Volume 7, Book 63, Number 262:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
The Prophet said to those who were involved in a case of Lian, “Your accounts are with Allah. One
of you two is a liar. You (husband) have right on her (wife).” The husband said, “My money, O Allah’s
Apostle!” The Prophet said, “You are not entitled to take back any money. If you have told the truth,
the Mahr that you paid, was for having sexual relations with her lawfully; and if you are a liar, then
you are less entitled to get it back.”

Narrated Said bin Jubair:
I said to Ibn ‘Umar, “If a man accuses his wife of illegal sexual intercourse (what is the judgment)?”
He said, “Allah’s Prophet separated the couple of Bani ‘Ajlan (when the husband accused his wife for
an illegal sexual intercourse). The Prophet said, ‘Allah knows that one of you two IS a liar; so will one
of you repent?’ But they refused. He then again said, ‘Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will
one of you repent?’ But they refused, whereupon he separated them by divorce.” Aiyub (a sub-nar –
rator) said: ‘Amr bin Dinar said to me, “In the narration there is something which I do not see you
mentioning, i.e. the husband said, “What about my money (Mahr)?’ The Prophet said, “You are not
entitled to take back money, for if you told the truth you have already entered upon her (and con –
summated your marriage with her) and if you are a liar then you are less entitled to take it back.

Narrated ‘Aisha:
When Allah’s Apostle decided to leave Mecca after the Hajj, he saw Safiyya, sad and standing at
the entrance of her tent. He said to her, “Aqr (or) Halq! You will detain us. Did you perform Tawaf-
al-Ifada on the day of Nahr? She said, “Yes.” He said, “Then you can depart.”

Ma’qil gave his sister in marriage and later her husband divorced her once.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 248:
Narrated Al-Hasan:
The sister of Ma’qil bin Yasar was married to a man and then that man divorced her and remained
away from her till her period of the ‘Iddah expired. Then he demanded for her hand in marriage, but
Ma’qil got angry out of pride and haughtiness and said, “He kept away from her when he could still
retain her, and now he demands her hand again?” So Ma’qil disagreed to remarry her to him. Then
Allah revealed: ‘When you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their prescribed
period, do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands.’ (2.232) So the Prophet sent for
Ma’qil and recited to him (Allah’s order) and consequently Ma’qil gave up his pride and haughtiness
and yielded to Allah’s order.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 249:
Narrated Nafi:
Ibn ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab divorced his wife during her menses. Allah’s Apostle ordered him to take
her back till she became clean, and when she got another period while she was with him, she should
wait till she became clean again and only then, if he wanted to divorce her, he could do so before
having sexual relations with her. And that is the period Allah has fixed for divorcing women.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 7 > BOOK 63: DIVORCE
Whenever ‘Abdullah (bin ‘Umar) was asked about that, he would say to the questioner, “If you di –
vorced her thrice, she is no longer lawful for you unless she marries another man (and the other
man divorces her in his turn).’ Ibn ‘Umar further said, ‘Would that you (people) only give one or two
divorces, because the Prophet has ordered me so.”
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 250:
Narrated Yunus Ibn Jubair:
Ibn ‘Umar divorced his wife while she was having her menses. ‘Umar asked the Prophet who said,
“Order him (your son) to take her back, and then divorced her before her period of the ‘Iddah has
elapsed.” I asked Ibn ‘Umar, “Will that divorce (during the menses) be counted?” He replied, “If some –
body behaves foolishly (will his foolishness be an excuse for his misbehavior)?”
