6084. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها Rifa'a Al-Qurāzī divorced his wife irrevocably (i.e., that divorce was the final). Later on 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Az-Zubair married her after him. She came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I was Rifa'a's wife and he divorced me thrice, and then I was married to 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Az-Zubair, who, by Allāh has nothing with him except something like this fringe(1) O Allāh's Messenger," showing a fringe she had taken from her covering sheet. Abū Bakr was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ while Khālid bin Sa'īd bin Al-'Ās was sitting at the door of the room waiting for admission. Khālid started calling Abū Bakr, "O Abū Bakr! Why don't you reprove this lady from what she is openly saying before Allāh's Messenger?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did nothing except smiling, and then said (to the lady), "Perhaps you want to go back to Rifā'a? No, (it is not possible), unless and until you enjoy the sexual relation with him ('Abdur-Raḥmān), and he enjoys the sexual relation with you."
