أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، نَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شَاذَانَ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَا: نَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، نَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ:
أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ تَطْلِيقَةً وَاحِدَةً فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْسِكَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ ثُمَّ تَحِيضَ عِنْدَهُ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ مِنْ حَيْضَتِهَا فَإِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا فَلْيُطَلِّقْهَا حِينَ تَطْهُرُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا، فَتِلْكَ الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لِأَحَدِهِمْ: إِنْ كُنْتَ طَلَّقْتَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَقَدْ حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَكَ، وَعَصَيْتَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيمَا أَمَرَكَ مِنْ طَلَاقِ امْرَأَتِكَ

That he divorced his wife while she was menstruating, with one pronouncement of divorce. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to take her back, then to keep her until she became pure, then she would menstruate another menstrual period with him, then to give her time until she became pure from her menstruation. Then if he wished to divorce her, he should divorce her when she is pure, before he has intercourse with her. That is the waiting period (ʿiddah) in which Allah, Mighty and Majestic, commanded that women be divorced. And when Ibn ʿUmar was asked about that, he would say to one of them: If you have divorced her three times, she has become forbidden to you until she marries a husband other than you, and you have disobeyed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, in what He commanded you concerning the divorce of your wife.
