Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا فَتِلْكَ الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ الرَّجُلِ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ يَقُولُ إِمَّا أَنْتَ طَلَّقْتَهَا وَاحِدَةً أَوْ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقَهَا إِنْ لَمْ يُرِدْ إِمْسَاكَهَا وَإِمَّا أَنْتَ طَلَّقْتَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فِيمَا أَمَرَكَ بِهِ مِنْ طَلَاقِ امْرَأَتِكَ وَبَانَتْ مِنْكَ وَبِنْتَ مِنْهَا.
English Translation
Abd al-Wahhab ibn Abd al-Majid narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Nafi', that Ibn Umar divorced his wife while she was menstruating, so Umar asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about it, and he ordered him to take her back, then give her respite until she menstruates again, then give her respite until she becomes pure, then divorce her before he has touched her - that being the waiting period which God commanded for the divorce of women. And Ibn Umar, whenever asked about a man who divorces his wife while she is menstruating, would say: "Either you divorced her once or twice, in which case the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered him to take her back, give her respite until she menstruates again, then give her respite until she becomes pure, then divorce her if he does not wish to keep her; or you divorced her three times, in which case you have disobeyed God in what He commanded you regarding your wife's divorce, and she has been separated and cut off from you."
