Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 908

حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ رِفَاعَةَ الْقُرَظِيِّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَقَالَتْ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رِفَاعَةَ فَطَلَّقَنِي، فَأَبَتَّ طَلَاقِي، فَتَزَوَّجْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمنِ بْنَ الزَّبِيرِ، إِنَّمَا مَعَهُ مِثْلُ هُدْبَةِ الثَّوْبِ، فَقَالَ: أَتُرِيدِينَ أَنْ تَرْجِعِي إِلَى رِفَاعَةَ لَا، حَتَّى تَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ وَيَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَكِ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَهُ، وَخَالِدُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ بِالْبَابِ يَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ يُؤذَنَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكَرٍ أَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَى هذِهِ، مَا تَجْهَرُ بِهِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ.

Narrated 'Aisha رضي الله عنها : The wife of Rifâ'a Al-Qurazi came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, "I was Rifâ'a's wife, but he divorced me and it was a final irrevocable divorce. Then I married 'Abdur-Rahmân Az-Zubair but he is impotent." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked her, "Do you want to re-marry Rifâ'a? You cannot unless you enjoy a complete sexual relation with your present husband and he with you." Abû Bakr was sitting with Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and Khâlid bin Sa'îd bin Al-'As was at the door waiting to be admitted. He said, "O Abû Bakr! Do you hear what this (woman) is revealing frankly before the Prophet ﷺ." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 807, Vol. 3 )
