Subchapter

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "He who has intercourse with a woman through her anus is accursed." [Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i reported it and the wording is his (an-Nasa'i). Its narrators are reliable, but it was considered to be defective for being Mursal (a missing link after the Tabi'i)].

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Allah will not look at a man who has intercourse with a man or a woman through the anus." [Reported by at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Hibban, but it was considered to be defective for being Mawquf (saying of a Companion, i.e. Ibn 'Abbas)].

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He who believes in Allah and the last Day should not harm his neighbor; and take my advice regarding good treatment of women, for they were created from a rib. And indeed the most crooked part of the rib is its upper part. If you attempt to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it alone it will remain crooked. So, take my advice regarding good treatment of women." [Agreed upon; the wording is al-Bukhari's]. Muslim has: "So if you enjoy her you will do so while crookedness remains in her; but if you attempt to straighten her you will break her, and breaking her is divorcing her."

Narrated Jabir (RA): We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) on an expedition. Then, when we arrived at al-Madinah and were about to enter he said, "Wait so that you may enter by night - i.e. in the evening in order that the woman with disheveled hair may comb it and the woman whose husband has been away may shave her pubic hairs (getting ready for her husband)." [Agreed upon]. A narration by al-Bukhari has: "When one of you has been away from home for a long time, he must not come to his family during the night."

Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The worst of people in position before Allah on the Day of Resurrection is the man who has intercourse with his wife, and she with him, and then spreads her secrets." [Reported by Muslim].

Narrated Hakim bin Mu'awiyah on the authority of his father (RA): I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what are the rights of a wife of one of us on her husband?" He replied, "You should give her food when you eat, clothe her when you clothe yourself, not strike her on the face, and do not revile her or desert her except within the house." [Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah, al-Bukhari mentioned part of it [the last sentence] as Mu'allaq (a broken chain from the side of the collector, i.e. al-Bukhari), Ibn Hibban and al-Hakim graded it Sahih (authentic)].

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA): The Jews used to say, "When a man has intercourse with his wife through the vagina, but from her back side, the child will be squint-eyed." Then, the Verse came down: "Your wives are a tilth to you, so come to your tilth however you wish [2:223]." [Agreed upon; the wording is Muslim's].

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "If anyone who intends to have intercourse with his wife says, 'In the Name of Allah. O Allah, keep us away from the devil and keep the devil away from what You have provided us (of children)', should it be ordained that a child be born to them thereby, Satan will never harm it." [Agreed upon].

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "When a man calls his wife to come to his bed (for marital relations), and she refuses to come, and he spends the night in anger, the angels curse her till the morning." [Agreed upon; the wording is al-Bukhari's]. Muslim has: "He Who is in heaven is displeased with her till her husband is pleased with her."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA): "The Prophet (ﷺ) cursed the woman who joins false hair to her real hair [extensions] and the one who asks for it to be done to her; and the woman who tattoos (others) and the one who has it done (for her). [Agreed upon].

Narrated Judamah (RA) daughter of Wahb: I was with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with some people when he was saying, "I have intended to prohibit Ghila (sexual intercourse with a woman who is breast-feeding), but I considered the Romans and the Persians and saw that they engaged in Ghila without any injury being caused to their children thereby." Then they asked him about 'Azl (withdrawing the penis before emission of semen, to avoid conception), and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "That is the secret (way of) burying alive." [Reported by Muslim]

Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA): A man said, "O Allah's Messenger, I have a slave-girl and I withdraw the penis while having intercourse with her ('Azl). I dislike that she become pregnant, but I want (from her) what a man wants (from a woman). And the Jews say - withdrawing the penis to avoid conception is the minor (form of) burying alive." He replied, "The Jews told a lie, for if Allah intended to create it you would not be able to turn it away." [Reported by Ahmad and Abu Dawud, the wording is Abu Dawud's. an-Nasa'i and at-Tahawi also reported it. Its narrators are reliable].

Narrated Jabir (RA): In the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when the Qur'an was being revealed, we used to engage in 'Azl. Hence, if it had been something forbidden, the Qur'an would have forbade us from doing it. [Agreed upon]. And Muslim has: "That (which we were doing) reached the Prophet (ﷺ) and he did not forbid us from doing it."

Narrated Anas bin Malik (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) used to have intercourse with his wives (one after another), with a single bathing. [Agreed upon. The wording is Muslim's].
