حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ امْرَأَتِهِ الَّتِي طَلَّقَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ طَلَّقْتُهَا وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ فَذَكَرَهُ عُمَرُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى
اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا إِذَا طَهُرَتْ طَلَّقَهَا فِي طُهْرِهَا لِلسُّنَّةِ قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَسَأَلْتُهُ هَلْ اعْتَدَدْتَ بِالَّتِي طَلَّقْتَهَا وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ قَالَ وَمَا لِي لَا أَعْتَدُّ بِهَا إِنْ كُنْتُ عَجَزْتُ وَاسْتَحْمَقْتُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Muhammad ibn 'Ubayd, from 'Abd al-Malik ibn Abi Sulayman, from Anas ibn Sirin — that he asked Ibn 'Umar about his wife whom he had divorced during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: 'I divorced her while she was menstruating. I mentioned that to 'Umar, and 'Umar mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ. the Prophet ﷺ said: "Tell him to take her back. When she becomes pure, let him divorce her in her state of purity, for the sunnah."' He said: 'So I did.' Anas said: 'I asked him: Did you count the divorce you gave while she was menstruating?' He said: 'Why should I not count it — even if I was incapable and acted foolishly?'
