A similar tradition has been transmitted by Ibn Abbas from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم through a different chain of narrators. This version does not mention the word“shin”.

Narrated Ikrimah: A man made his wife like the back of his mother. He then had intercourse with her before he atoned for it. He came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and informed him of this matter. He asked (him): What moved you to the action you have committed? He replied: I saw the whiteness of her shins in moon light. He said: Keep away from her until you expiate for your deed.

Ikrimah said“A man made his wife like the back of his mother. When he saw the illumination of her shin in the moonlight, he had intercourse with her. He came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . He ordered him to atone for it.
