Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّاغَانِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْجَوَّابِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارٌ، - هُوَ ابْنُ رُزَيْقٍ - عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَتْ طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي فَأَرَدْتُ النُّقْلَةَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ انْتَقِلِي إِلَى بَيْتِ ابْنِ عَمِّكِ عَمْرِو ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَاعْتَدِّي فِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَحَصَبَهُ الأَسْوَدُ وَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ لِمَ تُفْتِي بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ‏.‏ قَالَ عُمَرُ إِنْ جِئْتِ بِشَاهِدَيْنِ يَشْهَدَانِ أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَاهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَإِلاَّ لَمْ نَتْرُكْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ لِقَوْلِ امْرَأَةٍ ‏‏{‏ لاَ تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلاَ يَخْرُجْنَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ ‏}‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Bakr bin Ishaq As-Saghani informed me: Abu Al-Jawwab narrated to us; 'Ammar—Ibn Ruzaik—narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from Ash-Sha'bi, from Fatimah bint Qais, who said: 'My husband divorced me, and I wanted to move. I went to the Messenger of Allah and he said: Move to the home of your paternal cousin, 'Amr bin Umm Maktum, and observe your waiting period there.' Al-Aswad pelted him with pebbles and said: 'Woe to you! Why do you issue a ruling like this?' 'Umar said: 'If you bring two witnesses who testify that they heard it from the Messenger of Allah, we will accept it; otherwise, we will not set aside the Book of Allah for the word of a woman: Do not turn them out of their homes, nor should they leave unless they commit a manifest indecency.'
