Abdullah bin Abbas narrates that a man came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who had intercourse with his wife after declaring zihar upon her, and said: O Messenger of Allah! I had declared zihar upon my wife and had intercourse with her before giving the expiation. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: May Allah have mercy on you, what made you do this? He said: I saw her anklets shining in the moonlight. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Do not go near her until you fulfill Allah’s command.
