عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ:
خَرَجَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ يُشَيِّعُ رَجُلًا - أَحْسَبُهُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ - فَرَأَى امْرَأَتَهُ أَوِ امْرَأَةً مَعَهُ فَأَعْجَبَتْهُ، فَقُضِيَ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ مَاتَ فِي سَفَرِهِ، فَرَجَعَ أَهْلُهُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ. فَخَطَبَ الْأَشْعَثُ تِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: أَتَزَوَّجُكَ عَلَى حُكْمِي ! فَتَزَوَّجَهَا، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ بِهَا، وَمَكَثَ مَا مَكَثَ طَلَّقَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: احْتَكِمِي مَا شِئْتِ " ! فَقَالَتْ: أَحْتَكِمُ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا عَبِيدًا لِأَبِيهِ. فَقَالَ: أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَلَا، وَلَكِنِ احْتَكِمِي مِنْ مَالِي ! فَخَاصَمَهَا إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنِّي عَشِقْتُ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةَ، فَقَالَ: " ذَلِكَ مَا لَمْ تَمْلِكْ ". قَالَ: ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجْتُهَا عَلَى حُكْمِهَا، ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ أُرْضِيَهَا. فَرَدَّ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ، وَقَالَ: " امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَهَا مَا لِامْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ". وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهَا حُكْمًا، وَجَعَلَ لَهَا صَدَاقَ الْمَرْأَةِ مِنْ نِسَائِهَا
Translation
✧ Al-Ash'ath b. Qays went out bidding farewell to a man—I think from Quraysh—and saw his wife, or a woman with him, and she pleased him. It was decreed for the man to die on his journey, and his family returned to Kufah. Al-Ash'ath proposed to that woman, and she said: 'I marry you according to my judgment!' So he married her. When he had consummated the marriage and remained as long as he remained, he divorced her, then said: 'Judge for yourself what you want!' She said: 'I judge so-and-so and so-and-so, slaves of his father.' He said: 'As for those, no, but judge from my wealth.' She brought a dispute to Umar b. al-Khattab. He said: 'O Commander of the Believers, I fell in love with this woman.' He said: 'That is as long as you do not possess her.' He said: 'Then I married her according to her judgment, then I divorced her before appeasing her.' Umar rejected that and said: 'A woman of the Muslims has what any woman of the Muslims has.' He did not make any judgment for her, but gave her the dower of a woman of her peers.
