Q
What can be learned about the Prophet’s (ﷺ) personal preferences and his interactions with his wives from this narration?
A
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to drink honey in the house of Zainab, the daughter of Jahsh, and would stay
there with her. So Hafsa and I agreed secretly that, if he come to either of us, she would say to him. “It
seems you have eaten Maghafir (a kind of bad-smelling resin), for I smell in you the smell of
Maghafir,” (We did so) and he replied. “No, but I was drinking honey in the house of Zainab, the
daughter of Jahsh, and I shall never take it again. I have taken an oath as to that, and you should not
tell anybody about it.”
