[Machine] I heard Al-Hasan saying, "The Jews used to make it difficult for the Muslims by saying, 'O companions of Muhammad, it is not permissible for you to have relations with your wives except from one position.' Then Allah revealed, 'Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish' [Quran 2:223]. Thus, Allah made a distinction between the believers and their needs."  

الدارمي:١١٦٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الرِّفَاعِيُّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ كَانَتِ الْيَهُودُ لَا تَأْلُو مَا شَدَّدَتْ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ يَا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَأْتُوا نِسَاءَكُمْ إِلَّا مِنْ وَجْهٍ وَاحِدٍ قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ} [البقرة 223] فَخَلَّى اللَّهُ بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَبَيْنَ حَاجَتِهِمْ
