Arabic (Original)
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 تَحِيضَ 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
Yunus told us, Layth told us, from Nafi', that Abdullah divorced his wife with a single pronouncement of divorce while she was menstruating, during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Umar said: "O Messenger of Allah, Abdullah has divorced his wife with a single pronouncement of divorce while she was menstruating." So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded him to take her back and keep her until she becomes pure, then menstruates again another time, then to let her have a respite until she becomes pure from that menstruation. Then, if he wishes to divorce her, let him divorce her when she is pure, before having intercourse with her - for that is the waiting period which Allah, the Exalted, commanded that women be divorced according to. And Abdullah, whenever he was asked about that, would say to one of them: "As for you, if you divorced your wife once or twice, then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded me [to convey] that to you. But if you have divorced her three times, then she has become forbidden to you until she marries another husband, and you have disobeyed Allah, the Exalted, in what He commanded you regarding the divorce of your wife."
