Volume 7, Book 63, Number 182:
Narrated Abu Usaid:
We went out with the Prophet to a garden called Ash-Shaut till we reached two walls between
which we sat down. The Prophet said, “Sit here,” and went in (the garden). The Jauniyya (a lady from
Bani Jaun) had been brought and lodged in a house in a date-palm garden in the home of Umaima
bint An-Nu’man bin Sharahil, and her wet nurse was with her. When the Prophet entered upon her,
he said to her, “Give me yourself (in marriage) as a gift.” She said, “Can a princess give herself in
marriage to an ordinary man?” The Prophet raised his hand to pat her so that she might become
tranquil. She said, “I seek refuge with Allah from you.” He said, “You have sought refuge with One
Who gives refuge. Then the Prophet came out to us and said, “O Abu Usaid! Give her two white linen
dresses to wear and let her go back to her family.” Narrated Sahl and Abu Usaid: The Prophet mar –
ried Umaima bint Sharahil, and when she was brought to him, he stretched his hand towards her. It
seemed that she disliked that, whereupon the Prophet ordered Abu Usaid to prepare her and to
provide her with two white linen dresses. (See Hadith No. 541).

Narrated ‘Ikrima:
The sister of ‘Abdullah bin Ubai narrated (the above narration, 197) with the addition that the
Prophet said to Thabit’s wife, “Will you return his garden?” She said, “Yes,” and returned it, and (then)
the Prophet ordered Thabit to divorce her. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: The wife of Thabit bin Qais came to
Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I do not blame Thabit for any defects in his character or
his religion, but I cannot endure to live with him.” On that Allah’s Apostle said, “Will you return his
garden to him?” She said, “Yes.”

Volume 7, Book 63, Number 199:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The wife of Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I do not
blame Thabit for any defects in his character or his religion, but I am afraid that I (being a Muslim)
may become unthankful for Allah’s Blessings.” On that, Allah’s Apostle said (to her), ‘Will you return
his garden to him?” She said, “Yes.” So she returned his garden to him and the Prophet told him to di –
vorce her.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 184:
Narrated Abi Ghallab Yunus bin Jubair:
I asked Ibn ‘Umar,”(What is said regarding) a man divorces his wife during her period?” He said,
“Do you know Ibn ‘Umar? Ibn ‘Umar divorced his wife while she was menstruating. ‘Umar then went
to the Prophet and mentioned that to him. The Prophet ordered him to take her back and when she
became clean, he could divorce her if he wanted.” I asked (Ibn ‘Umar), “Was that divorce counted as
one legal divorce?” He said, “If one becomes helpless and foolish (will he be excused? Of course not).”

Volume 7, Book 63, Number 185:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad As-Sa’idi:
Uwaimir Al-‘Ajlani came to ‘Asim bin Adi Al-Ansari and asked, “O ‘Asim! Tell me, if a man sees his
wife with another man, should he kill him, whereupon you would kill him in Qisas, or what should
he do? O ‘Asim! Please ask Allah’s Apostle about that.” ‘Asim asked Allah’s Apostle about that. Allah’s
Apostle disliked that question and considered it disgraceful. What ‘Asim heard from Allah’s Apostle
was hard on him. When he returned to his family, ‘Uwaimir came to him and said “O ‘Asim! What
did Allah’s Apostle say to you?” ‘Asim said, “You never bring me any good. Allah’s Apostle disliked to

hear the problem which I asked him about.” ‘Uwaimir said, “By Allah, I will not leave the matter till I
ask him about it.” So ‘Uwaimir proceeded till he came to Allah’s Apostle who was in the midst of the
people and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If a man finds with his wife another man, should he kill him,
whereupon you would kill him (in Qisas): or otherwise, what should he do?” Allah’s Apostle said, “Al –
lah has revealed something concerning the question of you and your wife. Go and bring her here.” So
they both carried out the judgment of Lian, while I was present among the people (as a witness).
When both of them had finished, ‘Uwaimir said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If I should now keep my wife
with me, then I have told a lie”. Then he pronounced his decision to divorce her thrice before Allah’s
Apostle ordered him to do so. (Ibn Shihab said, “That was the tradition for all those who are involved
in a case of Lian.”
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 186:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
The wife of Rifa’a Al-Qurazi came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Rifa’a divorced
me irrevocably. After him I married ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi who proved to be im –
potent.” Allah’s Apostle said to her, “Perhaps you want to return to Rifa’a? Nay (you cannot return to
Rifa’a) until you and ‘Abdur-Rahman consummate your marriage.”
