Sunan Abi Dawud 2049 (Book 12, Hadith 4) #22340
Enjoying One's Spouse Despite Temptation

SUMMARY: A man asked the Prophet ﷺ for advice on how to handle his wife who does not prevent the hand of a man who touches her. The Prophet advised him to divorce her, but if he was afraid of his inner self coveting her, then he should enjoy her.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A man came to the Prophet , and said: My wife does not prevent the hand of a man who touches her. He said: Divorce her. He then said: I am afraid my inner self may covet her. He said: Then enjoy her.
قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ كَتَبَ إِلَىَّ حُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي لاَ تَمْنَعُ يَدَ لاَمِسٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ غَرِّبْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَخَافُ أَنْ تَتْبَعَهَا نَفْسِي ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَاسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man who came to the Prophet and asked for advice regarding his wife. The man said that his wife did not prevent other men from touching her and so the Prophet advised him to divorce her. However, if he was afraid that he would be tempted by his own desires towards his wife then he should enjoy her instead. This hadith teaches us that it is important to be mindful of our own temptations and desires when it comes to our spouses and that we should strive for balance in our relationships with them. We must also remember that marriage is a sacred bond between two people and so we must respect each other’s boundaries in order to maintain harmony within the relationship.
