أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ الصَّاغَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْجَوَّابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارٌ هُوَ ابْنُ رُزَيْقٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ قَالَتْ طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي فَأَرَدْتُ النُّقْلَةَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ انْتَقِلِي إِلَی بَيْتِ ابْنِ عَمِّکِ عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمِّ مَکْتُومٍ فَاعْتَدِّي فِيهِ فَحَصَبَهُ الْأَسْوَدُ وَقَالَ وَيْلَکَ لِمَ تُفْتِي بِمِثْلِ هَذَا قَالَ عُمَرُ إِنْ جِئْتِ بِشَاهِدَيْنِ يَشْهَدَانِ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَاهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِلَّا لَمْ نَتْرُکْ کِتَابَ اللَّهِ لِقَوْلِ امْرَأَةٍ لَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3584
It was narrated that Fatimah bint Qais said: “My husband divorced me and I wanted to move, so I went to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he said: ‘Move to the house of your paternal cousin ‘Amr bin Umm Maktum, and observe your ‘Iddah there.” Al-Aswad hit him (Ash-Sha’bl) with a pebble and said: “Woe be to you! Why do you issue such a Fatwa? ‘Umar said: ‘If you bring two witnesses who will testify that they heard that from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم (we will believe you), otherwise, we will not leave the Book of Allah for the word of a woman.’ ‘And turn them not out of their (husband’s) homes nor shall they (themselves) leave, except in case they are guilty of some open Fahishah. “ (Sahih)
