Volume 7, Book 63, Number 178:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
that he had divorced his wife while she was menstruating during the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle .
‘Umar bin Al-Khattab asked Allah’s Apostle about that. Allah’s Apostle said, “Order him (your son) to
take her back and keep her till she is clean and then to wait till she gets her next period and becomes
clean again, whereupon, if he wishes to keep her, he can do so, and if he wishes to divorce her he
can divorce her before having sexual intercourse with her; and that is the prescribed period which
Allah has fixed for the women meant to be divorced.”

watching) till I was satisfied. So you may deduce from this event how a little girl (who has not
reached the age of puberty) who is eager to enjoy amusement should be treated in this respect.

Narrated Anas bin Sirin:
Ibn ‘Umar said: “I divorced my wife while she was menstruating. ‘Umar mentioned that to the
Prophet . The Prophet said, (to my father), “Let your son take her back.” I asked (Ibn ‘Umar), “Is such a
divorce counted (i.e. as one legal divorce)?” Ibn ‘Umar said, “Of course.” Narrated Yunus bin Jubair:
Ibn ‘Umar said, “The Prophet said to ‘Umar, ‘Order him (Ibn ‘Umar) to take her back.’ ” I asked, “Is
such a divorce counted (as one legal divorce)?” Ibn ‘Umar said, “What do you think if someone be –
comes helpless and foolish?”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
Once Sada bint Zam’a went out at night for some need, and ‘Umar saw her, and recognizing her,
he said (to her), “By Allah, O Sada! You cannot hide yourself from us.” So she returned to the Prophet
and mentioned that to him while he was sitting in my dwelling taking his supper and holding a bone
covered with meat in his hand. Then the Divine Inspiration was revealed to him and when that state
was over, he (the Prophet was saying: “O women! You have been allowed by Allah to go out for your
needs.”

When Az-Zubair married me, he had no real property or any slave or anything else except a
camel which drew water from the well, and his horse. I used to feed his horse with fodder and drew
water and sew the bucket for drawing it, and prepare the dough, but I did not know how to bake
bread. So our Ansari neighbors used to bake bread for me, and they were honorable ladies. I used to
carry the date stones on my head from Zubair’s land given to him by Allah’s Apostle and this land
was two third Farsakh (about two miles) from my house. One day, while I was coming with the date
stones on my head, I met Allah’s Apostle along with some Ansari people. He called me and then, (dir –
ecting his camel to kneel down) said, “Ikh! Ikh!” so as to make me ride behind him (on his camel). I
felt shy to travel with the men and remembered Az-Zubair and his sense of Ghira, as he was one of
those people who had the greatest sense of Ghira. Allah’s Apostle noticed that I felt shy, so he pro –
ceeded. I came to Az-Zubair and said, “I met Allah’s Apostle while I was carrying a load of date
stones on my head, and he had some companions with him. He made his camel kneel down so that I
might ride, but I felt shy in his presence and remembered your sense of Ghira (See the glossary). On
that Az-Zubair said, “By Allah, your carrying the date stones (and you being seen by the Prophet in
such a state) is more shameful to me than your riding with him.” (I continued serving in this way) till
Abu Bakr sent me a servant to look after the horse, whereupon I felt as if he had set me free.
