4912. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to drink honey in the house of Zainab, the daughter of Jahsh, and would stay there with her. So Ḥafṣa and I agreed secretly that, if he come to either of us, she would say to him, "It seems you have eaten Maghāfir (a kind of foul-smelling resin), for I smell in you the smell of Maghāfir." (We did so) and he replied, "No, but I was drinking honey in the house of Zainab, the daughter of Jahsh, and I shall never take it again. I have taken an oath as to that, and you should not tell anybody about it."

4912 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَشْرَبُ عَسَلًا عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، وَيَمْكُثُ عِنْدَهَا، فَوَاطَيْتُ أَنَا وَحَفْصَةُ عَلَى، أَيَّتُنَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَلْتَقُلْ لَهُ: أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ، إِنِّي أَجِدُ مِنْكَ رِيحَ مَغَافِيرَ، قَالَ: «لاَ، وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ أَشْرَبُ عَسَلًا عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، فَلَنْ أَعُودَ لَهُ، وَقَدْ حَلَفْتُ، لاَ تُخْبِرِي بِذَلِكَ أَحَدًا»
