Surah At-Tahrim

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَآ أَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ لَكَ ۖ تَبْتَغِى مَرْضَاتَ أَزْوَٰجِكَ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu lima tuḥarrimu mā aḥallallāhu lak(a), tabtagī marḍāta azwājik(a), wallāhu gafūrur raḥīm(un).

O Prophet, why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

📝 Footnotes
721) The Prophet swore an oath not to be intimate with his wife, namely Mariah al-Qibtiyah. By this oath, something permissible (halal) became forbidden (not allowed) for him. Therefore, this verse does not mean that the Prophet altered the law of halal into haram.
