It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man (Salamah bin Sakhr) pronounced zihar upon his wife (said to her: "You are to me like the back of my mother"), then he saw her in the moonlight, she pleased him, so he had intercourse with her. Then he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, not say: 'Before they touch each other'?" He replied: "I saw her and she pleased me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Refrain until you have offered the expiation."

Sayyiduna Salamah bin Sakhr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I made zihar from my wife, then I had intercourse with her. So I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and he ordered me: "Feed sixty needy people."
