Quran refers to an incident in which Prophet Muhammad confided in one of his wives, Hafsah, about a matter which she later disclosed to another wife, Aisha. The verse admonishes both wives for their actions and warns them that if they conspire against the Prophet, Allah will aid him against them. The verse is often cited as an example of the high ethical standards expected of Muslims, even in their personal relationships, and the importance of trust and confidentiality.
Quran 66:1 is as follows:
"O Prophet, why do you forbid [yourself from] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."
This verse was revealed in response to an incident where Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had prohibited himself from consuming honey because his wives had expressed their dislike for its strong odor. The verse reminds the Prophet that he need not seek his wives' approval in matters that Allah has made permissible, and that Allah is forgiving and merciful.
This verse serves as a reminder to Muslims that while it is important to consider the opinions of others, including one's spouse, ultimately, it is Allah's laws and guidelines that should be followed. Additionally, the verse highlights the forgiving and merciful nature of Allah, who understands the human struggle and forgives our mistakes.
