عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي
أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، سَمِعَ امْرَأَةً، وَهِيَ تَقُولُ: تَطَاوَلَ هَذَا اللَّيْلُ وَاسْوَدَّ جَانِبُهْ وَأَرَّقَنِي إِذْ لَا حَبِيبَ أُلَاعِبُهْ فَلَوْلَا الَّذِي فَوْقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ عَرْشُهْ لَزُعْزِعَ مِنْ هَذَا السَّرِيرِ جَوَانِبُهْ فَأَصْبَحَ عُمَرُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ: " أَنْتِ الْقَائِلَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ " قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: " وَلِمَ ؟ " قَالَتْ: أَجْهَزْتَ زَوْجِي فِي هَذِهِ الْبُعُوثِ. قَالَ: فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ حَفْصَةَ " كَمْ تَصْبِرُ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا ؟ فَقَالَتْ: " سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ "، فَكَانَ عُمَرُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يُقْفِلُ بُعُوثَهُ لِسِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ

That 'Umar ibn al-Khattab heard a woman saying: “The night has grown long and its sides have turned black, and it keeps me awake, since there is no beloved to play with. Were it not for He whose throne is above the heavens, its sides would shake this couch.” 'Umar woke up, sent for her, and said: “Are you the one who said such and such?” She said: “Yes.” He said: “And why?” She said: “You have sent my husband out on these expeditions.” He said: “How long can a woman endure without her husband?” She said: “Six months.” So after that, 'Umar would recall his expeditions after six months.
