أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَيْمَنَ، يَسْأَلُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ وَأَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ يَسْمَعُ كَيْفَ تَرَى فِي رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ حَائِضًا فَقَالَ لَهُ طَلَّقَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لِيُرَاجِعْهَا " . فَرَدَّهَا عَلَىَّ قَالَ " إِذَا طَهُرَتْ فَلْيُطَلِّقْ أَوْ لِيُمْسِكْ " . قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم { يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ } فِي قُبُلِ عِدَّتِهِنَّ .
Muhammad bin Ismail bin Ibrahim and Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Tamim informed me, from Hajjaj, who said: Ibn Jurayj said: Abu al-Zubayr informed me that he heard Abd al-Rahman bin Ayman ask Ibn Umar, while Abu al-Zubayr was listening, ‘What do you think of a man who divorces his wife while she is menstruating?’ Ibn Umar said to him, ‘Abdullah bin Umar divorced his wife while she was menstruating during the time of the Messenger of Allah. Umar asked the Messenger of Allah about it and said, “Abdullah bin Umar has divorced his wife while she is menstruating.” The Messenger of Allah said, “He should take her back.” So he returned her to me. He then said, “When she becomes pure, he may divorce her or keep her.”’ Ibn Umar said that the Prophet recited: ‘O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them at the beginning of their waiting period.’
Translation notes
The closing words cite Qur'an 65:1; ‘at the beginning of their waiting period’ conveys the timing expressed by the Arabic phrase.
