أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يُونُسَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِي وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَأَتَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُمَرُ فَذَکَرَ لَهُ ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ يَعْنِي فَإِنْ شَائَ فَلْيُطَلِّقْهَا قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ فَاحْتَسَبْتَ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُهَا أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَجَزَ وَاسْتَحْمَقَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3590
Ibn ‘Umar said: “I divorced my wife when she was menstruating. ‘Umar went to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and told him about that. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم: ‘Tell him to take her back, then iwben she becomes pure, if he wants let him divorce her.” I said to Ibn ‘Umar: “Did that count as one divorce?” He said: “Why not? What do you think if some becomes helpless and behaves foolishly.” (Sahih)
