(1). 3299. Salamah bin Ṣakhr Al-Anṣārī said: "I was a man who had an issue with intercourse with a women that none other than me had. When (the month of) Ramaḍān entered, I pronounced Zihār upon my wife (to last) until the end of Ramaḍān, fearing that I might have an encounter with her during the night, and I would continue doing that until daylight came upon me, and I would not be able to stop. One night while she was serving me, something of her became exposed for me, so I rushed myself upon her. When the morning came I went to my people to inform them about what happened to me. I said: 'Accompany me to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to inform him about my case.' They said: 'No by Allāh! We shall not do that, we fear that something will be revealed about us in the Qur'an, or the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ might say something about us, the disgrace of which will remain upon us. But you go and do whatever you want.'" He said: "So I left and I went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and informed him of my case. He said: 'You are the one who did that?' I said: 'I am the one.' He said: 'You are the one who did that?' I said: 'I am the one.' He said: 'You are the one who did that?' I said: 'I am the one, it is I before you, so give me Allāh's Judgement, for I shall be patient with that.' He said: 'Free a slave.'" He said: "I struck the sides of my neck with my hands, and said: 'No by the One Who sent you with the Truth! I possess nothing besides it.' He said: 'Then fast for two months' I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Did this occur to me other than when I was fasting?' He said: 'Then feed sixty poor people.' I said: 'By the One Who sent you with the Truth! We have spent these nights of ours hungry without an evening meal.' He said: 'Go to the one with the charity from Banū Ruzaīq, tell him to give it to you, then feed a Wasq of it, on your behalf, to sixty poor people. Then help yourself and your dependants with the remainder of it.” He said: “I returned to my people and said: ‘I found dejection and bad ideas with you, and I found liberalness and blessing with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He ordered me to take your charity, so give it to me.’ So they gave it to me.” (Da’if) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan. Muḥammad said: “To me, Sulaimān bin Yasār did not hear from Salamah bin Ṣakhr.” He said: He is called Salamah bin Ṣakhr, and he is also called Salmān bin Ṣakhr. And there is something on this topic from Khawlah bint Tha’labah, and she is the wife of Aws bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit.

٣٢٩٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، ‌وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ ‌سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ ‌سَلَمَةَ بْنِ صَخْرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: «كُنْتُ رَجُلًا قَدْ أُوتِيتُ مِنْ جِمَاعِ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَمْ يُؤْتَ غَيْرِي، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَمَضَانُ تَظَاهَرْتُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي حَتَّى يَنْسَلِخَ رَمَضَانُ فَرَقًا» مِنْ أَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْهَا فِي لَيْلِي، فَأَتَتَابَعَ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَنْ يُدْرِكَنِي النَّهَارُ وَأَنَا لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَنْزِعَ، فَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ تَخْدُمُنِي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ إِذْ تَكَشَّفَ لِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَوَثَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ عَلَى قَوْمِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ خَبَرِي، فَقُلْتُ: انْطَلِقُوا مَعِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُخْبِرُهُ بِأَمْرِي، فَقَالُوا: لَا وَاللهِ لَا نَفْعَلُ، نَتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِينَا قُرْآنٌ، أَوْ يَقُولَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَقَالَةً يَبْقَى عَلَيْنَا عَارُهَا، وَلَكِنِ اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ، فَاصْنَعْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ خَبَرِي، فَقَالَ: أَنْتَ بِذَاكَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَنَا بِذَاكَ، قَالَ: أَنْتَ بِذَاكَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَنَا بِذَاكَ، قَالَ: أَنْتَ بِذَاكَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَنَا بِذَاكَ، وَهَا أَنَذَا، فَأَمْضِ فِيَّ حُكْمَ اللهِ، فَإِنِّي صَابِرٌ لِذَلِكَ. قَالَ: أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً. قَالَ: فَضَرَبْتُ صَفْحَةَ عُنُقِي بِيَدِي، فَقُلْتُ: لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَصْبَحْتُ أَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهَا، قَالَ: فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَهَلْ أَصَابَنِي مَا أَصَابَنِي إِلَّا فِي الصِّيَامِ؟ قَالَ: فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا. قُلْتُ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ بِتْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هَذِهِ وَحْشَى مَا لَنَا عَشَاءٌ، قَالَ: اذْهَبْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ صَدَقَةِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ فَقُلْ لَهُ فَلْيَدْفَعْهَا إِلَيْكَ، فَأَطْعِمْ عَنْكَ مِنْهَا وَسْقًا سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا، ثُمَّ اسْتَعِنْ بِسَائِرِهِ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى عِيَالِكَ. قَالَ: فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى قَوْمِي، فَقُلْتُ: وَجَدْتُ عِنْدَكُمُ الضِّيقَ وَسُوءَ الرَّأْيِ، وَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّعَةَ وَالْبَرَكَةَ، أَمَرَ لِي بِصَدَقَتِكُمْ فَادْفَعُوهَا إِلَيَّ، فَدَفَعُوهَا إِلَيَّ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ عِنْدِي مِنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ صَخْرٍ. وَيُقَالُ: سَلَمَةُ بْنُ صَخْرٍ، وَسَلْمَانُ بْنُ صَخْرٍ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ خَوْلَةَ بِنْتِ ثَعْلَبَةَ وَهِيَ امْرَأَةُ أَوْسِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ.

Commentary

Zihār refers to one saying to his wife, “To me, you are like the back of my mother i.e. you are unlawful to me for cohabitation just like my mother.” Saying so by naming any body part of any woman who is forbidden for marriage has the same ruling. A wife would become unlawful forever by saying these words in the time of Jahiliyyah. But Islamic Sharī‘ah ruled to carry out expiation for it, because it is a very bad and serious mistake. Its expiation is to set free a male or female slave, if it is not possible then the fasting of two successive months are to be observed, if this is also not possible then one should feed sixty persons poor.
