Sunan Abi Dawud 3715 (Book 27, Hadith 47) #24005
The Prophet's Love for Sweet Meats and Honey

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad liked sweet meats and honey, and he was careful to not have a bad smell coming from him.

'A’ishah said : The Messenger of Allah liked sweet meats and honey. The narrator then mentioned a part of the tradition mentioned above. The Messenger of Allah 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 يُحِبُّ الْحَلْوَاءَ وَالْعَسَلَ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ ‏.‏ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ 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
