The wife of Rifaʿa Al-Qurazi came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I was Rifaʿa's wife, but he divorced me and it was a final irrevocable divorce. Then I married ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Az-Zubair but he is impotent." The Prophet ﷺ asked her 'Do you want to remarry Rifaʿa? You cannot unless you had a complete sexual relation with your present husband." Abu Bakr was sitting with Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Khalid bin Saʿid bin Al-ʿAs was at the door waiting to be admitted. He said, "O Abu Bakr! Do you hear what this (woman) is revealing frankly before the Prophet ﷺ ?"  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ رِفَاعَةَ الْقُرَظِيِّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رِفَاعَةَ فَطَلَّقَنِي فَأَبَتَّ طَلاَقِي فَتَزَوَّجْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الزَّبِيرِ إِنَّمَا مَعَهُ مِثْلُ هُدْبَةِ الثَّوْبِ فَقَالَ أَتُرِيدِينَ أَنْ تَرْجِعِي إِلَى رِفَاعَةَ لاَ حَتَّى تَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ وَيَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَكِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَهُ وَخَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ بِالْبَابِ يَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلاَ تَسْمَعُ إِلَى هَذِهِ مَا تَجْهَرُ بِهِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

The wife of Rifaʿa Al-Qurazi came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Rifaʿa divorced me irrevocably. After him I married ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi who proved to be impotent." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Perhaps you want to return to Rifaʿa? Nay (you cannot return to Rifaʿa) until you and ʿAbdur-Rahman consummate your marriage."  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةَ رِفَاعَةَ الْقُرَظِيِّ جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ رِفَاعَةَ طَلَّقَنِي فَبَتَّ طَلاَقِي وَإِنِّي نَكَحْتُ بَعْدَهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الزَّبِيرِ الْقُرَظِيَّ وَإِنَّمَا مَعَهُ مِثْلُ الْهُدْبَةِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَعَلَّكِ تُرِيدِينَ أَنْ تَرْجِعِي إِلَى رِفَاعَةَ لاَ حَتَّى يَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَكِ وَتَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ  

There came the wife of Rifa'a to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and said: I was married to Rifa'a but he divorced me, making may divorce irrevocable. Afterwards I married Abd al-Rahman b. al-Zubair, but all he possesses is like the fringe of a garment (i. e. he is sexually weak). Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled, and said: Do you wish to return to Rifa'a. (You) cannot (do it) until you have tasted his sweetness and he ('Abd al-Rahman) has tasted your sweetness. Abu Bakr was at that time near him (the Holy Prophet) and Khalid (b. Sa'id) was at the door waiting for the permission to be granted to him to enter), He (Khalid) said; Abu Bakr, do you hear what she is saying loudly in the presence of Messenger of Allah ﷺ?
