The incident of the honey And (remember) when the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his wives, then she told it. And Allah made it known to him; he informed part thereof and left a part. Then when he told her thereof, she said: Who told you this? He said: The All-Knower, the All-Aware has told me. If you two turn in repentance to Allah, your hearts are indeed so inclined; but if you help one another against him, then verily, Allah is his Protector, and Jibril, and the righteous among the believers; and after that the angels are his helpers. (66:3-4) In the Book of Divorce, Al-Bukhari recorded that Aishah said: Allahs Messenger liked sweets and honey. After performing the `Asr prayer, he used to visit his wives, going close to them. So he went to Hafsah, daughter of Umar, and stayed with her more than his usual stay. I (Aishah) became jealous and asked about that. It was said to me `A woman of her family sent her a small vessel of honey as a gift, and she gave a drink to Allahs Messenger made from it. I said, `By Allah, we will contrive a plot against him. I said to Sawdah bint Zam`ah: When the Messenger visits you and draws close to you, say to him, Have you eaten Maghafir? And when he says to you, No, then ask him, What is this odor? He will say to you, `Hafsah has given me a drink of honey. Then you should say to him, ` The honeybees might have eaten from Urfut, and I will also say the same to him. Safiyyah, you should also say this. Sawdah later said, `It was under compulsion that I had decided to state that which you told me; soon, by Allah, he was standing at my door. So when Allahs Messenger came near her, she said, `O Messenger of Allah! Did you eat Maghafir He said, `No. She again said, Then what is this odor? He said: Hafsah gave me honey to drink. She said, `The honeybees might have eaten from `Urfut. Aishah continued, When he came to me I said the same to him. He then visited Safiyyah and she also said similar to him. When he again visited Hafsah, she said, `O Messenger of Allah, should I not give you that (drink)? He said, I do not need it. Sawdah said, `By Allah! We have prevented him from drinking honey. I said to her, `Keep quiet! Muslim also recorded this Hadith, but this wording is from Al-Bukhari.
