English translation

3715. It was reported from Hishām, from his father, from 'Āishah, that she said: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ loved sweets and honey" — and he mentioned some of this narration — "And would be very concerned if there was a smell on him." And in the Hadīth; Sawdah said: "No, you ate Maghāfir." He said: "No, I drank honey that Ḥafṣah gave me to drink." I said: "Its bees tended to (Jarasaṭ) Al-'Urṭuṭ" — one of the plants frequented by bees. Abū Dāwūd said: Al-Maghāfir is Muqlah[1] and it is a resin. And Jarasaṭ: means “tend to” and Al-Urfuṭ: is a plant frequented by bees. (Ṣaḥīḥ)

3715 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّ الْحَلْوَاءَ وَالْعَسَلَ»، فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ تُوجَدَ مِنْهُ الرِّيحُ، وَفِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَتْ: سَوْدَةُ: بَلْ أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ، قَالَ: «بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا سَقَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ» فَقُلْتُ: جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ، نَبْتٌ مِنْ نَبْتِ النَّحْلِ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: " الْمَغَافِيرُ: مُقْلَةٌ، وَهِيَ صَمْغَةٌ، وَجَرَسَتْ: رَعَتْ، وَالْعُرْفُطُ: نَبْتٌ مِنْ نَبْتِ النَّحْلِ "
