Abu Tamimah reported from a man of his tribe “The Prophet ﷺ heard a man say his wife “O my younger sister! So he prohibited him (addressing his wife in this manner) Abu Dawud said “This tradition has also been transmitted by Abd Al Aziz bin Al Mukhtar from Khalid from Abu Uthman from Abu Thamimah from the Prophet ﷺ. This has also been narrated by Shubah from Khalid from a man on the authority of Abu Thamimah from the Prophet ﷺ.

أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ، ← خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّائِ ← عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَرْبٍ ← أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبَزَّازُ

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying Abraham ﷺ never told a lie except on three occasions twice for the sake of Allaah. Allaah quoted his words (in the Quran) “I am indeed sick” and “Nay, this was done by - this is their biggest one”. Once he was passing through the land of a tyrant (king). He stayed there in a place. People went to the tyrant and informed him saying “A man has come down here; he has a most beautiful woman with him. ” So he sent for him (Abraham) and asked about her. He said she is my sister. When he returned to her, he said “he asked me about you and I informed him that you were my sister. Today there is no believer except me and you. You are my sister in the Book of Allaah (i. e., sister in faith). So do not belie me before him. The narrator then narrated the rest of the tradition. Abu Dawud said “A similar tradition has also been narrated by Shuaib bin Abi Hamza from Abi Al Zinad from Al A’raj on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ.

Narrated Salamah ibn Sakhr al-Bayadi: I was a man who was more given than others to sexual intercourse with women. When the month of Ramadan came, I feared lest I should have intercourse with my wife, and this evil should remain with me till the morning. So I made my wife like my mother's back to me till the end of Ramadan. But one night when she was waiting upon me, something of her was revealed. Suddenly I jumped upon her. When the morning came I went to my people and informed them about this matter. I said: Go along with me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They said: No, by Allah. So I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him and informed him of the matter. He said: Have you really committed it, Salamah? I said: I committed it twice, Messenger of Allah. I am content with the Commandment of Allah, the Exalted; so take a decision about me according to what Allah has shown you. He said: Free a slave. I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, I do not possess a neck other than this: and I struck the surface of my neck. He said: Then fast two consecutive months. I said: Whatever I suffered is due to fasting. He said: Feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates. I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, we passed the night hungry; there was no food in our house. He said: Then go to the collector of sadaqah of Banu Zurayq; he must give it to you. Then feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates; and you and your family eat the remaining dates. Then I came back to my people, and said (to them): I found with you poverty and bad opinion; and I found with the Prophet ﷺ prosperity and good opinion. He has commanded me to give alms to you. Ibn al-Ala added: Ibn Idris said: Bayadah is a sub-clan of Banu Zurayq.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ عَنْ خُوَيْلَةَ بِنْتِ مَالِکِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ قَالَتْ ظَاهَرَ مِنِّي زَوْجِي أَوْسُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ فَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَشْکُو إِلَيْهِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُجَادِلُنِي فِيهِ وَيَقُولُ اتَّقِي اللَّهَ فَإِنَّهُ ابْنُ عَمِّکِ فَمَا بَرِحْتُ حَتَّی نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ قَدْ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي تُجَادِلُکَ فِي زَوْجِهَا إِلَی الْفَرْضِ فَقَالَ يُعْتِقُ رَقَبَةً قَالَتْ لَا يَجِدُ قَالَ فَيَصُومُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ شَيْخٌ کَبِيرٌ مَا بِهِ مِنْ صِيَامٍ قَالَ فَلْيُطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْکِينًا قَالَتْ مَا عِنْدَهُ مِنْ شَيْئٍ يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ قَالَتْ فَأُتِيَ سَاعَتَئِذٍ بِعَرَقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنِّي أُعِينُهُ بِعَرَقٍ آخَرَ قَالَ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتِ اذْهَبِي فَأَطْعِمِي بِهَا عَنْهُ سِتِّينَ مِسْکِينًا وَارْجِعِي إِلَی ابْنِ عَمِّکِ قَالَ وَالْعَرَقُ سِتُّونَ صَاعًا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد فِي هَذَا إِنَّهَا کَفَّرَتْ عَنْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَسْتَأْمِرَهُ

Narrated Khuwaylah, daughter of Malik ibn Thalabah: My husband, Aws ibn as-Samit, pronounced the words: You are like my mother. So I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, complaining to him about my husband. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ disputed with me and said: Remain dutiful to Allah; he is your cousin. I continued (complaining) until the Quranic verse came down: "Certainly has Allah heard the speech of the one who argues with you, [O Muhammad], concerning her husband. . . " [58: 1] till the prescription of expiation. He then said: He should set free a slave. She said: He cannot afford it. He said: He should fast for two consecutive months. She said: Messenger of Allah, he is an old man; he cannot keep fasts. He said: He should feed sixty poor people. She said: He has nothing which he may give in alms. At that moment an araq (i. e. date-basket holding fifteen or sixteen sa's) was brought to him. I said: I shall help him with another date-basked ('araq). He said: You have done well. Go and feed sixty poor people on his behalf, and return to your cousin. The narrator said: An araq holds sixty sa's of dates. Abu Dawud said: She atoned on his behalf without seeking his permission. Abu Dawud said: This man (Aws bin al-Samit) is the brother of Ubadah bin al-Samit.

