أَخْبَرَنِي کَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْدِيُّ قَالَ سُئِلَ الزُّهْرِيُّ کَيْفَ الطَّلَاقُ لِلْعِدَّةِ فَقَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِي فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَذَکَرَ ذَلِکَ عُمَرُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَغَيَّظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ لِيُرَاجِعْهَا ثُمَّ يُمْسِکْهَا حَتَّی تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً وَتَطْهُرَ فَإِنْ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا طَاهِرًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا فَذَاکَ الطَّلَاقُ لِلْعِدَّةِ کَمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَرَاجَعْتُهَا وَحَسَبْتُ لَهَا التَّطْلِيقَةَ الَّتِي طَلَّقْتُهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3423
Nafi’ narrated from ‘Abdullah, that he divorced his wife while she was menstruating. ‘Umar asked the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم about that and said: “Abdullah has divorced his wife while she was menstruating.” He said: “Tell ‘Abdullah to take her back, then leave her until she becomes pure from this menstrual period, then menstruates again, then when she becomes pure again, if he wishes he may separate from her before having intercourse with her, or if he wishes he may keep her. This is the time when Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has stated that women may be divorced.” (Sahih)
