Sunan Ibn Majah 1687 (Book 7, Hadith 50) #31039
The Strength of the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's strength in controlling his desires, even when fasting.

It was narrated that Ibrahim said: "Al-Aswad and Masruq entered upon 'Aishah and said: 'Did the Messenger of Allah touch (his wife) when he was fasting?’ She said: 'He used to do that, and he was the strongest of all of you in controlling his desire.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ دَخَلَ الأَسْوَدُ وَمَسْرُوقٌ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالاَ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يُبَاشِرُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ وَكَانَ أَمْلَكَكُمْ لإِرْبِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the strength of character and self-control that was exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad. It was narrated by Ibrahim that two men, Al-Aswad and Masruq, asked 'Aishah if the Messenger of Allah touched his wife while he was fasting. She replied that he did so, but he was stronger than all of them in controlling his desires. This hadith highlights how important it is to have control over one's own desires and urges, especially during times when we are trying to be closer to God through fasting or prayer. It also shows us how much respect and reverence we should have for our beloved prophet who demonstrated such a high level of self-control despite being human like us.
