Volume 7, Book 63, Number 192:
Narrated ‘Ubaid bin ‘Umar:
I heard ‘Aisha saying, “The Prophet used to stay for a long while with Zanab bint Jahsh and drink
honey at her house. So Hafsa and I decided that if the Prophet came to anyone of us, she should say
him, “I detect the smell of Maghafir (a nasty smelling gum) in you. Have you eaten Maghafir?’ ” So
the Prophet visited one of them and she said to him similarly. The Prophet said, “Never mind, I have
taken some honey at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, but I shall never drink of it anymore.” So there
was revealed: ‘O Prophet ! Why do you ban (for you) that which Allah has made lawful for you . . . If
you two (wives of Prophet) turn in repentance to Allah,’ (66.1-4) addressing Aisha and Hafsa. ‘When
the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to some of his wives.’ (66.3) namely his saying: But I
have taken some honey.”

Ta’if tomorrow, I recommend that you take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) for (she is so fat)

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
that he had divorced his wife while she was menstruating during the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle .
‘Umar bin Al-Khattab asked Allah’s Apostle about that. Allah’s Apostle said, “Order him (your son) to
take her back and keep her till she is clean and then to wait till she gets her next period and becomes
clean again, whereupon, if he wishes to keep her, he can do so, and if he wishes to divorce her he

Allah has fixed for the women meant to be divorced.”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
Once Sada bint Zam’a went out at night for some need, and ‘Umar saw her, and recognizing her,
