Musnad Ahmad Hadith 24316

It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (ﷺ) loved sweet things and honey, and it was the habit of the Prophet (ﷺ) that after the Asr prayer, he would visit all his pure wives and grant them his closeness. One day, the Prophet (ﷺ) went to Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) and stayed with her longer than usual. When I inquired about this, I found out that a woman from Hafsa’s tribe had gifted her a vessel of honey, and she had given the Prophet (ﷺ) that honey to drink (which caused the delay). I thought to myself, "By Allah, I will devise a plan." So I mentioned this incident to Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) and told her to say, when the Prophet (ﷺ) comes to you and is near you, "O Messenger of Allah! Did you eat Maghafir (a particular kind of gum with a bad smell)?" He will say, "No." You should say, "Then what is this odor coming from your mouth?" Since the Prophet (ﷺ) greatly disliked bad smells, he would say, "Hafsa gave me honey to drink." You should say, "Perhaps the honeybee sat on the tree of Maghafir." I will say the same to him, and Safiyyah, you should also say the same. So when the Prophet (ﷺ) came to Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her), she says, "By the One besides whom there is no deity, out of fear of you, I was about to say this even when the Prophet (ﷺ) was still at the door." Anyway, when the Prophet (ﷺ) came near, I said exactly what was planned, and the same questions and answers took place. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says, "When the Prophet (ﷺ) came to me, I also said the same, then he went to Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she also said the same. Then when he went to Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) and she said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Shall I not give you some honey to drink?' the Prophet (ﷺ) replied, 'I do not feel like it.' Upon this, Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) said, 'SubhanAllah! By Allah, we have made the Prophet (ﷺ) give up honey.' I said to her, 'You should remain silent.'"
