Sunan an-Nasa'i 3457

Al-Husayn bin Hurayth informed us; al-Fadl bin Musa narrated to us, from Ma'mar, from al-Hakam bin Aban, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas: A man came to the Prophet after having pronounced zihar against his wife, and he had intercourse with her. He said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I pronounced zihar against my wife, then had intercourse with her before making expiation.’ He said, ‘What prompted you to do that? May Allah have mercy on you.’ The man said, ‘I saw her anklet in the moonlight.’ He said, ‘Do not approach her until you do what Allah, Mighty and Sublime, has commanded.’
