Sahih al-Bukhari — Divorce

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 (ﷺ) 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

وحدثني محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا عبد الاعلى، حدثنا سعيد، عن قتادة، حدثنا الحسن، ان معقل بن يسار، كانت اخته تحت رجل فطلقها، ثم خلى عنها حتى انقضت عدتها، ثم خطبها فحمي معقل من ذلك انفا فقال خلى عنها وهو يقدر عليها، ثم يخطبها فحال بينه وبينها، فانزل الله {واذا طلقتم النساء فبلغن اجلهن فلا تعضلوهن} الى اخر الاية، فدعاه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقرا عليه، فترك الحمية واستقاد لامر الله

Narrated Nafi`:Ibn `Umar bin Al-Khattab divorced his wife during her menses. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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. Whenever `Abdullah (bin `Umar) was asked about that, he would say to the questioner, "If you divorced 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 (ﷺ) has ordered me so

حدثنا قتيبة، حدثنا الليث، عن نافع، ان ابن عمر بن الخطاب رضى الله عنهما طلق امراة له وهى حايض تطليقة واحدة، فامره رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ان يراجعها، ثم يمسكها حتى تطهر، ثم تحيض عنده حيضة اخرى، ثم يمهلها حتى تطهر من حيضها، فان اراد ان يطلقها فليطلقها حين تطهر من قبل ان يجامعها، فتلك العدة التي امر الله ان تطلق لها النساء. وكان عبد الله اذا سيل عن ذلك قال لاحدهم ان كنت طلقتها ثلاثا فقد حرمت عليك، حتى تنكح زوجا غيره. وزاد فيه غيره عن الليث حدثني نافع قال ابن عمر لو طلقت مرة او مرتين، فان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم امرني بهذا

Narrated Yunus Ibn Jubair:Ibn `Umar divorced his wife while she was having her menses. `Umar asked the Prophet (ﷺ) 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 somebody behaves foolishly (will his foolishness be an excuse for his misbehavior)?

حدثنا حجاج، حدثنا يزيد بن ابراهيم، حدثنا محمد بن سيرين، حدثني يونس بن جبير، سالت ابن عمر فقال طلق ابن عمر امراته وهى حايض، فسال عمر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فامره ان يراجعها، ثم يطلق من قبل عدتها، قلت فتعتد بتلك التطليقة قال ارايت ان عجز واستحمق

Narrated Humaid bin Nafi`:Zainab bint Abu Salama told me these three narrations: Zainab said: I went to Um Habiba, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) when her father, Abu- Sufyan bin Herb had died. Um ,Habiba asked for a perfume which contained yellow scent (Khaluq) or some other scent, and she first perfumed one of the girls with it and then rubbed her cheeks with it and said, "By Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, 'It is not lawful for a lady who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead person for more than three days unless he is her husband for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days

حدثنا عبد الله بن يوسف، اخبرنا مالك، عن عبد الله بن ابي بكر بن محمد بن عمرو بن حزم، عن حميد بن نافع، عن زينب ابنة ابي سلمة، انها اخبرته هذه الاحاديث الثلاثة، قالت زينب دخلت على ام حبيبة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حين توفي ابوها ابو سفيان بن حرب، فدعت ام حبيبة بطيب فيه صفرة خلوق او غيره فدهنت منه جارية، ثم مست بعارضيها، ثم قالت والله ما لي بالطيب من حاجة، غير اني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " لا يحل لامراة تومن بالله واليوم الاخر ان تحد على ميت فوق ثلاث ليال، الا على زوج اربعة اشهر وعشرا

Zainab further said:I want to Zainab bint Jahsh when her brother died. She asked for perfume and used some of it and said, "By Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying on the pulpit, 'It is not lawful for a lady who believes in Allah and the last day to mourn for more than three days except for her husband for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days

قالت زينب فدخلت على زينب ابنة جحش حين توفي اخوها، فدعت بطيب فمست منه، ثم قالت اما والله ما لي بالطيب من حاجة غير اني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول على المنبر " لا يحل لامراة تومن بالله واليوم الاخر ان تحد على ميت فوق ثلاث ليال الا على زوج اربعة اشهر وعشرا

Zainab further said:"I heard my mother, Um Salama saying that a woman came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The husband of my daughter has died and she is suffering from an eye disease, can she apply kohl to her eye?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "No," twice or thrice. (Every time she repeated her question) he said, "No." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) added, "It is just a matter of four months and ten days. In the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance a widow among you should throw a globe of dung when one year has elapsed

قالت زينب وسمعت ام سلمة، تقول جاءت امراة الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالت يا رسول الله ان ابنتي توفي عنها زوجها وقد اشتكت عينها افتكحلها فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لا ". مرتين او ثلاثا كل ذلك يقول لا، ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " انما هي اربعة اشهر وعشر، وقد كانت احداكن في الجاهلية ترمي بالبعرة على راس الحول

I (Humaid) said to Zainab, "What does 'throwing a globe of dung when one year had elapsed' mean?" Zainab said, "When a lady was bereaved of her husband, she would live in a wretched small room and put on the worst clothes she had and would not touch any scent till one year had elapsed. Then she would bring an animal, e.g. a donkey, a sheep or a bird and rub her body against it. The animal against which she would rub her body would scarcely survive. Only then she would come out of her room, whereupon she would be given a globe of dung which she would throw away and then she would use the scent she liked or the like

