حَدَّثَنِى عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَنِى يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَخِى الزُّهْرِىِّ - عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِى وَهْىَ حَائِضٌ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ لِلنَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَتَغَيَّظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- ثُمَّ قَالَ « مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا حَتَّى تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى مُسْتَقْبَلَةً سِوَى حَيْضَتِهَا الَّتِى طَلَّقَهَا فِيهَا فَإِنْ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا فَلْيُطَلِّقْهَا طَاهِرًا مِنْ حَيْضَتِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا فَذَلِكَ الطَّلاَقُ لِلْعِدَّةِ كَمَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ ». وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ طَلَّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَةً وَاحِدَةً فَحُسِبَتْ مِنْ طَلاَقِهَا وَرَاجَعَهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: "I divorced my wife while she was menstruating. 'Umar mentioned that to the Prophet (s.a.w) and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) got angry and said: 'Tell him to take her back until she has menstruated again, a menses other than that in which he divorced her. Then if he wants to divorce her, let him divorce her when she is pure of menses and before he has intercourse with her. That is divorce at the time prescribed by Allah."' 'Abdullah had divorced her once, and that was counted as one divorce. And 'Abdullah took her back as the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) commanded him.
