3285. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The wife of Rifâ'ah came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: 'Rifâ'ah divorced me and made it irrevocable. Then I married 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Az-Zubair, and what he has is like the fringe of a garment.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ smiled and said: 'Do you want to go back to Rifâ'ah? No, not until he ('Abdur-Rahmân) tastes your sweetness and you taste his sweetness.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

3283 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ رِفَاعَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ رِفَاعَةَ طَلَّقَنِي، فَأَبَتَّ طَلَاقِي، وَإِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ بَعْدَهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الزَّبِيرِ، وَمَا مَعَهُ إِلَّا مِثْلُ هُدْبَةِ الثَّوْبِ، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: «لَعَلَّكِ تُرِيدِينَ أَنْ تَرْجِعِي إِلَى رِفَاعَةَ، لَا، حَتَّى يَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَكِ، وَتَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ»

Commentary

'Like the fringe of a garment': This alludes to the lack of his virility.
