(25). 2978. (Another chain) with similar in meaning. (Another chain) from Jābir who said: “The Jews would say: ‘Whoever goes into his wife’s vagina from behind her, then his child will be cross-eyed.’ So Allāh revealed: Your wives are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth when or how you will.”[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

٢٩٧٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، عَنْ ‌حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ‌ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسٍ نَحْوَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ. ٢٩٧٨ (م) - حَدَّثَنَا ‌ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ : سَمِعَ ‌جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: «كَانَتِ الْيَهُودُ تَقُولُ مَنْ أَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ فِي قُبُلِهَا» مِنْ دُبُرِهَا كَانَ الْوَلَدُ أَحْوَلَ، فَنَزَلَتْ: {نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ} هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

The wife of a person is a means of having children, the place of sowing the seed (for children) is a woman's vagina, her front private part. So this is the intended place for intercourse, but no form and style is specified for it. Sexual intercourse may be made making her lie on her back, and may be from behind, but nevertheless the place of entering for intercourse is particular, which is only the vagina.
