And, mention, when the Prophet confided to one of his wives, namely, Hafsa, a certain matter, which was his prohibition of Māriya, telling her: 'Do not reveal it!'; but when she divulged it, to ‘ā’isha, reckoning there to be no blame in [doing] such a thing, and Allahu ta’ālā apprised him, He informed him, of it, of what had been divulged, he announced part of it, to Hafsa, and passed over part, out of graciousness on his part. So when he told her about it, she said, 'Who told you this?' He said, 'I was told by the Knower, the Aware', namely, Allahu ta’ālā.
