Surah At-Tahrim is the 66th chapter of the Quran, and it contains verses related to the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In particular, the chapter tells the story of an incident that occurred between the Prophet and his wives that is known as the "incident of the honey."
According to the story, the Prophet Muhammad had taken a vow to abstain from honey as a way of showing his devotion to God. One day, his wife Aisha brought him some honey, unaware of his vow. The Prophet tasted the honey and then asked Aisha where she had gotten it from. She told him that it had been a gift from one of his other wives, Hafsah.
Upon hearing this, the Prophet was upset that his wives had broken his vow and decided to abstain from them for a period of time. However, God revealed verses to the Prophet reminding him that it was not right to punish his wives for an innocent mistake, and that he should instead forgive them and continue to treat them kindly.
The incident of the honey serves as a reminder in Islam of the importance of forgiveness and treating others with kindness and compassion, even in the face of anger or disappointment. The story also emphasizes the equality and respect that should exist in marriage, and the importance of honesty and transparency in relationships.
Surah At-Tahrim: This chapter tells the story of the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), who were rebuked by God for their disobedience and were commanded to repent and seek forgiveness.
Here are the verses from Surah At-Tahrim Chapter 66 that relate to the incident of the honey and the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
"O Prophet, why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Allah has already ordained for you [Muslims] the dissolution of your oaths. And Allah is your protector, and He is the Knowing, the Wise. And [remember] when the Prophet confided to one of his wives a statement; and when she informed [another] of it and Allah showed it to him, he made known part of it and ignored a part. And when he informed her about it, she said, "Who told you this?" He said, "I was informed by the Knowing, the Acquainted." [At-Tahrim 66:1-3]
"If you two [wives] repent to Allah , [it is best], for your hearts have deviated. But if you cooperate against him - then indeed Allah is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous of the believers and the angels, moreover, are [his] assistants. Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you - submitting [to Allah ], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and traveling - [ones] previously married and virgins." [At-Tahrim 66:4-5]
"O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded." [At-Tahrim 66:6]
In summary in this Surah, Allah addresses the Prophet Muhammad regarding a situation where he had prohibited himself from something lawful due to seeking the approval of his wives. Allah reminds the Prophet that he has already made a way for him to dissolve his oaths and that Allah is his protector. The incident in question involves a statement the Prophet had confided to one of his wives, who then told another wife. Allah made this known to the Prophet, who then revealed part of it and ignored another part. When the wife questioned him about it, he revealed that he was informed by the Knowing, the Acquainted (i.e. Allah). Allah then reminds the wives that their hearts have deviated, and that if they do not repent and cooperate against him, Allah will protect the Prophet and provide him with better wives. The surah concludes with a warning to believers to protect themselves and their families from the Fire.
