2213. It was reported from Salamah bin Ṣakhr (Al-Bayādhī), who said: "I was a man who used to be effected by women much more than others. So when the month of Ramaḍān came, I feared that I would do with my wife an act that would remain with me until morning. Therefore, I pronounced Zihār on her until the end of the month of Ramaḍān. Once, while she was helping me one night, I saw a portion of her (body), and could not refrain from falling upon her. The next morning, I went out to my people and informed them of what had occurred, and said:
‘Come with me to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.’ They said: ‘No, by Allāh!’ So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him (of what occurred). He said: ‘You are the one, O Abū Salamah?’ I said: ‘I am the one, O Messenger of Allāh,’ twice, ‘and I will bear patiently the Decree of Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, so judge upon me however Allāh wishes you to.’ He said: ‘Free a slave.’ I said, placing my hand on my back: ‘I swear by the One Who has send you with the truth, I own no back except this.’ He said: ‘Then fast for two consecutive two continuous months.’ I replied: ‘And how else was this caused except because of fasting?!’ He said: ‘Then feed a Wasaq of dates among sixty needy people.’ I said: ‘I swear by the One Who has send you with the truth, we spent the night hungry, having no food.’ So he said: ‘Then go to the one who is in charge of the charity of Banū Zuraīq, and ask him to give it to you, and feed sixty needy people with a Wasaq of dates, and feed yourselves and your family the remainder of it.’ So I returned to my people and said: ‘I found with you narrowness and evil opinion, and I found with the Prophet ﷺ ease and good opinion. And he commanded me to take your charity.’ (Da’if)
(One of the narrators) Ibn Al-A’lā’ added: “Ibn Idrīs said: ‘Bayādah is a branch of Banū Zuraīq.’”

2213 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، - قَالَ ابْنُ الْعَلَاءِ: ابْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ - عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ صَخْرٍ قَالَ: ابْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الْبَيَاضِيُّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ امْرَأً أُصِيبُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَا يُصِيبُ غَيْرِي، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ خِفْتُ أَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنَ امْرَأَتِي شَيْئًا يُتَابَعُ بِي حَتَّى أُصْبِحَ، فَظَاهَرْتُ مِنْهَا حَتَّى يَنْسَلِخَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ، فَبَيْنَا هِيَ تَخْدُمُنِي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، إِذْ تَكَشَّفَ لِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ، فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ نَزَوْتُ عَلَيْهَا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى قَوْمِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمُ الْخَبَرَ، وَقُلْتُ امْشُوا مَعِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالُوا: لَا وَاللَّهِ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ بِذَاكَ يَا سَلَمَةُ؟»، قُلْتُ: أَنَا بِذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَأَنَا صَابِرٌ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ، فَاحْكُمْ فِيَّ مَا أَرَاكَ اللَّهُ، قَالَ: «حَرِّرْ رَقَبَةً»، قُلْتُ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَمْلِكُ رَقَبَةً غَيْرَهَا، وَضَرَبْتُ صَفْحَةَ رَقَبَتِي، قَالَ: «فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ»، قَالَ: وَهَلْ أَصَبْتُ الَّذِي أَصَبْتُ إِلَّا مِنَ الصِّيَامِ، قَالَ: «فَأَطْعِمْ وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ بَيْنَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا»، قُلْتُ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ بِتْنَا وَحْشَيْنِ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ، قَالَ: «فَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ صَدَقَةِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ فَلْيَدْفَعْهَا إِلَيْكَ، فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَكُلْ أَنْتَ وَعِيَالُكَ بَقِيَّتَهَا»، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى قَوْمِي، فَقُلْتُ: وَجَدْتُ عِنْدَكُمُ الضِّيقَ، وَسُوءَ الرَّأْيِ، وَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّعَةَ، وَحُسْنَ الرَّأْيِ، وَقَدْ أَمَرَنِي أَوْ أَمَرَ لِي بِصَدَقَتِكُمْ، زَادَ ابْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ: بَيَاضَةُ بَطْنٌ مِنْ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ
