[Machine] Omar came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am ruined." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "What has ruined you?" Omar replied, "My caravan has been diverted and nothing has been returned to me." Then the verse was revealed: "Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish." He ﷺ said, "Approach and turn away from your wives, and be cautious of blood and menstruation."
