The jealous wives and the honey
"A'uzhu billahi minash shaitanir rajim"
"Bismillahir rahmanir rahim"
I seek shelter in Allah from the rejected Satan"
In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful.
Assalamualaikum warahmatulahi wabarakatuhu guys, it's me (ukhtee_) the founder of this magazine to tell you the most beautiful story about the Prophet (SAW) and his wives which I extremely love listening to and I hope you guys like it to.
In the opening verses of Sūrat al-Taḥrīm, an incident is described in which the prophet Muhammad, peace, and blessings be upon him, prohibited himself from something in order to please his wives. The classical commentators provide two opinions: one is strong and authentic, and the other is weaker and provokes controversy.
It has been authentically narrated on the authority of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that the Prophet prohibited himself from drinking honey to please his wives. Aisha and Hafsa were upset that the Prophet was spending more time with his wife Zainab on account of a honey drink she would serve him, so they secretly agreed to pretend to be offended by the odor. The Prophet did not want to offend his wives, so he swore an oath never to drink it again. Allah revealed the verses telling the Prophet not to prohibit what is lawful.
Aisha reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would spend time with his wife Zainab bint Jahsh and he would drink a concoction of honey. Hafsa and I agreed that whomever the Prophet visited first, we would say, "I notice a strong odor of mimosa gum on you." The Prophet visited one of them and she said this to him, so the Prophet said:
بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ وَلَنْ أَعُودَ لَهُ
I have taken a honey drink at Zainab's house and I will not do it again.
The verse was revealed:
لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ
Why do you forbid yourself from what Allah has made lawful for you? (66:1)
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1474, Grade: Sahih
It's such a beautiful story that is narrated by Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) about giving up things for the sake of people's happiness when you really shouldn't. I hope you can take away a special lesson from this insha'Allah.
