"I was a man who had a lot of desire for women, and I do not think there was any man who had as great a share of that as me. When Ramadan began, I declared Zihar upon my wife (to last) until Ramadan ended. While she was talking to me one night, part of her body became uncovered. I jumped on her and had intercourse with her. The next morning I went to my people and told them, and said to them: 'Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for me.' They said: 'We will not do that, lest Allah reveal Quran concerning us or the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says, something about us, and it will be a lasting source of disgrace for us. Rather we will leave you to deal with it yourself. Go yourself and tell the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about your problem.' So I went out and when I came to him, I told him what happened. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Did you really do that?' I said: 'I really did that, and here I am, O Messenger of Allah. ﷺ I will bear Allah’s ruling on me with patience.' He said: 'Free a slave.' I said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truth, I do not own anything but myself.' He said: 'Fast for two consecutive months.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the thing that happened to me was only because of fasting.' He said: 'Then give charity, or feed sixty poor persons.' I said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truttu we spent last night with no dinner.' He said: 'Then go to the collector of charity of Banu Zuraiq, and tell him to give you something, then feed sixty poor persons, and benefit from the rest.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2062)   

كُنْتُ امْرَأً أَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ لَا أَرَى رَجُلًا كَانَ يُصِيبُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا أُصِيبُهُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَمَضَانُ ظَاهَرْتُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي حَتَّى يَنْسَلِخَ رَمَضَانُ فَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ تُحَدِّثُنِي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَكُشِفَ لِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَوَثَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَوَاقَعْتُهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ عَلَى قَوْمِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ خَبَرِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ سَلُوا لِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا مَا كُنَّا لِنَفْعَلَ إِذًا يَنْزِلُ فِينَا مِنَ اللهِ كِتَابٌ أَوْ يَكُونُ فِينَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَوْلٌ فَيَبْقَى عَارُهُ عَلَيْنَا وَلَكِنْ سَوْفَ نُسَلِّمُكَ بِجَرِيرَتِكَ فَاذْهَبْ أَنْتَ فَاذْكُرْ شَأْنَكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى جِئْتَهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْتَ بِذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَنَا بِذَلِكَ وَهَذَا أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَابِرٌ لِحُكْمِ اللهِ عَلَيَّ قَالَ فَأَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ قُلْتُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَصْبَحْتُ أَمْلِكُ إِلَّا رَقَبَتِي هَذِهِ قَالَ فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهَلْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ مَا دَخَلَ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ إِلَّا بِالصَّوْمِ؟ قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقْ أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ قُلْتُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ بِتْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هَذِهِ مَا لَنَا مِنْ عَشَاءٍ قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ صَدَقَةِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ فَقُلْ لَهُ فَلْيَدْفَعْهَا إِلَيْكَ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَانْتَفِعْ بِبَقِيَّتِهَا  

the Prophet ﷺ said concerning a man who declared Zihar upon his wife having intercourse with her before compensation: "Let him offer one expiation." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2064)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الْمُظَاهِرِ يُوَاقِعُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ قَالَ كَفَّارَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ  

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَدْ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي ظَاهَرْتُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ أُكَفِّرَ قَالَ وَمَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ؟ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ خَلْخَالَهَا فِي ضَوْءِ الْقَمَرِ قَالَ فَلَا تَقْرَبْهَا حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ مَا أَمَرَ اللهُ ﷻ 15260 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ نا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلِيَّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحُرَيْثِ أنا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَعْنَى هَذَا وَبِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] That he should ask for forgiveness, so he came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. He said, "What prompted you to do what you did?". He replied, "I saw the whiteness of her calves in the moonlight." He said, "Separate yourself from her until you are forgiven." Then he said, "And that was narrated to me by Yazid bin Ayoub, from Ismail, from Al-Hakam bin Aban, from Ikrimah, from the Prophet ﷺ in a similar manner, but he did not mention the calves and likewise  

أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ سَاقِهَا فِي الْقَمَرِ قَالَ فَاعْتَزِلْهَا حَتَّى تُكَفِّرَ عَنْكَ 15262 قَالَ وَنا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ نا إِسْمَاعِيلُ نا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَبَانَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ السَّاقَ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have engaged in sexual intercourse with my wife before completing her purification (from menstruation)." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "What led you to do that?" The man replied, "The moon appeared to me and I desired her, so I engaged with her before her purification was complete." The Prophet ﷺ advised him, "Refrain from her until she completes her purification."  

أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي ظَاهَرْتُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي فَوَقَعْتُ بِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ أُكَفِّرَ قَالَ وَمَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ أَبْدَى لِيَ الْقَمَرُ خَلْخَالَيْهَا فَوَقَعْتُ بِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ أُكَفِّرَ قَالَ كُفَّ عَنْهَا حَتَّى تُكَفِّرَ  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I had relations with my wife and I saw the whiteness of her ankles in the moonlight, and it amazed me, so I approached her." He said, "Did you not hear what Allah said before you came into contact?" He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, I did." He said, "Hold yourself back from her until she attains purification."  

أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي ظَاهَرْتُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي فَرَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ خَلْخَالِهَا فِي الْقَمَرِ فَأَعْجَبَنِي فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ أَوَ مَا قَالَ اللهُ {مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَتَمَاسَّا} [المجادلة 3]؟ قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَمْسِكْ عَنْهَا حَتَّى تُكَفِّرَ  

[Machine] About the jurists from the people of Madinah, they used to say that whoever engages in sexual intercourse with his wife and then divorces her before he has to offer expiation for the act of intercourse, and then he marries her again after that, he is not required to offer the expiation for the act of intercourse until he has to offer expiation for engaging in sexual intercourse outside of marriage.  

عَنِ الْفُقَهَاءِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ مَنْ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا حَتَّى يُكَفِّرَ كَفَّارَةَ الظِّهَارِ
