وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ،
« أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ تَكْرَهُ الرِّجَالَ، فَكَانَ كُلَّمَا أَرَادَهَا اعْتَلَّتْ بِالْحَيْضَةِ، فَظَنَّ أَنَّهَا كَاذِبَةٌ فَأَتَاهَا فَوَجَدَهَا صَادِقَةً، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ بِخُمُسِ دِينَارٍ
