حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّ الْحَلْوَائَ وَالْعَسَلَ فَذَکَرَ بَعْضَ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ وَکَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ تُوجَدَ مِنْهُ الرِّيحُ وَفِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَتْ سَوْدَةُ بَلْ أَکَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ قَالَ بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا سَقَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ فَقُلْتُ جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ نَبْتٌ مِنْ نَبْتِ النَّحْلِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد الْمَغَافِيرُ مُقْلَةٌ وَهِيَ صَمْغَةٌ وَجَرَسَتْ رَعَتْ وَالْعُرْفُطُ نَبْتٌ مِنْ نَبْتِ النَّحْلِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3715
Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ liked sweet meats and honey. The narrator then mentioned a part of the tradition mentioned above. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt it hard on him to find smell from him. In this tradition saudah said: but you ate gum ? He said: No, I drank honey. Hafsah gave it to me to drank. I said: Its bees ate ‘urfut. Abu Dawud said: Maghafir is a gum ; jarasat means ate; ’urfut is a bees ‘ plant.
