"عن ابن عمر قال: خرجَ عمرُ بنُ الخطابِ في الليل فسمعَ امرأةً تقولُ: تطاوَلَ هَذَا الليلُ واسودَّ جَانبُه... وأرَّقنِى أَنْ لَا حَبِيبَ أُلَاعبُه فواللَّه لولَا اللَّه أَنِّى أراقِبُه... لَحُرِّك من هَذَا السَّريرِ جَوَانِبُه فقال عمرُ لحفصة: كَمْ أكثرُ ما تَصْبرُ المرأةُ عَنْ زَوْجهَا؟ فقالتْ: سِتَةَ أَوْ أربعةَ أشهرٍ، فقال عمرُ: لَا أحْبِسُ الجيشَ أكثرَ من هذا".

"Ibn 'Umar said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab went out at night and heard a woman saying: The night has lengthened and its side has darkened... and sleeplessness troubles me, for there is no beloved for me to play with. By Allah, if it were not for Allah, I would be watching over him... the sides of this bed would be shaken. 'Umar said to Hafsah: How long can a woman endure away from her husband? She said: Six or four months. 'Umar said: I will not hold the army back longer than this."
