Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī

Pretending to have what one was not given

bukhari:5219 – Sulaymān b. Ḥarb > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Hishām > Fāṭimah > Asmāʾ > the Prophet ﷺ; Muḥammad b. al-Muthannā > Yaḥyā > Hishām > Fāṭimah > Asmāʾ

A woman said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I have a co-wife. Is there any sin upon me if I pretend to have received from my husband what he does not give me?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The one who pretends to have what he was not given is like one wearing two garments of falsehood."

البخاري:٥٢١٩ – حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؛ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَتْنِي فَاطِمَةُ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ لِي ضَرَّةً، فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ جُنَاحٌ إِنْ تَشَبَّعْتُ مِنْ زَوْجِي غَيْرَ الَّذِي يُعْطِينِي؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «الْمُتَشَبِّعُ بِمَا لَمْ يُعْطَ كَلاَبِسِ ثَوْبَىْ زُورٍ»

muslim:2130a – Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. Numayr > ʿAbdah > Hishām > Fāṭimah

I have a co-wife. Is there any harm for me if I give her the false impression (of getting something from my husband which he has not in fact given me)? Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The one who creates such a (false impression) of receiving what one has not been given is like one who wears the garment of falsehood.

مسلم:٢١٣٠a – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ

[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a need. Is it permissible for me to satisfy myself with my husband in a way that he does not satisfy me?"

Abu Abdur Rahman said, "This is the correct answer, and what was said before it is incorrect." 8873 Muhammad bin Adam informed us, from Abdah, from Hisham, from Fatimah, from Asma, she said, "A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned something similar."
