أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ هُوَ ابْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ هُوَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ
أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ تَطْلِيقَةً فَانْطَلَقَ عُمَرُ فَأَخْبَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مُرْ عَبْدَ اللهِ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلَتْ فَلْيَتْرُكْهَا حَتَّى تَحِيضَ فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلَتْ مِنْ حَيْضَتِهَا الْأُخْرَى فَلَا يَمَسَّهَا حَتَّى يُطَلِّقَهَا فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُمْسِكَهَا فَلْيُمْسِكْهَا فَإِنَّهَا الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللهُ أَنْ تُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ»

✧ He divorced his wife while she was menstruating with one divorce. Umar went and informed the Prophet ﷺ about that. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'Command Abdullah to take her back. Then when she has performed ghusl, let him leave her until she menstruates. Then when she has performed ghusl from her next menstruation, let him not touch her until he divorces her. And if he wishes to keep her, let him keep her. That is the waiting period that Allah commanded for women to be divorced.'
