Hadith 6446
In the last part of his narration about the three who remained behind (from the battle of Tabuk). (I
said) "As a proof of my true repentance (for not joining the Holy battle of Tabuk), I shall give up all
my property for the sake of Allah and His Apostle (as an expiation for that sin)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to
me), "Keep some of your wealth, for that is better for you."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 83, Hadith 67

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The (reward of) deeds, depend upon the intentions and every person
will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for the sake of Allah and
His Apostle, then his emigration will be considered to be for Allah and His Apostle, and whoever
emigrated for the sake of worldly gain or for a woman to marry, then his emigration will be
considered to be for what he emigrated for." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 83, Hadith 66

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to stay (for a period) in the house of Zainab bint Jahsh (one of the wives of the
Prophet ) and he used to drink honey in her house. Hafsa and I decided that when the Prophet (ﷺ) entered
upon either of us, she would say, "I smell in you the bad smell of Maghafir (a bad smelling raisin).
Have you eaten Maghafir?" When he entered upon one of us, she said that to him. He replied (to her),
"No, but I have drunk honey in the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, and I will never drink it again." Then
the following verse was revealed: 'O Prophet ! Why do you ban (for you) that which Allah has made
lawful for you?. ..(up to) If you two (wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) turn in repentance to Allah.' (66.1-4) The
two were `Aisha and Hafsa And also the Statement of Allah: 'And (Remember) when the Prophet (ﷺ)
disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his wives!' (66.3) i.e., his saying, "But I have drunk
honey." Hisham said: It also meant his saying, "I will not drink anymore, and I have taken an oath, so
do not inform anybody of that." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 83, Hadith 68
