Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.

ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِمُوَاقَعَةِ امْرَأَتِهِ لِمَنْ رَأَى امْرَأَةً أَعْجَبَتْهُ

ibnhibban:5573Muḥammad b. ʿUbaydullāh b. al-Faḍl al-Kalāʿī Biḥimṣ > Muḥammad b. Ṣadaqah al-Jublānī > Muḥammad b. Khālid al-Wahbī > Ibn Jurayj > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you sees a woman whom he finds attractive, let him return to his family until he can be with them, as that is better for him."  

ابن حبّان:٥٥٧٣أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْكَلَاعِيُّ بِحِمْصَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَدَقَةَ الْجُبْلَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْوَهْبِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي تُعْجِبُهُ فَلْيَرْجِعْ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ حَتَّى يَقَعَ بِهِمْ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مَعَهُمْ»
