The wife of Rifa’a Al-Qurazi came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Rifa’a divorced
me irrevocably. After him I married ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi who proved to be im –

Rifa’a) until you and ‘Abdur-Rahman consummate your marriage.”

Volume 7, Book 63, Number 187:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
A man divorced his wife thrice (by expressing his decision to divorce her thrice), then she married
another man who also divorced her. The Prophet was asked if she could legally marry the first hus –

band consummates his marriage with her, just as the first husband had done.”

Volume 7, Book 63, Number 188:

Narrated ‘Aisha:
A man divorced his wife and she married another man who proved to be impotent and divorced
her. She could not get her satisfaction from him, and after a while he divorced her. Then she came to
the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! My first husband divorced me and then I married another
man who entered upon me to consummate his marriage but he proved to be impotent and did not
approach me except once during which he benefited nothing from me. Can I remarry my first hus –
band in this case?” Allah’s Apostle said, “It is unlawful to marry your first husband till the other hus –
band consummates his marriage with you.”

Volume 7, Book 63, Number 193:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Allah’s Apostle was fond of honey and sweet edible things and (it was his habit) that after finishing
the ‘Asr prayer he would visit his wives and stay with one of them at that time. Once he went to Haf –
sa, the daughter of ‘Umar and stayed with her more than usual. I got jealous and asked the reason for
that. I was told that a lady of her folk had given her a skin filled with honey as a present, and that
she made a syrup from it and gave it to the Prophet to drink (and that was the reason for the delay). I
said, “By Allah we will play a trick on him (to prevent him from doing so).” So I said to Sada bint

Zam’a “The Prophet will approach you, and when he comes near you, say: ‘Have you taken Maghafir

from you?’ He will say to you, ‘Hafsa made me drink honey syrup.’ Then say: Perhaps the bees of that
honey had sucked the juice of the tree of Al-‘Urfut.’ I shall also say the same. O you, Safiyya, say the
same.” Later Sada said, “By Allah, as soon as he (the Prophet ) stood at the door, I was about to say to
him what you had ordered me to say because I was afraid of you.” So when the Prophet came near
Sada, she said to him, “O Allah’s Apostle! Have you taken Maghafir?” He said, “No.” She said. “Then
what is this bad smell which I detect on you?” He said, “Hafsa made me drink honey syrup.” She said,
“Perhaps its bees had sucked the juice of Al-‘Urfut tree.” When he came to me, I also said the same,
and when he went to Safiyya, she also said the same. And when the Prophet again went to Hafsa, she
said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Shall I give you more of that drink?” He said, “I am not in need of it.” Sada
said, “By Allah, we deprived him (of it).” I said to her, “Keep quiet.” ‘
