حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَة رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُخْبِرُ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَمْكُثُ عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيَشْرَبُ عِنْدَهَا عَسَلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَوَاصَيْتُ أَنَا وَحَفْصَةُ أَيَّتُنَا مَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلْتَقُلْ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي أَجِدُ مِنْكَ رِيحَ مَغَافِيرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَخَلَ عَلَى إِحْدَاهُنَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَنْ أَعُودَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَزَلَتْ:‏‏‏‏ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ تَبْتَغِي سورة التحريم آية 1 إِلَى إِنْ تَتُوبَا إِلَى اللَّهِ سورة التحريم آية 4، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لِعَائِشَةَ وَحَفْصَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذْ أَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ حَدِيثًا سورة التحريم آية 3، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لِقَوْلِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا .

The prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to stay with Zainab, daughter of Jahsh رضی اللہ عنہا, and drink honey. I and Hafsah رضی اللہ عنہما counseled each other that if the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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 رضی اللہ عنہما, and the verse: ‘’When the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his consorts’’ refers to the statements of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his consorts’’ refers to the statement of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم: No, I drank honey.
