Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، وَمَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَا: أَتَيْنَا عَائِشَةَ رَحِمَهَا اللهُ لِنَسْأَلَهَا عَنِ الْمُبَاشَرَةِ لِلصَّائِمِ، فَاسْتَحْيَيْنَا (٢) فَقُمْنَا قَبْلَ أَنْ نَسْأَلَهَا، فَمَشَيْنَا لَا أَدْرِي كَمْ ثُمَّ؟ قُلْنَا: جِئْنَا لِنَسْأَلَهَا عَنْ حَاجَةٍ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ قَبْلَ أَنْ نَسْأَلَهَا فَرَجَعْنَا فَقُلْنَا: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّا جِئْنَا لِنَسْأَلَكِ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، فَاسْتَحْيَيْنَا (٢) فَقُمْنَا، فَقَالَتْ: مَا هُوَ؟ سَلَا عَمَّا بَدَا لَكُمَا، قُلْنَا: " أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ، يُبَاشِرُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ؟ قَالَتْ: قَدْ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ أَمْلَكَ لِإِرْبِهِ مِنْكُمْ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

Aswad and Masruq say that once we began to ask Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the ruling of "physical intimacy for a fasting person," but we felt shy while asking her, so we stood up without asking her. We had only walked a short distance—"the distance I do not remember"—when it occurred to us that we had gone to her to ask an important matter and returned without asking. Thinking this, we went back and said, O Mother of the Believers! We had come to you to ask a question, but due to shyness, we left without asking. She said, you may ask whatever you wish. We asked her this question, and she replied: Although the Prophet (ﷺ) had more control over his desires than you, the Prophet (ﷺ) would touch his wives' bodies with his own body.
