Sunan an-Nasai 3411 (Book 27, Hadith 23) #18023
Experiencing the Sweetness of Marriage

SUMMARY: The wife of Rifa'ah was divorced and remarried, but the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised her to not go back to her first husband until they both experienced the sweetness of their respective marriages.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The wife of Rifa'ah came to the Messenger of Allah and said: 'My husband divorced me and made it irrevocable. After that I married 'Abdur-Rahman bin Az-Zabir and what he has is like the fringe of a garment'. The Messenger of Allah smiled and said: 'Perhaps you want to go back to Rifa'ah? No, not until he tastes your sweetness and you taste his sweetness'."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ رِفَاعَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ زَوْجِي طَلَّقَنِي فَأَبَتَّ طَلاَقِي وَإِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ بَعْدَهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الزَّبِيرِ وَمَا مَعَهُ إِلاَّ مِثْلَ هُدْبَةِ الثَّوْبِ ‏.‏ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَعَلَّكِ تُرِيدِينَ أَنْ تَرْجِعِي إِلَى رِفَاعَةَ لاَ حَتَّى يَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَكِ وَتَذُوقِي عُسَيْلَتَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about marriage and divorce. It tells us that when a couple gets divorced and one or both parties remarry, it is important for them to experience the sweetness of their new marriage before considering going back to their former spouse. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised this woman not to return to her first husband until she had tasted his sweetness and he had tasted hers. This teaches us that we should be patient in our relationships with others and give them time before making any decisions about our future together. We should also appreciate what we have in our current relationships instead of longing for something else that may not be better than what we already have.
