حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ آدَمَ عَنْ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ وَيَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ح و أَخْبَرَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالُوا إِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَذَکَرَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا حَتَّی تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَی فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ فَإِنْ شَائَ طَلَّقَهَا وَإِنْ شَائَ أَمْسَکَهَا فَإِنَّهُ الطَّلَاقُ الَّذِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ قَالَ تَعَالَی فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3591
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that he divorced his wife when she was menstruating. ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, mentioned that to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he said: “Tell him to take her back until she menstruates again, then when she becomes pure, if he wants he may divorce her and if he wants he may keep her. This is the divorce that Allah has enjoined. Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, says: ‘The divorce is twice, after that, either you retain her on reasonable terms or release her with kindness.” (Sahih)
