(66) بَابُ لا يُؤْذِي جَارَهُ
'Umara ibn Ghurab reported that an aunt of his told him that she asked'A'isha, Umm al-Mu'minin, "If a woman's husband desires her and she refusesto give herself to him either because she is angry or not eager, is thereanything wrong in that?" "Yes," she replied. "Part of his right over youis that if he desires you when you are on a saddle, you must not refuse him."She said, "I also asked her, 'If one of us is menstruating and she and herhusband only have a single cover, what should she do?' She replied, 'Sheshould wrap her wrapper around her and sleep with him. He can have what isabove it. I will tell you what the Prophet, may Allah bless him and granthim peace, did on one of his nights with me. I had cooked some barley andmade loaf for him. He came in, stopped at the door, and then went into themosque. When he wanted to sleep, he closed the door, tied up the waterskin,turned the cup over and put out the light. I waited for him and he ate theloaf. He did not go until I fell asleep. Later he felt the cold and cameand got me up. "Warm me! Warm me!" he said. I said, "I am menstruating."He said, "Then uncover your thighs," so I uncovered my thighs and he puthis cheek and head on my thighs until he was warm. Then a pet sheep belongingto our neighbour came in. I went and took the load away. I disturbed theProphet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he woke up, so I chasedthe sheep to the door. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,said, "Take what you got of your loaf and do not injure your neighbour'ssheep."'"
