abudawud:2222al-Zaʿfarānī > Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah > al-Ḥakam b. Abān > ʿIkrimah

‘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.  

أبو داود:٢٢٢٢حَدَّثَنَا الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً ظَاهَرَ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ فَرَأَى بَرِيقَ سَاقِهَا فِي الْقَمَرِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ

abudawud:2221Isḥāq b. Ismāʿīl al-Ṭālqānī > Sufyān > al-Ḥakam b. Abān > ʿIkrimah > a man Ẓāhar from Āmraʾatih Thum Wāqaʿahā Qabl

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.  

أبو داود:٢٢٢١حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَبَانَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً ظَاهَرَ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ ثُمَّ وَاقَعَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ سَاقَيْهَا فِي الْقَمَرِ قَالَ فَاعْتَزِلْهَا حَتَّى تُكَفِّرَ عَنْكَ

[Machine] That "he pretended with his wife and fell on her before he could expiate, so the Prophet ﷺ ordered him to perform one kaffarah."  

الطبراني:٦٣٣٢حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ صَخْرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ

أَنَّهُ «تَظَاهَرَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِكَفَّارَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ»
