Hadith #150
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ تَطْلِيقَةً وَاحِدَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ تَطْلِيقَةً وَاحِدَةً وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا وَيُمْسِكَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ ثُمَّ تَحِيض
َ عِنْدَهُ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ مِنْ حَيْضَتِهَا فَإِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا فَلْيُطَلِّقْهَا حِينَ تَطْهُرُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا فَتِلْكَ الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لِأَحَدِهِمْ أَمَّا أَنْتَ طَلَّقْتَ امْرَأَتَكَ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَنِي بِهَا فَإِنْ كُنْتَ طَلَّقْتَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَقَدْ حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَكَ وَعَصَيْتَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فِيمَا أَمَرَكَ مِنْ طَلَاقِ امْرَأَتِكَ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Yunus, from Layth, from Nafi' — that 'Abdullah [ibn 'Umar] divorced his wife while she was menstruating — a single divorce — during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. 'Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, 'Abdullah has divorced his wife while she is menstruating — a single divorce.' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to take her back and keep her until she became pure, then menstruated again, then became pure from that menstruation. If he then wished to divorce her, he should divorce her when she became pure before having relations with her — that is the 'idda [waiting period] that Allah (تعالى) has commanded that women be divorced in accordance with.' And whenever 'Abdullah was asked about this, he would say to the person: 'If you divorced your wife once or twice, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me [to revoke it], and you may do so. But if you divorced her three times, she has become forbidden to you until she marries another husband, and you have disobeyed Allah (تعالى) in what He commanded regarding the divorce of your wife.'
