from 'Aisha, the wife of the holy Prophet (peace be on him) by Bukhari, Muslim, Nasai. Abu Dawud and others that the
holy Prophet usually visited all his wives daily after 'Asr Prayer. Once it so happened that he stayed longer than usual
at the quarters of Zainab bint Jahsh, for she had received from somewhere some honey which the holy Prophet liked
very much. "At this", says 'Aisha, "I felt jealous, and Hafsa, Sawda, Safiya, and I agreed among ourselves that when
he visits us each of us would tell him that a peculiar odour came from his mouth as a result of what he had eaten, for
we knew that he was particularly sensitive to offensive smells". So when his wives hinted at it, he vowed that he would
never again use honey. Thereupon these verses were revealed reminding him that he should not declare to himself
unlawful that which Allah had made lawful to him. The important point to bear in mind is that he was at once rectified
by revelation, which reinforces the fact that the prophets are always under divine protection, and even the slightest
lapse on their part is never left uncorrected. (66.1)
5530 The tender words of admonition addressed to the Consorts in xxxiii. 28-34 explain the situation far better than any
comments can express. If the holy Prophet had been a mere husband in the ordinary sense of the term, he could not
have held the balance even between his private feelings and his public duties. But he was not an ordinary husband,
and he abandoned his renunciation on his realisation of the higher duties with which he was charged, and which
required conciliation with firmness. (66.1)
60:10 - O ye who believe! when there come to you believing women refugees examine (and test)
them: Allah knows best as to their Faith: if ye ascertain that they are Believers then send them
not back to the Unbelievers. They are not lawful (wives) for the Unbelievers nor are the
(Unbelievers) lawful (husbands) for them. (See under ―Women‖)
16:114 - So eat of the sustenance which Allah has provided for you lawful and good; and be grateful
for the favors of Allah if it is He whom ye serve. 2151
2151 Ingratitude for Allah's sustenance (in the literal and figurative senses) may be shown in various ways, e.g., (1) by
forgetting or refusing to acknowledge the true source of the bounty, viz., Allah, (2) by misusing or misapplying the
bounty, as by committing excesses in things lawful, or refusing to share them with others of Allah's creatures when the
need arises, or (3) by falsely ascribing to Allah any prohibitions we may set up for ourselves for special reasons or
because of our special idiosyncrasies. (16.114)

Pursuit of lawful means of Livelihood.
Ibn 'Abbas reported, "Once, when I recited the verses of the Qur'an, 'O you people! Eat of what is on earth, lawful and good'
(2.168) in the presence of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas got up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Ask
Allah to make me one whose supplication is heard.' At this the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, 'O Sa'd, consume lawful
things and your supplications will be heard, and by Him in Whose hands is the soul of Muhammad, when a man puts into his
stomach a morsel of what is forbidden his prayers are not accepted for forty days, and a servant of Allah whose body is
nourished by usury or by what is forbidden becomes more deserving of the Hell fire." (Al-Hafiz b. Marduwiyah)
