The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did something, granting himself a concession in the matter. Word of it reached some of his companions, and they seemed to disapprove of it and held themselves back from it. When this came to his attention, he stood up to deliver a sermon and said, "What is the matter with Some men who have heard about something I permitted myself, yet they disapprove of it and hold themselves back from it? By Allah, I know Allah better than they do, and I fear Him more intensely than they do."
صنع رسول الله ﷺ أمرا، فترخص فيه، فبلغ ذلك ناسا من أصحابه، فكأنهم كرهوه، وتنزهوا عنه، فبلغه ذلك، فقام خطيبا، فقال: ما بال رجال بلغهم عني أمر ترخصت فيه، فكرهوه، وتنزهوا عنه، فوالله لأنا أعلمهم بالله، وأشدهم له خشية.
