If a wife sees a man and he pleases her, should she disclose that to her husband?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

This hadith was narrated by Muslim on the authority of Jabir ibn Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saw a woman, so he "went to his wife Zaynab, who was tanning a raw hide of hers. He fulfilled his need, then went out to his Companions and said: 'Indeed, a woman approaches in the form of a devil and retreats in the form of a devil. So, if one of you sees a woman, let him go to his wife, for that will repel what is in his heart.'" The hadith came in reference to a man, and a woman can be analogously applied to it if she feels desire upon looking at a man; she may then ask her husband to fulfill her need.
