It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man set out for the prayer (towards the mosque), and on the way his wife came in front of him; he inclined towards her and touched her. Then he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not forbid him (from this act).
No one narrated this hadith from Imam Zufar (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abu Ali al-Hanafi (may Allah have mercy on him).
