حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَقَالَ أَتَعْرِفُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَإِنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ حَائِضًا فَانْطَلَقَ عُمَرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ بَدَا لَهُ طَلَاقُهَا طَلَّقَهَا فِي قُبُلِ عِدَّتِهَا قَالَ ابْنُ بَكْرٍ أَوْ فِي قُبُلِ طُهْرِهَا فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ أَيُحْسَبُ طَلَاقُهُ ذَلِكَ طَلَاقًا قَالَ نَعَمْ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَجَزَ وَاسْتَحْمَقَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5025
It was narrated from Yoonus ibn Jubayr that he asked Ibn 'Umar about a man who divorced his wife when she was menstruating. He said: Do you know 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar? He divorced his wife when she was menstruating, and 'Umar went to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and told him about that- The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Tell him to take her back, then if he wants to divorce her, he should divorce her at the beginning of her 'iddah." Ibn Bakr said: "or at the beginning of her purity." I said to Ibn 'Umar: Was that counted as one divorce (talaaq)? He said: Yes, even if he failed and acted foolishly.
