عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ أُصَدِّقُ،
أَنَّ عُمَرَ، وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ سَمِعَ امْرَأَةً، وَهِيَ تَقُولُ: تَطَاوَلَ هَذَا اللَّيْلُ وَاخْضَلَّ جَانِبُهْ وَأَرَّقَنِي إِذْ لَا خَلِيلَ فَلَوْلَا حَذَارِ اللهِ لَا شَيْءَ مِثْلُهْ لَزُعْزِعَ مِنْ هَذَا السَّرِيرِ جَوَانِبُهْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " فَمَا لَكِ ؟ " قَالَتْ: أَغْرَبْتَ زَوْجِي مُنْذُ أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ، وَقَدِ اشْتَقْتُ إِلَيْهِ. فَقَالَ: " أَرَدْتِ سُوءًا ؟ " قَالَتْ: مَعَاذَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَامْلُكِي عَلَى نَفْسِكِ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الْبَرِيدُ إِلَيْهِ " فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي سَائِلُكِ عَنْ أَمْرٍ قَدْ أَهَمَّنِي فَأَفْرِجِيهِ عَنِّي، كَمْ تَشْتَاقُ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا ؟ " فَخَفَضَتْ رَأْسَهَا فَاسْتَحْيَتْ. فَقَالَ: " فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ "، فَأَشَارَتْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَإِلَّا فَأَرْبَعَةً. فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ " أَلَّا تُحْبَسَ الْجُيُوشُ فَوْقَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ

That 'Umar, while circumambulating, heard a woman saying: “The night has grown long and its sides are moist, and it keeps me awake, since there is no close companion. Were it not for fear of Allah, with nothing like it, its sides would shake this couch.” 'Umar said: “What is the matter with you?” She said: “My husband has been away for four months, and I have longed for him.” He said: “Did you intend evil?” She said: “God forbid.” He said: “Then control yourself, for he is only the one who carries the message to him.” Then he sent for him. Then he entered upon Hafsah and said: “I will ask you about a matter that has troubled me, so relieve me of it: how long does a woman long for her husband?” She lowered her head and was shy. He said: “Indeed, Allah is not shy of the truth.” She indicated three months, or otherwise four. 'Umar wrote: “Armies should not be kept away for more than four months.”
