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