[Machine] Some people from the tribe of Himyar came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about certain matters. One of them said, "I love women and I like to approach my wife from the front and from behind. What do you think about that?" So Allah revealed the verse, "Your wives are a place of cultivation for you, so come to your cultivation however you wish." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Approach her from the front or from behind, as long as it is in the lawful place."  

الطبراني:١٢٩٨٣حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ حَنَشٍ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنْ حِمْيَرَ أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَسْأَلُونَهُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ النِّسَاءَ وَأُحِبُّ أَنْ آتِيَ امْرَأَتِي مُجَبِّيَةً فَكَيْفَ تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ} فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «ائْتِهَا مُقْبِلَةً وَمُدْبِرَةً إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْفَرْجِ»
