حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَابِسٍ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ شَهِدْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعِيدَ أَضْحًی أَوْ فِطْرًا قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَوْلَا مَکَانِي مِنْهُ مَا شَهِدْتُهُ يَعْنِي مِنْ صِغَرِهِ قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّی ثُمَّ خَطَبَ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ أَذَانًا وَلَا إِقَامَةً ثُمَّ أَتَی النِّسَائَ فَوَعَظَهُنَّ وَذَکَّرَهُنَّ وَأَمَرَهُنَّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَرَأَيْتُهُنَّ يَهْوِينَ إِلَی آذَانِهِنَّ وَحُلُوقِهِنَّ يَدْفَعْنَ إِلَی بِلَالٍ ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ هُوَ وَبِلَالٌ إِلَی بَيْتِهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 5251
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: that he had divorced his wife while she was menstruating during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle . `Umar bin Al-Khattab asked Allah's Apostle about that. Allah's Apostle said, "Order him (your son) to take her back and keep her till she is clean and then to wait till she gets her next period and becomes clean again, whereupon, if he wishes to keep her, he can do so, and if he wishes to divorce her he can divorce her before having sexual intercourse with her; and that is the prescribed period which Allah has fixed for the women meant to be divorced."
