حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ جَائَتْ امْرَأَةُ رِفَاعَةَ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ زَوْجِي طَلَّقَنِي فَأَبَتَّ طَلَاقِي وَإِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ بَعْدَهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الزَّبِيرِ وَمَا مَعَهُ إِلَّا مِثْلُ هُدْبَةِ الثَّوْبِ فَضَحِکَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ لَعَلَّکِ تُرِيدِينَ أَنْ تَرْجِعِي إِلَی رِفَاعَةَ لَا حَتَّی يَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَکِ وَتَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3443
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The wife of Rifa’ah Al Qura came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم when Abu Bakr was with him, and she said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ! I was married to Rifa’ah Al Qura and he divorced me, and made it irrevocable. Then I married ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Az Zabir, and by Allah, o Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, what he has is like this fringe;’ and she held up a fringe of her Jilbab. Khalid bin Saeed was at the door and he did not let him in. He said: ‘Abu Bakr? Do you not hear this woman speaking in such an audacious manner in the presence of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم?’ He said: ‘Do you want to go back to Rifa’ah? No, not until you taste his sweetness and he tastes your sweetness.” (Sahih)