A similar tradition has been transmitted by Ibn Ishaq with a different chain of narrators. But in this version he said ‘Araq is a date-basket holding thirty sa’s. Abu Dawud said “This version is sounder than that of Yahya bin Adam. ”

ابْنِ إِسْحَقَ ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ← عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَی أَبُو الْأَصْبَغِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ← الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ يَعْنِي بِالْعَرَقِ زِنْبِيلًا يَأْخُذُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا

Another version transmitted by Abu Salamah bin Abd Al Rahman has ‘Araq is a date-basket holding fifteen sa’s.

أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ← يَحْيَى ← أَبَانُ، ← مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ بُکَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِتَمْرٍ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ وَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ خَمْسَةِ عَشَرَ صَاعًا قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَی أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أَهْلِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کُلْهُ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُکَ

The tradition mentioned above has been transmitted by Sulaiman bin Yasar. This version has “Then some dates were brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he gave it him. They measured about fifteen sa’s “. He said “Give them in alms”. He said “Is there anyone needier than I and my family. Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “Eat them, you and your family. ”

سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ← بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، ← ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ← ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ← ابْنُ السَّرْحِ

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد قَرَأْتُ عَلَی مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ وَزِيرٍ الْمِصْرِيِّ قُلْتُ لَهُ حَدَّثَکُمْ بِشْرُ بْنُ بَکْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَطَائٌ عَنْ أَوْسٍ أَخِي عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَاهُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ إِطْعَامَ سِتِّينَ مِسْکِينًا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَعَطَائٌ لَمْ يُدْرِکْ أَوْسًا وَهُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ قَدِيمُ الْمَوْتِ وَالْحَدِيثُ مُرْسَلٌ وَإِنَّمَا رَوَوْهُ عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ عَطَائٍ أَنَّ أَوْسًاَهُو

Abu Dawud said “I recited to Muhammad bin Wazir Al Misri and said to him Bishr bin Bakr narrated it to you and Al Auzai narrated it to us. And he said “At’a narrated it to us on the authority of Aus brother of Ubadah bin Al Samit. The Prophet ﷺ gave him fifteen sa’s of wheat to feed sixty poor people. Abu Dawud said At’a did not meet Aws (bin Al Samit) who was one of the people of Badr and died in the early days of Islam. This version is therefore, mursal (i. e., a successor narrated it directly from the Prophet ﷺ, the link of the Companions is missing). This has been narrated by Al Auzai from At’a from Aus.

أَوْسٍ أَخِي عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ← عَطَائٍ ← الْاَوْزَاعِیُّ ← زِيرٍ الْمِصْرِيِّ قُلْتُ لَهُ حَدَّثَکُمْ بِشْرُ بْنُ بَکْرٍ ← عَلَی مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ← أَبُو دَاوُدَ،

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ أَنَّ جَمِيلَةَ کَانَتْ تَحْتَ أَوْسِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ وَکَانَ رَجُلًا بِهِ لَمَمٌ فَکَانَ إِذَا اشْتَدَّ لَمَمُهُ ظَاهَرَ مِنْ امْرَأَتِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی فِيهِ کَفَّارَةَ الظِّهَارِ

Narrated Hisham bin Urwah: Khawlah was the wife of Aws ibn as-Samit; he was a man immensely given to sexual intercourse. When his desire for intercourse was intensified, he made his wife like his mother's back. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down Quranic verses relating to expiation for zihar.

هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، ← حَمَّادٍ، ← مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ مِثْلَهُ

A similar tradition has been transmitted by Aishah through a different chain of narrators.

عَائِشَةَ ← عُرْوَةَ ← هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، ← حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ← هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ الطَّالَقَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَکَمُ بْنُ أَبَانَ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا ظَاهَرَ مِنْ امْرَأَتِهِ ثُمَّ وَاقَعَهَا قَبْلَ أَنَّ يُکَفِّرَ فَأَتَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ مَا حَمَلَکَ عَلَی مَا صَنَعْتَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ سَاقِهَا فِي الْقَمَرِ قَالَ فَاعْتَزِلْهَا حَتَّی تُکَفِّرَ عَنْکَ

Narrated Ikrimah: A man made his wife like the back of his mother. He then had intercourse with her before he atoned for it. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of this matter. He asked (him): What moved you to the action you have committed? He replied: I saw the whiteness of her shins in moon light. He said: Keep away from her until you expiate for your deed.

عِكْرِمَةَ ← الحكم بن أبان ← سُفْيَانَ، ← إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ الطَّالَقَانِيُّ

Ikrimah said “A man made his wife like the back of his mother. When he saw the illumination of her shin in the moonlight, he had intercourse with her. He came to the Prophet ﷺ. He ordered him to atone for it.
