Sahih al-Bukhari
Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh))
"O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you?..." (V.66:1)
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
If someone says to his wife, "You are unlawful to me." he must make an expiation (for his oath). Ibn `Abbas added: There is for you in Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), an excellent example to follow.
