English narration

Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري

Jabir said “The Prophet ﷺ saw a woman so he entered upon Zainab daughter of Jahsh and had intercourse with her. He ﷺ then came out and said to his companions and said to them “A woman advances in the form of a devil. When one of you finds that he should go to his wife (and have intercourse with her) for that will repel what he is feeling.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى امْرَأَةً فَدَخَلَ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ مِنْهَا ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : "

إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تُقْبِلُ فِي صُورَةِ شَيْطَانٍ ، فَمَنْ وَجَدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَلْيَأْتِ أَهْلَهُ ، فَإِنَّهُ يُضْمِرُ مَا فِي نَفْسِهِ

" .
