Sunan an-Nasa'i 3498

Ubayd Allah ibn Sa'd ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa'd informed us; he said: My uncle narrated to us; he said: My father narrated to us; he said: Ibn Ishaq narrated to us; he said: Ubadah ibn al-Walid ibn Ubadah ibn al-Samit related to me, from al-Rubayyi bint Mu'awwidh, who said: I said to her, ‘Tell me your account.’ She said: ‘I obtained a khul' divorce from my husband, then went to Uthman and asked him what waiting period I had to observe. He said, “You have no waiting period unless your separation from him is recent; then you must wait until you have one menstrual period.”’ He said, ‘In this, I follow the judgment of the Messenger of Allah regarding Maryam al-Maghaliyya, who was married to Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas and obtained a khul' divorce from him.’
