English translation

3442. It was narrated from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Abbās[1] that Al-Ghumaiṣā’ or Ar-Rumaiṣā’ came to the Prophet ﷺ complaining that her husband would not have intercourse with her. It was not long before her husband came and said: “O Messenger of Allāh, she is lying; he is having intercourse with her, but she wants to go back to her first husband.” The Messenger of Allâh ﷻ said: "She cannot do that until she tastes his sweetness."(Sahîh)

Arabic text

3413 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: أَنَّ الْغُمَيْصَاءَ، أَوِ الرُّمَيْصَاءَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَشْتَكِي زَوْجَهَا أَنَّهُ لَا يَصِلُ إِلَيْهَا، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ جَاءَ زَوْجُهَا، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هِيَ كَاذِبَةٌ وَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلَيْهَا، وَلَكِنَّهَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا الْأَوَّلِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ»

Footnotes

  1. 1

    [1] In the narration of Ahmad (1:214, No.1837) and others through the same route, the narrator is ‘Ubaidullāh bin Al-‘Abbās rather than ‘Abdullāh. Also, in reference to the odd manner in which the man spoke about himself; in the narration of Ahmad and others, the statement is about what the man said, not a quote of what the man said.

Commentary

1. That woman according to her claim could not return to her (former) husband in marriage, because according to her, her (new) husband was not able to copulate with her. Unless he copulates with her and divorces her, she cannot return to her former husband. Hence, her own statement went against her. 2. Rumaisâ was the title of Umm Salim, the mother of Anas. But she was another woman.
