أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ رَجُلٌ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَقَالَ أَتَعْرِفُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَإِنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَأَتَى عُمَرُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسْأَلُهُ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا ثُمَّ يَسْتَقْبِلَ عِدَّتَهَا قُلْتُ لَهُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ أَيَعْتَدُّ بِتِلْكَ التَّطْلِيقَةِ فَقَالَ مَهْ وَإِنْ عَجَزَ وَاسْتَحْمَقَ .
Yaqub bin Ibrahim narrated to us; Ibn Ulaiyyah narrated to us, from Yunus, from Muhammad bin Sirin, from Yunus bin Jubayr, who said: I asked Ibn Umar about a man who had divorced his wife while she was menstruating. He said, ‘Do you know Abdullah bin Umar? He divorced his wife while she was menstruating, and Umar went to the Prophet to ask him about it. He ordered him to take her back and then begin counting her waiting period anew.’ I asked him, ‘When a man divorces his wife while she is menstruating, does he count that divorce?’ He replied, ‘Enough! What if he were incapable and acted foolishly?’
Translation notes
مَهْ وَإِنْ عَجَزَ وَاسْتَحْمَقَ
The brief rebuke and rhetorical question do not explicitly state whether the divorce counts; the implication is not supplied in this wording.
Can a verified parallel or commentary clarify Ibn Umar's intended answer without adding it to the translation?
