ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ هَذَا الزَّجْرَ زَجْرُ حَتْمٍ، لَا زَجْرُ نَدْبٍ

ibnhibban:4121al-Ḥusayn b. Idrīs al-Anṣārī > Aḥmad b. Abū Bakr > Mālik > al-Miswar b. Rifāʿah al-Quraẓī > al-Zubayr b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. al-Zubayr

[Machine] It is said that Rifaa'ah ibn Samaw'al divorced his wife, Tamimah bint Wahb, three times during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then, Abdul Rahman ibn Al-Zubair married her but was unable to consummate the marriage, so he divorced her. Rifaa'ah wanted to marry her again, despite being her first husband who had divorced her. He mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who forbade him from marrying her and said, "She is not lawful for you until she has tasted the sweetness of marriage with another man."  

ابن حبّان:٤١٢١أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ الْقُرَظِيِّ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ

أَنَّ رِفَاعَةَ بْنَ سَمَوْأَلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ تَمِيمَةَ بِنْتَ وَهْبٍ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا فَنَكَحَهَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا فَفَارَقَهَا فَأَرَادَ رِفَاعَةُ أَنْ يَنْكِحَهَا وَهُوَ زَوْجُهَا الْأَوَّلُ الَّذِي كَانَ طَلَّقَهَا فَذَكَرَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَهَاهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا وَقَالَ «لَا تَحِلُّ لَكَ حَتَّى تَذُوقَ الْعُسَيْلَةَ»

malik:28-18Yaḥyá > Mālik > al-Miswar b. Rifāʿah al-Quraẓī > al-Zubayr b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. al-Zabīr

Yahya related to me from Malik from al-Miswar ibn Rifaa al- Quradhi from az-Zubayr ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn az-Zubayr that Rifaa ibn Simwal divorced his wife, Tamima bint Wahb, in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ three times. Then she married Abd ar-Rahman ibn az-Zubayr and he turned from her and could not consummate the marriage and so he parted from her. Rifaa wanted to marry her again and it was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he forbade him to marry her. He said, "She is not halal for you until she has tasted the sweetness of intercourse."  

مالك:٢٨-١٨حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ الْقُرَظِيِّ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الزَّبِيرِ

أَنَّ رِفَاعَةَ بْنَ سِمْوَالٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ تَمِيمَةَ بِنْتَ وَهْبٍ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلاَثًا فَنَكَحَتْ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الزَّبِيرِ فَاعْتَرَضَ عَنْهَا فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا فَفَارَقَهَا فَأَرَادَ رِفَاعَةُ أَنْ يَنْكِحَهَا وَهُوَ زَوْجُهَا الأَوَّلُ الَّذِي كَانَ طَلَّقَهَا فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَهَاهُ عَنْ تَزْوِيجِهَا وَقَالَ لاَ تَحِلُّ لَكَ حَتَّى تَذُوقَ الْعُسَيْلَةَ
