English translation

3904. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever goes to a fortuneteller" – Mūsā (one of the narrators) said in his Hadīth: "and believes what he says," – Then the two reports concur: "or has intercourse with a woman" – Musad-dad (one of the narrators) said: "his wife" – "when she is menstruating, or has intercourse with a woman" – Musad-dad said: "his wife" – "in her back passage, has nothing to do with that which was revealed to Muḥammad ﷺ." (Hasan)

3904 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ حَكِيمٍ الْأَثْرَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَتَى كَاهِنًا» قَالَ مُوسَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ «فَصَدَّقَهُ بِمَا يَقُولُ» ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا «أَوْ أَتَى امْرَأَةً» قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: «امْرَأَتَهُ حَائِضًا أَوْ أَتَى امْرَأَةً» قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: «امْرَأَتَهُ فِي دُبُرِهَا فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِمَّا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ»
