What is the wisdom behind the Prophet not seeking to please his wives, when he forbade himself what Allah had made lawful for him, seeking their pleasure, especially since one of them felt bad because the incident occurred in her room, as mentioned in Surat At-Tahrim: "O Prophet, why do you prohibit what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the pleasure of your wives?"

The texts of Islamic law urged kindness towards wives and treating them with goodness. Satisfying one's wife with what is permissible is among the objectives of marriage and something enjoined by the Sharia (definition), as Allah Almighty says: ﴿And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you might dwell in tranquility with them, and He put affection and mercy between you. Verily in that are Signs for a people who reflect﴾, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The best among you is he who is best to his family, and I am the best among you to my family." The noble verse ﴿O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has made lawful to you, seeking to please your wives? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful﴾ did not forbid the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, from pleasing his wives; rather, it admonished him for forbidding to himself what Allah had made lawful, seeking their pleasure. This is similar to forbidding believers from prohibiting permissible things to themselves.
