I heard al-Bara’ ᴿᴬ say: When the fasting of Ramadan was prescribed, they would not go near women for the whole of Ramadan, and some men would betray themselves. So Allah revealed: “Allah knows that you used to betray yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and pardoned you.” (Baqarah 2:187)
سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ؓ يَقُولُ: لَمَّا نَزَلَ صَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ، كَانُوا لَا يَقْرَبُونَ النِّسَاءَ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ، وَكَانَ رِجَالٌ يَخُونُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ:{عَلِمَ اللَّهُ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَخْتَانُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَعَفَا عَنْكُمْ}
