Sahih Muslim 1403c (Book 16, Hadith 12) #10547
Dealing with Attraction Outside of Marriage

SUMMARY: This hadith is about how to deal with feelings of attraction towards someone other than one's spouse.

Jabir heard Allah's Apostle say: When a woman fascinates any one of you and she captivates his heart, he should go to his wife and have an intercourse with her, for it would repel what he feels.
وَحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ قَالَ جَابِرٌ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَحَدُكُمْ أَعْجَبَتْهُ الْمَرْأَةُ فَوَقَعَتْ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَلْيَعْمِدْ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فَلْيُوَاقِعْهَا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يَرُدُّ مَا فِي نَفْسِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari, speaks about how to deal with feelings of attraction towards someone other than one's spouse. It advises that if a person feels attracted to another person, they should go and have intercourse with their own spouse as this would repel the feeling they have for the other person. This hadith teaches us that it is important to remain faithful and loyal in marriage and not be tempted by attractions outside of it. It also encourages us to take action when we feel tempted by something outside our marriage so that we can remain true to our commitment. Furthermore, it reminds us that having intercourse with our own spouses can help us stay away from temptations outside our marriages.
