Sahih al-Bukhari 1927 (Book 30, Hadith 35) #1848
Controlling Desires While Fasting

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) had the power to control his desires even while fasting, and it is recommended for those who are affected by looking at their wives to complete their fast.

Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet used to kiss and embrace (his wives) while he was fasting, and he had more power to control his desires than any of you. Said Jabir, "The person who gets discharge after casting a look (on his wife) should complete his fast".
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يُقَبِّلُ وَيُبَاشِرُ، وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ، وَكَانَ أَمْلَكَكُمْ لإِرْبِهِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ‏{‏مَآرِبُ‏}‏ حَاجَةٌ‏.‏ قَالَ طَاوُسٌ ‏{‏أُولِي الإِرْبَةِ‏}‏ الأَحْمَقُ لاَ حَاجَةَ لَهُ فِي النِّسَاءِ‏.‏
