أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ رَزِينٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الرَّجُلِ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ يُطَلِّقُهَا ثُمَّ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَيُطَلِّقُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَتَرْجِعَ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا الأَوَّلِ قَالَ " لاَ حَتَّى تَذُوقَ الْعُسَيْلَةَ " .
Amr bin Ali narrated to us; Muhammad bin Ja'far narrated to us; Shu'bah narrated to us. Alqamah bin Marthad said: I heard Salim bin Razin relate from Salim bin Abdullah, from Sa'id bin al-Musayyab, from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet, concerning a man who has a wife and divorces her, then another man marries her and divorces her before consummating the marriage, after which she returns to her first husband. He said, ‘No, not until she tastes the sweetness.’
Translation notes
‘Tastes the sweetness’ preserves the Arabic euphemistic expression for marital intercourse.
