Sunan Abu Dawud
Abu DawudHadith #3715: Sahih

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 ‏.‏

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
