Hazrat Marrah Hamdani narrates that once a Jew met a Muslim and said to him, "Do you have intercourse with your wives from behind?" He thus expressed dislike for the manner in which a man stands behind and enters his wife's private part. On this occasion, this verse of the Holy Qur'an was revealed: { نِسَاؤُکُمْ حَرْثٌ لَکُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَکُمْ أَنَّی شِئْتُمْ } "Your wives are your fields; so come to your fields as you wish." In this verse, Allah Almighty has given Muslims permission that they may have intercourse with their wives' private parts in any manner they wish, whether from the front or from behind.
