5825. Narrated 'Ikrima: Rifā'a divorced his wife whereupon 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. 'Aishah said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her ('Aishah) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came, 'Aishah said, "I have not seen the women suffering as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!" When 'Abdur-Rahmān heard that his wife had gone to the Prophet ﷺ, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, "By Allāh! I have done no wrong to him, but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding and showing the fringe of her garment. 'Abdur-Rahmān said, "By Allāh, O Allāh's Messenger! She has told a lie! I am very strong and can satisfy her but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifā'a." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to re-marry Rifā'a unless 'Abdur-Rahmān has had sexual intercourse with you." Then the Prophet ﷺ saw two boys with 'Abdur-Rahmān and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that 'Abdur-Rahmān said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You claim what you claim (i.e., that he is impotent)? But by Allāh, these boys resemble him as a crow resembles a crow."
