It is narrated from the noble wife of the Prophet ﷺ, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), that the wife of Rifa’ah (al-Qurazi) came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Rifa’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) divorced me, and it was an irrevocable (final) divorce. Then ‘Abdur Rahman bin Zubair married me, but he has something like the edge of a garment (i.e., he is impotent). So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Do you wish to return to Rifa’ah? That is not permissible until you taste his (your current husband’s) sweetness and he tastes yours.”

It is narrated from Zubair bin Abdur Rahman bin Zubair that Rifa’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) divorced his wife Tamimah bint Wahb three times during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then Abdur Rahman bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) married her, but he separated from her before consummating the marriage. So Rifa’ah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was her first husband and had divorced her, wanted to marry her again. This matter was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ, so he forbade him from marrying her and said: “She is not lawful for you until she tastes the sweetness of marriage with her present husband.”
