Update

Saeed bin Mansour and Al-Bayhaqi narrated on his authority on the authority of Hisham, on the authority of Ubaidah, on the authority of Ibrahim, and on the authority of Juwaybir, on the authority of Ad-Dahhak : That Hafsah, the Mother of the Believers, visited her father one day, and it was her day. When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came and did not see her in the house, he sent for his slave girl, Mariyah Al-Qibtiyyah, and had intercourse with her in Hafsah’s house. Hafsah came in that state and said: O Messenger of Allah, are you doing this in my house on my day? He said: It is forbidden to me, do not tell anyone about it. So Hafsah went to Aishah and told her about it, so Allah revealed in His Book: {O Prophet, why do you forbid what Allah has made lawful for you?} until His saying {and the righteous believers}, so He ordered him to atone for his oath and return to his slave girl . And with such narrations they attack and incite, without deliberation or knowledge!! We say that such a narration is neither proven nor authentic, as it is mursal as you see , meaning it is not authentic. In order for us to know the story correctly, it is important that we stop at the authentic and proven narrations and then build on them the correct understanding of the issue. I will convey to you what is authentic in this narration, the first of which is what was narrated by al-Nasa’i (3959) with his wording, and al-Hakim (3824), and al-Bayhaqi (15177)

that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) had a female slave whom he had intercourse with; Aisha and Hafsah kept on nagging him until he forbade her to himself; then Allah the Almighty revealed: {O Prophet, why do you forbid that which Allah has made lawful for you?} [Surah al-Durari al-Mudhiyyah] Narrated by Anas ibn Malik | Narrator of Hadith: al-Shawkaani | Source: al-Durari al-Mudhiyyah | Page or number: 225 | Summary of the narrator’s ruling: Its chain of transmission is authentic . The second narration was mentioned by Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, in his interpretation, where he said: Al-Haytham bin Kulayb said in his Musnad: Abu Qilabah Abdul Malik bin Muhammad Al-Raqashi told us, Muslim bin Ibrahim told us, Jarir bin Hazim told us, on the authority of Ayoub, on the authority of Nafi’, on the authority of Ibn Umar, on the authority of Umar, who said: The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to Hafsah: “Do not tell anyone, for the mother of Ibrahim is forbidden to me.” She said: “Do you forbid what Allah has made lawful for you?” He said: “By Allah, I will not approach her.” He said: So he did not approach her until Aisha told him. Then Allah revealed: “Allah has prescribed for you the expiation of your oaths.” This is a sound chain of transmission , and none of the authors of the six books narrated it, and it was chosen by Al-Hafiz Al-Dhiya’ Al-Maqdisi in his book Al-Mustakhra

These two narrations are the ones that are correct in this issue and through them we will understand the picture in a correct way. As you see, O intelligent observer, that the two narrations do not contain any mention that this happened in Hafsa’s house, nor on her day, nor on her bed. The narrations did not say this. Look twice and see if you find something like this in these two narrations!! What is correct from the narrations is that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to come to Maria, so Lady Hafsa and Lady Aisha, may God be pleased with them, became jealous, so they kept on with him until he forbade her to himself, and told Lady Hafsa, may God be pleased with her, not to tell anyone that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,

He forbade Maria to himself, and this was a secret between him and her, but she told Lady Aisha, may God be pleased with her, about this, and God revealed the verses of Surat At-Tahrim, according to those who said that the reason for the revelation of the verses was this story.

But it is not correct that this happened on Hafsa’s day, nor in her house, nor on her bed. This has not been proven and is not correct.

The narration indicates the good morals of the Prophet ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) towards his wives and his good treatment of them, and that he was pleased with them and was kind to them, out of mercy towards his wives and to please them, as Allah the Almighty said: {O Prophet, why do you forbid what Allah has made lawful for you , seeking the approval of your wives ? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.} [At-Tahrim: 1] So he forbade himself from having intercourse with his female slave whom he loved and from whom he had his son and beloved Ibrahim. So he gave priority to what his wives wanted over what he wanted and loved. He forbade himself what he loved until his wives were satisfied. Is someone like this to be criticized? Is someone like this to be criticized for his morals? What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? How do you judge?
