Sunan an-Nasai 3420 (Book 27, Hadith 32) #18032
The Severest Form of Expiation

SUMMARY: A man came to Ibn 'Abbas and said he had forbidden himself from his wife, but Ibn 'Abbas told him that was not allowed and recited a verse from the Quran. He then said the man must offer the severest form of expiation, which is freeing a slave.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "A man came to him and said: 'I have made my wife forbidden to myself'. He said: 'You are lying, she is not forbidden to you'. Then he recited this Verse: 'O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you'. (And he said): 'You have to offer the severest form of expiation: Freeing a slave'."
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي جَعَلْتُ امْرَأَتِي عَلَىَّ حَرَامًا ‏.‏ قَالَ كَذَبْتَ لَيْسَتْ عَلَيْكَ بِحَرَامٍ ثُمَّ تَلاَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ ‏{‏ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ ‏}‏ عَلَيْكَ أَغْلَظُ الْكَفَّارَةِ عِتْقُ رَقَبَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how one should not forbid themselves from something that Allah has allowed them to do. In this case, it was a man who wanted to forbid himself from his wife, but Ibn 'Abbas told him that was not allowed and recited a verse from the Quran. He then said the man must offer the severest form of expiation for this action, which is freeing a slave. This teaches us that we should always follow Allah's commands and if we make mistakes or disobey Him in any way, we must repent by offering an appropriate expiation for our actions. We should also remember that freeing slaves is one of the most important forms of expiations as it helps those who are oppressed or enslaved in any way.
