Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to like sweets and also used to like honey, and whenever he finished the `Asr prayer, he used to visit his wives and stay with them. Once he visited Hafsa and remained with her longer than the period he used to stay, so I enquired about it. It was said to me, A woman from her tribe gave her a leather skin containing honey as a present, and she gave some of it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to drink. I said, By Allah, we will play a trick on him. So I mentioned the story to Sauda (the wife of the Prophet) and said to her, When he enters upon you, he will come near to you whereupon you should say to him, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Have you eaten Maghafir?' He will say, 'No.' Then you say to him, 'What is this bad smell? ' And it would be very hard on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that a bad smell should be found on his body. He will say, 'Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.' Then you should say to him, 'Its bees must have sucked from the Al-`Urfut (a foul smelling flower).' I too, will tell him the same. And you, O Saifya, say the same. So when the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon Sauda (the following happened). Sauda said, By Him except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, I was about to say to him what you had told me to say while he was still at the gate because of fear from you. But when Allah 's Apostle came near to me, I said to him, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Have you eaten Maghafir?' He replied, 'No.' I said, 'What about this smell?' He said, 'Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.' I said, 'Its bees must have sucked Al-`Urfut.' When he entered upon me, I told him the same as that, and when he entered upon Safiya, she too told him the same. So when he visited Hafsa again, she said to him, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I give you a drink of it (honey)? He said, I have no desire for it. Sauda said, Subhan Allah! We have deprived him of it (honey). I said to her, Be quiet!

':'Telah menceritakan kepada kami Ubaid bin Isma'il telah menceritakan kepada kami Abu Usamah dari Hisyam dari ayahnya dari Aisyah mengatakan; Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam sangat menyukai makanan yang manis-manis dan madu. Adalah kebiasaan beliau jika beliau telah menunaikan shalat 'ashar maka beliau melewati isteri-isterinya dan mendekati mereka. Maka Suatu kali beliau menemui Hafshah dan berada di sisinya lebih lama daripada kebiasaan beliau pada hari-hari normal. Maka segera aku tanyai beliau mengapa di rumah Hafshah sekian lama tidak seperti hari-hari biasanya. Beliau menjawab: 'Ada seorang wanita kaumnya menghadiahinya sekaleng madu lantas ia memberinya minum kepada Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam.' Maka aku mengatakan; 'Demi Allah kami pasti akan mengerjai beliau.' Maka aku berkata kepada Saudah; 'jika Rasulullah menemuimu dan ia mendekatimu katakanlah kepadanya; 'ya Rasulullah engkau makan buah mighfar? ' tentu beliau akan mengatakan; 'tidak' maka katakan kepadanya; 'lantas bau apa ini? ' Yang demikian karena Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam merasa risih jika didapati bau yang kurang menyedapkan dari tubuhnya. Maka beliau akan mengatakan; 'Hafshah telah memberiku minuman madu.' Maka katakanlah kepadanya; 'Rasa madu itu telah berubah karena ada sesuatu yang dimakan lebah! ' Dan aku akan mengatakan yang sedemikian dan katakan begitu ya Shafiyah! ' Maka dikala Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menemui Saudah Saudah mengatakan; 'Demi Dzat yang tiada Tuhan selain Dia nyaris aku terlebih dahulu bertanya kepada Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dengan ucapan yang kau ucapkan padaku dan Nabi sudah berada di pintu karena takut terhadapmu. Dikala Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mendekat saya mengatakan; 'ya Rasulullah Benarkan engkau telah makan buah mighfar? ' 'tidak' Jawabnya. Maka aku katakan; 'lantas bau apa ini? ' Nabi menjawab; 'Hafshah telah memberi madu kepadaku.' Saya mengatakan; 'rasa madu itu telah berubah karena ada tawon yang memakan sesuatu! ' Ketika beliau menemuiku kukatakan yang demikian. Dan dikala beliau menemui Shafiyah ia juga mengatakan yang sedemikian. Maka dikala beliau menemui Hafshah Hafshah bertanya; 'ya Rasulullah maukah aku beri minum madu? ' Nabi menjawab: 'Aku tidak butuh terhadapnya.' Lantas Saudah mengatakan; 'Demi Allah kita telah mengharamkan madu untuknya.' Aisyah berkata; kukatakan; 'diam kamu! ''
