حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، وَيَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، وَعُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالُوا إِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَذَكَرَ عُمَرُ رضى الله عنه لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا حَتَّى تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ فَإِنْ شَاءَ طَلَّقَهَا وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَهَا فَإِنَّهُ الطَّلاَقُ الَّذِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ " . قَالَ تَعَالَى { فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ } .
Bishr bin Khalid narrated to us: Yahya bin Adam narrated to us, from Ibn Idris, from Muhammad bin Ishaq, Yahya bin Sa'id, and 'Ubaidullah bin 'Umar, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar. Another chain is: Zuhair narrated to us, from Musa bin 'Uqbah, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar. They said: 'Ibn 'Umar divorced his wife while she was menstruating. 'Umar mentioned this to the Prophet, who said: Tell him to take her back and keep her until she menstruates once more. When she becomes pure, he may divorce her if he wishes or keep her, for this is the divorce Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, commanded.' Allah Most High says: 'Divorce them at the beginning of their waiting period.'
Translation notes
قَالَ تَعَالَى { فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ } .
The Arabic quotes fa-talliquhunna li-'iddatihinna, whereas the English witness substitutes a different divorce verse, al-talaqu marratan.
Should the quoted verse be translated from the Arabic as 'Divorce them at the beginning of their waiting period'?
