Hadith 6.1

Marriage

ENGLISH

Jabir declared that the Jews used to say:

“When a man has intercourse with his wife through the vagina, but being on her back, the child will have a squint,” so the verse came down, “Your wives are a tilth to you, so come to your tilth however you will” (Al-Qur’an 2:223). (Bukhari and Muslim.)

ARABIC

عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: كَانَتِ الْيَهُودُ تَقُولُ: إِذَا أَتَى الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ مِنْ دُبُرِهَا فِي قُبُلِهَا كَانَ الْوَلَد أَحول فَنزلت: (نساوكم حرث لكم فَأتوا حَرْثكُمْ أَنى شِئْتُم)
