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."

طَلَّقَ رَجُلٌ امْرَأَتَهُ فَتَزَوَّجَتْ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ فَطَلَّقَهَا وَكَانَتْ مَعَهُ مِثْلُ الْهُدْبَةِ فَلَمْ تَصِلْ مِنْهُ إِلَى شَىْءٍ تُرِيدُهُ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ طَلَّقَهَا فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ زَوْجِي طَلَّقَنِي وَإِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ فَدَخَلَ بِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ إِلاَّ مِثْلُ الْهُدْبَةِ فَلَمْ يَقْرَبْنِي إِلاَّ هَنَةً وَاحِدَةً لَمْ يَصِلْ مِنِّي إِلَى شَىْءٍ فَأَحِلُّ لِزَوْجِي الأَوَّلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَحِلِّينَ لِزَوْجِكِ الأَوَّلِ حَتَّى يَذُوقَ الآخَرُ عُسَيْلَتَكِ وَتَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ

ahmad:25920Abū Muʿāwiyah > Hishām b. ʿUrwah from his father > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] A man divorced his wife, and then she married another husband. He entered upon her while he had something similar to a whip with him, but he did not touch her except with a single strike that did not cause any harm. She mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ and asked, "Should I allow my first husband to be intimate with me?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not allow your first husband to be intimate with you until your second husband tastes your sweetness and you taste his sweetness."
