Ibn 'Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) reported:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ، وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا، ثُمَّ لِيَتْرُكْهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ تَحِيضَ، ثُمَّ تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَ بَعْدُ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ طَلَّقَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ، فَتِلْكَ الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ.
He divorced his wife while she was menstruating during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم). 'Umar bin Khattib (رضی اللہ عنہ) asked Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about it, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said: Command him ('Abdullah bin 'Umar) to take her back (and keep her) and pronounce divorce when she is purified and she again enters the period of menstruation and she is again purified (after passing the period of menses), and then if he so desires he may keep her and if he desires divorce her (finally) before touching her (without having an intercourse with her), for that is the period of waiting ('ldda) which God, the Exalted and Glorious, has commanded for the divorce of women.
Abdullah (bin 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ) reported:
) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ رُمْح، وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى، قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ: حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّهُ «طَلَّقَ امْرَأَةً لَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ تَطْلِيقَةً وَاحِدَةً، فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا، ثُمَّ يُمْسِكَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ تَحِيضَ عِنْدَهُ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى، ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ مِنْ حَيْضَتِهَا، فَإِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا فَلْيُطَلِّقْهَا حِينَ تَطْهُرُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا، فَتِلْكَ الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللهُ أَنْ يُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ»، وَزَادَ ابْنُ رُمْح فِي رِوَايَتِهِ: وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ لِأَحَدِهِمْ: أَمَّا أَنْتَ طَلَّقْتَ امْرَأَتَكَ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَنِي بِهَذَا، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ طَلَّقْتَهَا ثَلَاثًا، فَقَدْ حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْكَ، حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَكَ، وَعَصَيْتَ اللهَ فِيمَا أَمَرَكَ مِنْ طَلَاقِ امْرَأَتِكَ، قَالَ مُسْلِمٌ: «جَوَّدَ اللَّيْثُ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَطْلِيقَةً وَاحِدَةً».
He divorced a wife of his with the pronouncement of one divorce during the period of menstruation. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commanded him to take her back and keep her until she was purified, and then she entered the period of menses in his (house) for the second time. And he should wait until she was purified of her menses. And then if he would decide to divorce her, he should do so when she was purified before having a sexual intercourse with her; for that was the 'Idda which Allah had commanded for the divorce of women. Ibn Rumh in his narration made this addition: When 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ was asked about it, he said to one of them: If you have divorced your wife with one pronouncement or two (then you can take her back), for Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) commanded me to do it; but if you have divorced her with three pronouncements, then she is forbidden for you until she married another husband, and you disobeyed Allah in regard to the divorce of your wife what He had commanded you. (Muslim said: The word one divorce used by Laith is good.)
Ibn Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) reported:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِي عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا، ثُمَّ لِيَدَعْهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى، فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ فَلْيُطَلِّقْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا، أَوْ يُمْسِكْهَا، فَإِنَّهَا الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللهُ أَنْ يُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ». قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ: قُلْتُ لِنَافِعٍ: مَا صَنَعَتِ التَّطْلِيقَةُ؟ قَالَ: «وَاحِدَةٌ اعْتَدَّ بِهَا.
I divorced my wife during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) when she was in the state of menses. 'Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ ) made a mention of it to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), whereupon he said: Command him to take her back and leave her (in that state) until she is purified. Then (let her) enter the period of second menses, and when she is purified, then divorce her (finally) before having a sexual intercourse with her, or retain her (finally). That is the 'Idda (the prescribed period) which Allah commanded (to be kept in view) while divorcing the women. 'Ubaidullah reported: I said to Nafi': What became of that divorce (pronounced within 'Idda)? He said: It was as one which she counted.
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ . نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَوْلَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ لِنَافِعٍ . قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى فِي رِوَايَتِهِ فَلْيَرْجِعْهَا . وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا .
A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of 'Ubaidullah, but he made no mention of the words of Ubaidullah that he said to Nafi'.
