حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِکٍ يَقُولُ حَزِنْتُ عَلَی مَنْ أُصِيبَ بِالْحَرَّةِ فَکَتَبَ إِلَيَّ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ وَبَلَغَهُ شِدَّةُ حُزْنِي يَذْکُرُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَلِأَبْنَائِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَشَکَّ ابْنُ الْفَضْلِ فِي أَبْنَائِ أَبْنَائِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَسَأَلَ أَنَسًا بَعْضُ مَنْ کَانَ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذَا الَّذِي أَوْفَی اللَّهُ لَهُ بِأُذُنِهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4908
Narrated Salim: That `Abdullah bin `Umar told him that he had divorced his wife while she was in her menses so `Umar informed Allah's Messenger of that. Allah's Messenger became very angry at that and said, "(Ibn `Umar must return her to his house and keep her as his wife till she becomes clean and then menstruates and becomes clean again, whereupon, if he wishes to divorce her, he may do so while she is still clean and before having any sexual relations with her, for that is the legally prescribed period for divorce as Allah has ordered."
