Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had a slave woman whom he would visit. ‘Aishah and Hafsah kept pressuring him until he declared her unlawful for himself. Then Allah revealed: "O Prophet, why do you prohibit what Allah has made lawful for you?" (66:1) to the end of the verse. [Narrated by Nasa’i]
Abdur-Razzaq narrated from Qatadah that he said, "He declared her unlawful, and it was an oath."
