Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَرْقَاءُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، قَالَ عَطَاءٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، نَسَخَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ عِدَّتَهَا فِي أَهْلِهَا فَتَعْتَدُّ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏‏{‏ غَيْرَ إِخْرَاجٍ ‏}‏ ‏.‏

Translation

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that this verse abrogated the requirement that a woman observe her waiting period with her family, so she may observe it wherever she wishes. This is the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: 'without turning them out.'
