حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُحِبُّ الْحَلْوَاءَ وَالْعَسَلَ . فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ . وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ تُوجَدَ مِنْهُ الرِّيحُ . وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قَالَتْ سَوْدَةُ بَلْ أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ . قَالَ " بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلاً سَقَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ " . فَقُلْتُ جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْمَغَافِيرُ مُقْلَةٌ وَهِيَ صَمْغَةٌ . وَجَرَسَتْ رَعَتْ . وَالْعُرْفُطُ نَبْتٌ مِنْ نَبْتِ النَّحْلِ .
A'isha Narrated from:
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.
[1] Muqlah is used to describe “eyeball” – Al-'Azimabādi said that what is apparent is that it should be Muql without At-Tā at the end, and it is a word used to describe a gum or resin.Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 3715In-book reference : Book 27, Hadith 47English translation : Book 26, Hadith 3706
