في قوله تعالى: ﴿نساؤكم حرث لكم﴾
On the verse: "Your wives are a tilth for you"
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 17507 — On the verse: "Your wives are a tilth
١٧٥٠٧ - حدثنا وكيع عن علي بن علي قال: سمعت الحسن يقول: كان المشركون لا (يألون) (١) ما شددوا (على) (٢) المسلمين ويقولون: لا يحل لكم أن تأتوا النساء إلا من وجه واحد فأنزل اللَّه (تعالى) (٣): ﴿فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ﴾ (٤).
Al-Hasan said: The polytheists used to mock the Muslims, saying that they had great hardships, as they could have intercourse with their wives from one direction only. On this occasion this verse of the Qur'an was revealed: "Your wives are a tilth for you, so come to your tilth however you wish".
