“Al-Aswad and Masruq entered upon ‘Aishah and said: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ touch (his wife) when he was fasting?’ She said: ‘He used to do that, and he was the strongest of all of you in controlling his desire.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1687)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٣٠٩٠أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَ

دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَمَسْرُوقٌ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْنَا أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُبَاشِرُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ؟ قَالَتْ «كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ وَلَكِنْ كَانَ أَمْلَكَ لِإِرْبِهِ مِنْكُمْ»