قال حميد فقلت لزينب وما ترمي بالبعرة على راس الحول فقالت زينب كانت المراة اذا توفي عنها زوجها دخلت حفشا، ولبست شر ثيابها، ولم تمس طيبا حتى تمر بها سنة، ثم توتى بدابة حمار او شاة او طاير فتفتض به، فقلما تفتض بشىء الا مات، ثم تخرج فتعطى بعرة فترمي، ثم تراجع بعد ما شاءت من طيب او غيره. سيل مالك ما تفتض به قال تمسح به جلدها

Narrated Um Salama: A woman was bereaved of her husband and her relatives worried about her eyes (which were diseased). They came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and asked him to allow them to treat her eyes with kohl, but he said, "She should not apply kohl to her eyes. (In the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance) a widowed woman among you would stay in the worst of her clothes (or the worst part of her house) and when a year had elapsed, if a dog passed by her, she would throw a globe of dung, Nay, (she cannot use kohl) till four months and ten days have elapsed

حدثنا ادم بن ابي اياس، حدثنا شعبة، حدثنا حميد بن نافع، عن زينب ابنة ام سلمة، عن امها، ان امراة، توفي زوجها فخشوا على عينيها فاتوا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاستاذنوه في الكحل فقال " لا تكحل قد كانت احداكن تمكث في شر احلاسها او شر بيتها، فاذا كان حول فمر كلب رمت ببعرة، فلا حتى تمضي اربعة اشهر وعشر

Narrated Um Habiba:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is not lawful for a Muslim woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for more than three days, except for her husband, for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days

Narrated Um 'Atiyya:We were forbidden to mourn for more than three days except for a husband

Narrated Um 'Atiyya:We were forbidden to mourn for more than three days for a dead person, except for a husband, for whom a wife should mourn for four months and ten days (while in the mourning period) we were not allowed to put kohl in our eyes, nor perfume our-selves, nor wear dyed clothes, except a garment of 'Asb (special clothes made in Yemen). But it was permissible for us that when one of us became clean from her menses and took a bath, she could use a piece of a certain kind of incense. And it was forbidden for us to follow funeral processions

حدثني عبد الله بن عبد الوهاب، حدثنا حماد بن زيد، عن ايوب، عن حفصة، عن ام عطية، قالت كنا ننهى ان نحد على ميت فوق ثلاث، الا على زوج اربعة اشهر وعشرا، ولا نكتحل، ولا نطيب، ولا نلبس ثوبا مصبوغا، الا ثوب عصب، وقد رخص لنا عند الطهر اذا اغتسلت احدانا من محيضها في نبذة من كست اظفار، وكنا ننهى عن اتباع الجنايز

Narrated Um 'Atiyya:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is not lawful for a lady who believes in Allah and the Last Day, to mourn for more than three days for a dead person, except for her husband, in which case she should neither put kohl in her eyes, nor perfume herself, nor wear dyed clothes, except a garment of 'Asb

Um 'Atiyya added:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "She should not use perfume except when she becomes clean from her menses whereupon she can use Qust, and Azfar (two kinds of incense)

Narrated Mujahid:(regarding the Verse): 'If any of you dies and leaves wives behind,' That was the period of the 'Iddah which the widow was obliged to spend in the house of the late husband. Then Allah revealed: And those of you who die and leave wives should bequeath for their wives a year's maintenance and residence without turning them out, but if they leave, there is no blame on you for what they do of themselves, provided it is honorable (i.e. lawful marriage) (2.240) Mujahid said: Allah has ordered that a widow has the right to stay for seven months and twenty days with her husband's relatives through her husband's will and testament so that she will complete the period of one year (of 'Iddah). But the widow has the right to stay that extra period or go out of her husband's house as is indicated by the statement of Allah: 'But if they leave there is no blame on you,... ' (2.240) Ibn `Abbas said: The above Verse has cancelled the order of spending the period of the 'Iddah at her late husband's house, and so she could spend her period of the 'Iddah wherever she likes. And Allah says: 'Without turning them out.' 'Ata said: If she would, she could spend her period of the 'Iddah at her husband's house, and live there according to her (husband's) will and testament, and if she would, she could go out (of her husband's house) as Allah says: 'There is no blame on you for what they do of themselves.' (2.240) 'Ata added: Then the Verses of inheritance were revealed and the order of residence (for the widow) was cancelled, and she could spend her period of the 'Iddah wherever she would like, and she was no longer entitled to be accommodated by her husband's family

حدثني اسحاق بن منصور، اخبرنا روح بن عبادة، حدثنا شبل، عن ابن ابي نجيح، عن مجاهد، {والذين يتوفون منكم ويذرون ازواجا} قال كانت هذه العدة تعتد عند اهل زوجها واجبا، فانزل الله {والذين يتوفون منكم ويذرون ازواجا وصية لازواجهم متاعا الى الحول غير اخراج فان خرجن فلا جناح عليكم فيما فعلن في انفسهن من معروف} قال جعل الله لها تمام السنة سبعة اشهر وعشرين ليلة وصية ان شاءت سكنت في وصيتها، وان شاءت خرجت، وهو قول الله تعالى {غير اخراج فان خرجن فلا جناح عليكم} فالعدة كما هي، واجب عليها، زعم ذلك عن مجاهد. وقال عطاء قال ابن عباس نسخت هذه الاية عدتها عند اهلها، فتعتد حيث شاءت، وقول الله تعالى {غير اخراج}. وقال عطاء ان شاءت اعتدت عند اهلها، وسكنت في وصيتها، وان شاءت خرجت لقول الله {فلا جناح عليكم فيما فعلن}. قال عطاء ثم جاء الميراث فنسخ السكنى، فتعتد حيث شاءت، ولا سكنى لها
