Volume 6, Book 60, Number 35:
Narrated Al-Bara:
When the order of compulsory fasting of Ramadan was revealed, the people did not have sexual
relations with their wives for the whole month of Ramadan, but some men cheated themselves (by
violating that restriction). So Allah revealed:– “Allah is aware that you were deceiving yourselves
but He accepted your repentance and for gave you..” (3.187)
