Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ تَطْلِيقَةً وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا قَالَ وَتِلْكَ الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ الرَّجُلِ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَيَقُولُ أَمَّا أَنَا فَطَلَّقْتُهَا وَاحِدَةً أَوْ اثْنَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُرْجِعَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ طَلَّقْتَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ اللَّهَ بِمَا أَمَرَكَ بِهِ مِنْ طَلَاقِ امْرَأَتِكَ وَبَانَتْ مِنْكَ.
English Translation
Isma'il told us, Ayyub told us, from Nafi': that Ibn Umar divorced his wife with one divorce while she was menstruating. Umar asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about it, and he ordered him to take her back, then let her be until she menstruates again, then let her be until she becomes pure, then divorce her before touching her. He said: That is the waiting period that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, commanded that women be divorced within. So whenever Ibn Umar was asked about a man who divorces his wife while she is menstruating, he would say: As for me, I divorced her once or twice; then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered him to take her back, then let her be until she menstruates again, then let her be until she becomes pure, then divorce her before touching her. But as for you, if you divorced her three times, you have disobeyed Allah in what He commanded you regarding the divorce of your wife, and she is separated from you.
