43. Re-Marriage
٤٣۔ كِتَابُ الرَّجْعَةِ
[Machine] The wife of the Prophet ﷺ heard her saying, a woman named Rifaa'a al-Qurathi came to the Prophet ﷺ and she said, "I was with Rifaa'a and he divorced me three divorces, so I spent my 'iddah (waiting period) and then I got married to 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Zubayr, and he only has the amount of hair equivalent to a garment's edge." The Prophet ﷺ smiled and said, "Do you want to go back to Rifaa'a so that you may taste his 'usailah (sexual pleasure), and he may taste yours?" She said, "And Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was with the Prophet ﷺ , as well as Khalid ibn Sa'id ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with them), waiting by the door for the Prophet to permit him. Then he called, 'O Abu Bakr, do you not hear what this woman is loudly saying to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' This hadith is mentioned by al-Shafi'i, and in a narration from al-Za'farani, from 'Aisha, that a woman named Rifaa'a al-Qurathi came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he mentioned the hadith in the same manner, up until his statement, 'so that he may taste your 'usailah and you may taste his,' but he did not mention what came after it.
زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَمِعَهَا تَقُولُ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ رِفَاعَةَ الْقُرَظِيِّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رِفَاعَةَ فَطَلَّقَنِي فَبَتَّ طَلَاقِي فَتَزَوَّجْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ وَإِنَّمَا مَعَهُ مِثْلُ هُدْبَةِ الثَّوْبِ فَتَبَسَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَالَ أَتُرِيدِينَ أَنْ تَرْجِعِي إِلَى رِفَاعَةَ لَا حَتَّى تَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ وَيَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَكِ قَالَتْ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَخَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ ؓ بِالْبَابِ يَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَهُ فَنَادَى يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلَا تَسْمَعُ مَا تَجْهَرُ بِهِ هَذِهِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الزَّعْفَرَانِيِّ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ أَنَّ امْرَأَةَ رِفَاعَةَ الْقُرَظِيِّ جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمِثْلِهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ لَا حَتَّى يَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَكِ وَتَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَا بَعْدَهُ
Rifaʿa Al-Qurazi divorced his wife irrevocably (i.e. that divorce was the final). Later on ʿAbdur- Rahman bin Az-Zubair married her after him. She came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I was Rifaʿa's wife and he divorced me thrice, and then I was married to ʿAbdur-Rahman bin AzZubair, who, by Allah has nothing with him except something like this fringe, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ," showing a fringe she had taken from her covering sheet. Abu Bakr was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ while Khalid Ibn Saʿid bin Al-As was sitting at the gate of the room waiting for admission. Khalid started calling Abu Bakr, "O Abu Bakr! Why don't you reprove this lady from what she is openly saying before Allah's Apostle?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ did nothing except smiling, and then said (to the lady), "Perhaps you want to go back to Rifaʿa? No, (it is not possible), unless and until you enjoy the sexual relation with him (ʿAbdur Rahman), and he enjoys the sexual relation with you." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6084)
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رِفَاعَةَ الْقُرَظِيَّ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَبَتَّ طَلَاقَهَا فَتَزَوَّجَتْ بَعْدَهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ رِفَاعَةَ فَطَلَّقَهَا آخَرُ ثَلَاثَ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ فَتَزَوَّجَتْ بَعْدَهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ وَأَنَّهُ وَاللهِ مَا مَعَهُ إِلَّا مِثْلُ هَذِهِ الْهُدْبَةِ وَأَخَذَتْ بِهُدْبَةٍ مِنْ جِلْبَابِهَا قَالَ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ضَاحِكًا وَقَالَ لَعَلَّكِ تُرِيدِينَ أَنْ تَرْجِعِي إِلَى رِفَاعَةَ لَا حَتَّى تَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ وَيَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَكِ قَالَتْ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَخَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ جَالِسٌ بِبَابِ الْحُجْرَةِ لَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ فَطَفِقَ خَالِدٌ يُنَادِي أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ أَلَا تَزْجُرُ هَذِهِ عَمَّا تَجْهَرُ بِهِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟
[Machine] A woman from the tribe of Qurayzah was married to a man from her tribe, but he divorced her. Then another man from the tribe married her. She went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, he has nothing but this garment." He said, "No, not until he tastes your taste and you taste his taste."
امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ تَزَوَّجَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَطَلَّقَهَا فَتَزَوَّجَهَا آخَرُ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا مَعَهُ إِلَّا مِثْلُ هَذِهِ الْهُدْبَةِ فَقَالَ لَا حَتَّى يَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَكِ وَتَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The first one does not taste the sweetness until the last one tastes it."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَحِلُّ لِلْأَوَّلِ حَتَّى يَذُوقَ الْآخَرُ عُسَيْلَتَهَا وَتَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَهُ
A man divorced his wife and she married another man who proved to be impotent and divorced her. She could not get her satisfaction from him, and after a while he divorced her. Then she came to the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! My first husband divorced me and then I married another man who entered upon me to consummate his marriage but he proved to be impotent and did not approach me except once during which he benefited nothing from me. Can I remarry my first husband in this case?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is unlawful to marry your first husband till the other husband consummates his marriage with you." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5265)
طَلَّقَ رَجُلٌ امْرَأَتَهُ فَتَزَوَّجَتْ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ وَدَخَلَ بِهَا وَمَعَهُ مِثْلُ الْهُدْبَةِ فَلَمْ يَصِلْ مِنْهَا إِلَى شَيْءٍ تُرِيدُهُ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ طَلَّقَهَا فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ زَوْجِي طَلَّقَنِي وَإِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ فَدَخَلَ بِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ إِلَّا مِثْلُ الْهُدْبَةِ فَلَمْ يَقَرَبْنِي إِلَّا هَنَةً وَاحِدَةً لَمْ يَصِلْ مِنِّي إِلَى شَيْءٍ أَفَأَحِلُّ لِزَوْجِيَ الْأَوَّلِ؟ فَقَالَ لَا تَحِلِّينَ لِزَوْجِكِ الْأَوَّلِ حَتَّى يَذُوقَ الْآخَرُ عُسَيْلَتَكِ وَتَذُوقِينَ عُسَيْلَتَهُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, "Do you permit marriage with the first wife?" He replied, "No, until he tastes the bitterness of the new one as the first one tasted."
فَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَحِلُّ لِلْأَوَّلِ؟ قَالَ لَا حَتَّى يَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَهَا كَمَا ذَاقَ الْأَوَّلُ
[Machine] That Rifaa divorced his wife Tamimah bint Wahb three times during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . Then, Abdur-Rahman ibn Zubayr married her, but Rifaa objected to that and he was unable to touch her, so he divorced her without touching. Rifaa wanted to marry her again, even though he had already divorced her once before Abdur-Rahman. This was mentioned to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , and he forbade him from marrying her and told him, "She is not lawful for you until she tastes the honey." And Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Hassan and Abu Zakariyya ibn Abi Ishaq told us that Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, and I am Rabi' ibn Sulayman, I am al-Shafi'i, I am Malik, from al-Miswar ibn Rifaa al-Quradhi, from Zubayr ibn Abdur-Rahman ibn Zubayr, that Rifaa divorced his wife Tamimah bint Wahb. The hadith was mentioned with its meaning, and likewise...
