English translation
3231. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbās that a man came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: "I have a wife who is one of the most beloved of the people to me, but she does not object if anyone touches her." He said: "Divorce her." He said: "I cannot do without her." He said: "Then stay with her as much as you need to." (Saḥīḥ) Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān (An-Nasā'ī) said: This Hadīth is not reliable. 'Abdul-Karīm is not that strong (a narrator) and Hārūn bin Rī'āb is more reliable than him, and he narrated it in Mursal form. Hārūn is trustworthy, and his narration is more worthy of being considered correct than 'Abdul-Karīm's narration.
