Chapter 20 · The Book of Divorceحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنِ امْرَأَتِهِ الَّتِي طَلَّقَ، فَقَالَ: طَلَّقْتُهَا وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ، فَذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا، فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ فَلْيُطَلِّقْهَا لِطُهْرِهَا»، قَالَ: «فَرَاجَعْتُهَا، ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُهَا لِطُهْرِهَا»، قُلْتُ: فَاعْتَدَدْتَ بِتِلْكَ التَّطْلِيقَةِ الَّتِي طَلَّقْتَ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ؟ قَالَ: «مَا لِيَ لَا أَعْتَدُّ بِهَا، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ عَجَزْتُ وَاسْتَحْمَقْتُ».

I asked Ibn 'Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) about the woman whom he had divorced. He said: I divorced her while she was in the state of menses. It was mentioned to 'Umar (رضی اللہ عنہ) and he then made a mention of that to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), whereupon he said: Command him to take her back and when the period of menses is over, then (he may divorce her in the state of her purity. He (Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہ) said: So I took her back, then divorced her in her purity. I (the narrator) said: Did you count that divorce which you pronounced in the state of menses? He said: Why should I not have counted that? Was I helpless or foolish?
