Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 27, Hadith 47

‘A’ishah said : The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) liked sweet meats and honey. The narrator then mentioned a part of the tradition mentioned above. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) felt it hard on him to find smell from him. In this tradition saudah said: but you ate gum ? He said : No, I drank honey. Hafsah gave it to me to drank. I said : Its bees ate ‘urfut. Abu Dawud said: Maghafir is a gum ; jarasat means ate; ’urfut is a bees ‘ plant.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُحِبُّ الْحَلْوَاءَ وَالْعَسَلَ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ ‏.‏ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ تُوجَدَ مِنْهُ الرِّيحُ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قَالَتْ سَوْدَةُ بَلْ أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏
“‏ بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلاً سَقَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْمَغَافِيرُ مُقْلَةٌ وَهِيَ صَمْغَةٌ ‏.‏ وَجَرَسَتْ رَعَتْ ‏.‏ وَالْعُرْفُطُ نَبْتٌ مِنْ نَبْتِ النَّحْلِ ‏.‏

Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 27, Hadith 47

 
This hadith is from the Sunan Abi Dawud collection of hadiths. Sunan Abi Dawud constitutes a seminal work within the Kutub al-Sittah (the Six Books), the canonical compendiums of hadith in Sunni Islam. Authored by Abu Dawud Sulayman ibn al-Ash’ath al-Sijistani (817–889 CE), the collection is systematically organized into kitabs (books) that primarily address matters of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence). Containing precisely 4,800 hadiths, it is critically acclaimed not only for its content but for the compiler’s scholarly annotations, which frequently assess the authenticity (sihha) and reliability of the included isnads (chains of transmission). Its status is thus one of pronounced authority, though it is not exclusively limited to sahih (authentic) grade hadiths.
