[AI] When a man comes to his wife desiring intercourse, Umm Salamah asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this, and he said, "Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth however you like." (Qur'an 2:223)

أحمد:٢٦٦٤٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ ابْنِ سَابِطٍ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ [قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ] قَالَ أَبِي وَفِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتْهَا

عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَأْتِي امْرَأَتَهُ مُجَبِّيَةً فَسَأَلَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ {نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ} [البقرة 223] صِمَامًا وَاحِدًا

" Your wives are your ti'Ith; go then unto your tilth, as you may desire."

مسلم:١٤٣٥بوَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّ يَهُودَ كَانَتْ تَقُولُ إِذَا أُتِيَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ دُبُرِهَا فِي قُبُلِهَا ثُمَّ حَمَلَتْ كَانَ وَلَدُهَا أَحْوَلَ قَالَ فَأُنْزِلَتْ { نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ}

abudawud:2163Ibn Bashhār > ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Sufyān > Muḥammad b. al-Munkadir > Jābir

Muhammad bin Al Munkadir said I heard Jabir say The Jews used to say “When a man has intercourse with his wife through the vagina, but being on her back the child will have a squint, so the verse came down. Your wives are a tilth to you, so come to your tilth however you will.”

أبو داود:٢١٦٣حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ يَقُولُونَ إِذَا جَامَعَ الرَّجُلُ أَهْلَهُ فِي فَرْجِهَا مِنْ وَرَائِهَا كَانَ وَلَدُهُ أَحْوَلَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى { نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ }

"The Jews would say: "Whoever goes into his wife's vagina from behind her, then his children will be cross-eyed.' So Allah revealed: Your wives are a tilth for your, so go to your tilth when or how you will (2:223)."

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīḥ.

When a man has intercourse with his wife through the vagina but being on her back. the child will have squint, so the verse came down:" Your wives are your tilth; go then unto your tilth as you may desire" (ii. 223) (Using translation from Muslim 1435a)

[AI] From Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , it is narrated that a woman entered upon her and asked the Prophet ﷺ about a man who approaches a woman, both of them facing each other, and the Prophet ﷺ entered and felt shy. Umm Salamah informed him about the woman, and he said, "Send her back to me. Your women are like a fertile land for you, so approach your land however you wish." Then he recited the verse, "Your women are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth as you will" [Qur'an 2:223], meaning they can approach from any direction through one passage.
