حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يُحِبُّ الْحَلْوَاءَ وَالْعَسَلَ فَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ دَارَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فَيَدْنُو مِنْهُنَّ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَاحْتَبَسَ عِنْدَهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا كَانَ يَحْتَبِسُ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقِيلَ لِى أَهْدَتْ لَهَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهَا عُكَّةً مِنْ عَسَلٍ فَسَقَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مِنْهُ شَرْبَةً فَقُلْتُ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَنَحْتَالَنَّ لَهُ. فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِسَوْدَةَ وَقُلْتُ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْكِ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَدْنُو مِنْكِ فَقُولِى لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَقُولُ لَكِ لاَ. فَقُولِى لَهُ مَا هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُوجَدَ مِنْهُ الرِّيحُ - فَإِنَّهُ سَيَقُولُ لَكِ سَقَتْنِى حَفْصَةُ شَرْبَةَ عَسَلٍ. فَقُولِى لَهُ جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ وَسَأَقُولُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَقُولِيهِ أَنْتِ يَا صَفِيَّةُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى سَوْدَةَ قَالَتْ تَقُولُ سَوْدَةُ وَالَّذِى لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ لَقَدْ كِدْتُ أَنْ أُبَادِئَهُ بِالَّذِى قُلْتِ لِى وَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَى الْبَابِ فَرَقًا مِنْكِ فَلَمَّا دَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ قَالَ « لاَ ». قَالَتْ فَمَا هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ قَالَ « سَقَتْنِى حَفْصَةُ شَرْبَةَ عَسَلٍ ». قَالَتْ جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ. فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ فَقَالَتْ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ أَسْقِيكَ مِنْهُ قَالَ « لاَ حَاجَةَ لِى بِهِ ». قَالَتْ تَقُولُ سَوْدَةُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ حَرَمْنَاهُ. قَالَتْ قُلْتُ لَهَا اسْكُتِى. قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بِشْرِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ بِهَذَا سَوَاءً.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) liked sweets and honey, and when he had prayed 'Asr, he would go around to his wives and get close to them. He entered upon Hafsah and stayed there longer than he usually did. I asked about that and I was told that a woman from among her people had given her a small vessel of honey as a gift, and she had poured some for the Prophet (s.a.w) to drink. I said: 'By Allah, we will play a trick on him.' I mentioned that to Sawdah and said: 'When he enters upon you, he will get close to you, so say to him: "O Messenger of Allah, have you eaten Maghafir?" He will say to you: "No." So say to him: "What is this smell?" - for the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) hated to have any smell coming from him -He will tell you: "Hafsah poured me a drink of honey." Say to him: "The bees must have sipped the nectar of Al-Urfat." I will say that to him too, and you say it as well, O Safiyyah.'Then he entered upon Sawdah." She said: "Sawdah used to say: 'By the One besides Whom there is none worthy of worship, I nearly decided to tell him what you had told me to say, when he was at the door, but I was afraid of you.' When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) drew close, she said: 'O Messenger of Allah, have you eaten Maghafir?' He said: 'No.' She said: 'Then what is this smell?' He said: 'Hafsah poured me a drink of honey.' She said: 'The bees must have sipped the nectar of Al' Urfut.' When he entered upon me, I said the same thing, then he entered upon Safiyyah and she said the same thing. When he entered upon Hafsah she said: 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I pour you some?' He said: 'I have no need of it."' "Sawdah said: 'Subhan-Allah, we have deprived him of it.' I said to her: 'Be quiet!"'
