Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2316 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came with his slave-woman Mariyah the Copt to the house of Sayyidah Hafsah bint Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) found Mariyah with him and said: "O Messenger of Allah! In my house, out of all the houses of your wives?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Hafsah! She is forbidden to me, that I should go near her; and keep this a secret for me." Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) left and came to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: "O daughter of Abu Bakr! Shall I not give you good news?" Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked: "About what?" Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "I found Mariyah with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in my house, so I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! In my house, out of all the houses of your wives? And out of all your wives you do this with me?' The first happy outcome was that he (peace and blessings be upon him) made Mariyah forbidden for himself. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: 'O Hafsah! Shall I not give you good news?' I said: 'Of course, O Messenger of Allah! May my father and mother be sacrificed for you!' So he (peace and blessings be upon him) informed me that your father will take charge of the affair (of the caliphate) after him, and that my father will take charge after your father. He (peace and blessings be upon him) has asked me to keep this a secret, so you too keep it a secret." Upon this Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed these verses: "O Prophet! Why do you forbid what Allah has made lawful for you" meaning Mariyah, "seeking the pleasure of your wives?" meaning Hafsah, "And Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful" meaning for what happened on your part. "Allah has ordained for you the dissolution of your oaths (through expiation), and Allah is your Protector, and He is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. And when the Prophet confided a matter to one of his wives" meaning Hafsah, "then when she disclosed it (to another)" meaning to Aishah, "and Allah made it known to him" meaning through the Qur'an, "he made known part of it" meaning he told Hafsah what she had disclosed about the matter of Mariyah, "and turned away from part of it" meaning he overlooked what she had told about Abu Bakr and Umar and did not reproach her for it. "Then when he informed her of it, she said: Who told you this? He said: The All-Knowing, the All-Aware has informed me." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to them, reproaching them, and so it was said: "If you two turn in repentance to Allah (that is best), for your hearts have inclined; but if you support one another against the Prophet, then indeed Allah is his Protector, and Jibril and the righteous believers" meaning Abu Bakr and Umar, "and after that the angels are (his) helpers. It may be that if he divorces you, his Lord will give him in your place wives better than you: Muslim, believing, obedient, repentant, devout, fasting, previously married and virgins." So Allah Almighty promised him (peace and blessings be upon him), from among the previously married women, Asiyah bint Muzahim, the wife of Pharaoh, and the sister of Nuh (peace be upon him), and from among the virgins, Maryam bint Imran and the sister of Musa (peace be upon him), peace be upon them all.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) except with this chain; Hisham bin Ibrahim is alone in narrating it."