أَنَّ رِفَاعَةَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ تَمِيمَةَ بِنْتَ وَهْبٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا فَنَكَحَهَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فَاعْتَرَضَ عَنْهَا فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا فَطَلَّقَهَا وَلَمْ يَمَسَّهَا فَأَرَادَ رِفَاعَةُ أَنْ يَنْكِحَهَا وَهُوَ زَوْجُهَا الَّذِي كَانَ طَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْ تَزْوِيجِهَا وَقَالَ لَا تَحِلُّ لَكَ حَتَّى تَذُوقَ الْعُسَيْلَةَ 15197 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَا نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أنا الشَّافِعِيُّ أنا مَالِكٌ عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ الْقُرَظِيِّ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ رِفَاعَةَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ تَمِيمَةَ بِنْتَ وَهْبٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] He was asked while on the pulpit about a man who divorced his wife three times, then someone else married her, closed the door, removed the veil, and revealed her face, then divorced her. He said, "She is not permissible for the first man until the other man tastes her honey." This is the wording of the Hadith of Al-'Abdiyy. Al-'Abdiyy also said it in his narration, as did Abu Ahmad Al-Zubayri. The authentic narration is from 'Abd Al-Rahman bin Mahdi, and it was narrated by Waki' once from Sufyan, who narrated from 'Alqamah, from Razeen bin Sulaiman Al-Ahmarri. He was contradicted by Shu'bah in his chain of narrators, so he narrated it from 'Alqamah bin Marthad, from Salim bin Razeen, from Salim bin 'Abdullah, from Sa'id bin Al-Musayyib, from Ibn 'Umar. The Prophet informed us of this and it was narrated by Abu 'Abdullah Al-Hafiz and Abu Bakr Ahmad bin Al-Hasan. They said, "Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad bin Ya'qub informed us, Muhammad bin Ishaq informed me, and I am the successor of Yahya bin Ma'in." They said, "Ghandar informed us, Shu'bah mentioned it to us, and I received it from Muhammad bin Isma'il Al-Bukhari that he weakened the Hadith of Shu'bah and Sufyan together. And Abi Zar'ah said that the Hadith of Sufyan is the most authentic."
ﷺ سُئِلَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا فَتَزَوَّجَهَا غَيْرُهُ وَأَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ وَأَرْخَى السِّتْرَ وَكَشَفَ الْخِمَارَ ثُمَّ فَارَقَهَا قَالَ لَا تَحِلُّ لِلْأَوَّلِ حَتَّى يَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَهَا الْآخَرُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الْعَبْدِيِّ وَكَمَا قَالَ الْعَبْدِيُّ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ قَالَهُ أَيْضًا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ وَالصَّحِيحُ رِوَايَةُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ وَرَوَاهُ وَكِيعٌ مَرَّةً عَنْ سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ رَزِينِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَحْمَرِيِّ 15199 وَخَالَفَهُ شُعْبَةُ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَنَاه أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَا نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَنَا خَلَف وَيَحْيَى بْنِ مَعِين قَالاَ نَا غَنْدَر نَا شُعْبَة فَذَكَرَه وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ مُحَمَّدٌ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلِ البُخَارِي أَنَّهُ وَهَنَ حَدِيث شُعْبَة وَسُفْيَان جَمِيعاً وَعَنْ أَبِي زَرْعَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ حَدِيثُ سُفْيَان أَصَح 15200 فَقَدْ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, and he said, "It is not permissible for him until he tastes her discharge and she tastes his discharge."
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ حَتَّى يَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَهَا وَتَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَهُ
[Machine] In His saying, "If he divorces her, she shall not be lawful for him until she marries another husband." [Al-Baqarah 230], He means that if he divorces her three times, she will not be lawful for him until she marries another husband. Then He said, "If he divorces her, then there is no sin upon them if they return to each other." [Al-Baqarah 230], meaning that if she marries someone else after the first husband, and the second husband then has sexual intercourse with her, there is no harm for the first husband to marry her if the second husband divorces her or dies. And it has been narrated from Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad about the death of the second husband for her, before touching her, that it is not lawful for her first husband to marry her.
فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {فَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدُ حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ} [البقرة 230] يَقُولُ إِنْ طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ {فَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا أَنْ يَتَرَاجَعَا} [البقرة 230] يَقُولُ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَتْ بَعْدَ الْأَوَّلِ فَدَخَلَ بِهَا الْآخَرُ فَلَا حَرَجَ عَلَى الْأَوَّلِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا إِذَا طَلَّقَهَا الْآخَرُ أَوْ مَاتَ عَنْهَا وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي مَوْتِ الثَّانِي عَنْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا لَا يَحِلُّ لِزَوْجِهَا الْأَوَّلِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا
