He forbade anal intercourse with women.

It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī in al-Awsaṭ (8/351/7718) with a good chain of transmission.

Among them is the report of Abū Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “…,” and he cited it.

It was narrated by al-Nasāʾī in al-Kubrā (5/322/9010) and Ibn ʿAsākir in The History of Damascus (1/190–191), through the route of ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Muḥammad al-Ṣanʿānī: Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz narrated to us, from al-Zuhrī, from Abū Salamah, from him.

This is a weak chain of transmission, for this al-Ṣanʿānī is weak in hadith, as stated in al-Taqrīb. Thus, a narrator such as him may be cited as corroborating evidence. Those above him are trustworthy.

Among them is also the report of Khuzaymah ibn Thābit, attributed to the Prophet, with similar wordings, some of which resemble the hadith under discussion. It has been narrated from him through several routes, some of which are authentic. They are cited in Irwāʾ al-Ghalīl (7/65–68), for whoever wishes to consult them.

3378—“Whoever has intercourse with women in their anuses has committed disbelief.”

It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī in al-Muʿjam al-Awsaṭ (9/85/9180): Muwarriʿ ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; he said: ʿUmar ibn Yazīd al-Sayyārī narrated to us; he said: ʿAbd al-Wārith narrated to us [from Layth], from Ayyūb, from Mujāhid, from Abū Hurayrah, attributed to the Prophet. He said:

“No one narrated it from Layth except ʿAbd al-Wārith; ʿUmar ibn Yazīd alone narrated it.”

I say: He is truthful, and those above him are trustworthy, apart from Layth. He is Layth ibn Abī Sulaym al-Ḥimṣī, as is evident from his biographical entry in al-Ḥāfiẓ al-Mizzī’s Tahdhīb, in which he mentioned this ʿAbd al-Wārith—namely, Ibn Saʿīd al-Tannūrī—among those who narrated from him.
