ disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his consorts’’ refers to the statement of the Prophet ﷺ: No, I drank honey.

Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ liked sweet meats and honey. The narrator then mentioned a part of the tradition mentioned above. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt it hard on him to find smell from him. In this tradition saudah said: but you ate gum ? He said: No, I drank honey. Hafsah gave it to me to drank. I said: Its bees ate ‘urfut. Abu Dawud said: Maghafir is a gum ; jarasat means ate; ’urfut is a bees ‘ plant.
