Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 27, Hadith 34
Ka’b bin Malik narrated the Hadith about when he stayed behind, and did not join the Messenger of Allah on the expedition to Tabuk. He told the story, and said: “The envoy of the Messenger of Allah came to me and said: ‘The Messenger of Allah commands you to stay away from your wife.’ I said: ‘Shall I divorce her or what?’ He said: ‘No, just keep away from her and do not approach her.’ I said to my wife: ‘Go to your family and stay with them until Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, decides concerning this matter.'”
