nasai-kubra:5623Muḥammad b. Rāfiʿ al-Naysābūrī > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > al-Ḥakam b. Abān > ʿIkrimah > Taẓāhar a man from Āmraʾatih Faʾaṣābahā Qabl > Yukaffir Fadhakar Dhalik Lilnnabī ﷺ

"A man declared Zihar to his wife, then had intercourse with her before he had offered the expiation. He mentioned that to the Prophet. The Prophet said to him: 'What made you do that?' He said: 'May Allah have mercy on you, O Messenger of Allah. I saw her anklets, or her calves, in the light of the moon.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Keep away from her until you have done that which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has commanded.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3458)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٥٦٢٣أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ تَظَاهَرَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ فَأَصَابَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ

لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ رَحِمَكَ اللهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْتُ خَلْخَالَهَا أَوْ سَاقَيْهَا فِي ضَوْءِ الْقَمَرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَاعْتَزِلْهَا حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ مَا أَمَرَكَ اللهُ»
