Hadith 26698

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَابِطٍ ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَتْ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَى الْأَنْصَارِ تَزَوَّجُوا مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ ، وَكَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ يُجَبُّونَ ، وَكَانَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ لَا تُجَبِّي ، فَأَرَادَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ، فَأَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى تَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَتْ : فَأَتَتْهُ ، فَاسْتَحْيَتْ أَنْ تَسْأَلَهُ ، فَسَأَلَتْهُ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ ، فَنَزَلَتْ : نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ سورة البقرة آية 223 , وَقَالَ : " لَا ، إِلَّا فِي صِمَامٍ وَاحِدٍ " ، وقَالَ وَكِيعٌ : ابْنُ سَابِطٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the men of the Ansar did not approach their women from the back, because the Jews used to say that whoever approaches his wife from behind, his offspring will be cross-eyed. When the Muhajireen came to Madinah Munawwarah, they also married Ansari women and would approach them from behind, but one woman refused to obey her husband in this matter and said that until I ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about its ruling, you cannot do this. So that woman came to Hazrat Umm Salamah and mentioned it to her. Hazrat Umm Salamah said, "Sit down, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will be here soon." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, the woman felt shy to ask this question, so she left. Later, Hazrat Umm Salamah informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Call that Ansari woman!" So she was called, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse before her: "Your wives are your tilth, so come to your tilth as you wish," and said, "In the front opening (whether the man comes from behind or from the front)."
