Arabic (Original)
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 مِنْ 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 } وَقَالَ لَا إِلَّا فِي صِمَامٍ وَاحِدٍ و قَالَ وَكِيعٌ ابْنُ سَابِطٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ.
English Translation
Waki' told us: Sufyan told us, from Abdullah b. Uthman b. Khuthaym, from Abd al-Rahman b. Abdullah b. Sabit, from Hafsah bint Abd al-Rahman, from Umm Salamah, who said: When the Emigrants came to Medina to the Helpers, they married their women. The Emigrants used to approach from behind in intercourse, while the Ansar did not do so. A man of the Emigrants wanted this of his wife, but she refused him until she could ask the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. She said: She came to him but was too shy to ask him, so Umm Salamah asked him on her behalf, and there was revealed: "Your wives are a tilth for you, so come to your tilth however you wish." And he said, "Only through one opening." Waki' said: "Ibn Sabit was a man of Quraysh."
