Confidential Matters (L-3290)

وَإِذْ أَسَرَّ ٱلنَّبِىُّ إِلَىٰ بَعْضِ أَزْوَٰجِهِۦ حَدِيثًا فَلَمَّا نَبَّأَتْ بِهِۦ وَأَظْهَرَهُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَرَّفَ بَعْضَهُۥ وَأَعْرَضَ عَنۢ بَعْضٍ فَلَمَّا نَبَّأَهَا بِهِۦ قَالَتْ مَنْ أَنۢبَأَكَ هَٰذَا قَالَ نَبَّأَنِىَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ 3  إِن تَتُوبَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوبُكُمَا 4a

3.  Wa  ‘iz  ‘asarran-Nabiyyu  ‘ilaa  ba'-zi  ‘azwaajihii  hadiisaa.  Falammaa  nabba-‘at  bihii  wa  ‘azharahUllaahu  'alayhi  'arrafa  ba'-zahuu  wa  ‘a'-raza  'am-  ba'-z.  Falammaa  nabba-‘ahaa  bihii  qaalat  man  ‘amba-‘aka  haazaa.  Qaala  nabba-‘aniyal-'Aliimul-Khabiir. 4a.  ‘In tatuubaaa  ‘ilAllaahi  fa-qad  sagat  quluubukumaa.

3. When the Prophet confided a fact unto one of his wives and when she afterward divulged it and Allah apprised him thereof, he made known (to her) part thereof and passed over part. And when he told it her she said: Who has told you? He said: The Knower, the Aware has told me. 4a. If you twain turn unto Allah repentant, (you have cause to do so) for your hearts desired (the ban);

In this verse, there is an indication towards such circumstances, during which Command of previous verse was revealed. Stay of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) at the house of Zainab for drinking honey was unpleasant to Aishah and Hafsah (May Allaah be pleased with them). Both of them consulted with each other that they must compel the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) by opposing to leave drinking honey. When he came to Aishah, she said, “A smell is coming from your mouth”. He said, “I drank honey”. Then he visited the house of Hafsah, but she said the same also. He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said secretly: I shall not drink honey in future, but you must not tell to any other. 

But Hafsah told Aishah (May Allaah be pleased with them). The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said to Hafsah but did not declare his anger: You have told my secret to Aishah. The same has been described in this verse: He made known part of it and ignored a part.

Hafsah asked: Who did describe you that I have told your secret to someone else? He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) said: My Lord has described me Who knows everything and is Aware of every matter. Then Allaah Almighty commanded for Aishah and Hafsah: Both of them must repent to Allaah because they have gone wrong from the right path and their hearts have deviated. Everyone must be careful in future.
