[36781 20 (1474) 'Aishah narrated that the Prophet used to stay with Zainab bint Jahsh and drink honey in her house. She said: "Hafsah and I agreed that whichever of us the Prophet entered upon first, she should say: 'I can smell Maghafir on you; have you eaten Maghafir?' 111 He entered upon one of them and she said that to him. He said: 'No, I drank honey at the house of Zainab hint Jahah, but I will never do it again.' Then the following verses were revealed: "Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you" up to the words, "If you two turn in repentance to Allh" 21 - addressing 'Aiah and IIafah - The phrase "And (remember) when the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his wives" (in verse 3) refers to him saying: 'No, I drank honey."

Arabic text

20 - (1474) وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ، يُخْبِرُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَائِشَةَ، تُخْبِرُ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَمْكُثُ عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ فَيَشْرَبُ عِنْدَهَا عَسَلًا، قَالَتْ: فَتَوَاطَأْتُ أَنَا وَحَفْصَةُ أَنَّ أَيَّتَنَا مَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلْتَقُلْ: إِنِّي أَجِدُ مِنْكَ رِيحَ مَغَافِيرَ، أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ؟ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى إِحْدَاهُمَا، فَقَالَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، وَلَنْ أَعُودَ لَهُ»، فَنَزَلَ: {لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللهُ لَكَ} [التحريم: 1] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {إِنْ تَتُوبَا} [التحريم: 4] لِعَائِشَةَ وَحَفْصَةَ، {وَإِذْ أَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ حَدِيثًا} [التحريم: 3]، لِقَوْلِهِ: «بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا»
