Sunan Abu Dawud — Divorce

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly periods. Nor is it lawful for them to hide what Allah hath created in their wombs. This means that if a man divorced his wife he had the right to take her back in marriage though he had divorced her by three pronouncements. This was then repealed (by a Qur'anic verse). Divorce is only permissible twice

حدثنا احمد بن محمد المروزي، حدثني علي بن حسين بن واقد، عن ابيه، عن يزيد النحوي، عن عكرمة، عن ابن عباس، قال { والمطلقات يتربصن بانفسهن ثلاثة قروء ولا يحل لهن ان يكتمن ما خلق الله في ارحامهن } الاية وذلك ان الرجل كان اذا طلق امراته فهو احق برجعتها وان طلقها ثلاثا فنسخ ذلك وقال { الطلاق مرتان}

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Abd Yazid, the father of Rukanah and his brothers, divorced Umm Rukanah and married a woman of the tribe of Muzaynah. She went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: He is of no use to me except that he is as useful to me as a hair; and she took a hair from her head. So separate me from him. The Prophet (ﷺ) became furious. He called on Rukanah and his brothers. He then said to those who were sitting beside him. Do you see so-and-so who resembles Abdu Yazid in respect of so-and-so; and so-and-so who resembles him in respect of so-and-so? They replied: Yes. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Abdu Yazid: Divorce her. Then he did so. He said: Take your wife, the mother of Rukanah and his brothers, back in marriage. He said: I have divorced her by three pronouncements, Messenger of Allah. He said: I know: take her back. He then recited the verse: "O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them at their appointed periods." Abu Dawud said: The tradition narrated by Nafi' b. 'Ujair and 'Abd Allah b. Yazid b. Rukanah from his father on the authority of his grandfather reads: Rukanah divorced his wife absolutely (i.e. irrevocable divorce). The Prophet (ﷺ) restored her to him. This version is sounder (than other versions), for they (i.e. these narrators) are the children of his man, and the members of the family are more aware of his case. Rukanah divorced his wife absolutely (i.e. three divorces in one pronouncement) and the Prophet (ﷺ) made it a single divorce

حدثنا احمد بن صالح، حدثنا عبد الرزاق، اخبرنا ابن جريج، اخبرني بعض بني ابي رافع، مولى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن عكرمة مولى ابن عباس عن ابن عباس قال طلق عبد يزيد - ابو ركانة واخوته - ام ركانة ونكح امراة من مزينة فجاءت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالت ما يغني عني الا كما تغني هذه الشعرة . لشعرة اخذتها من راسها ففرق بيني وبينه فاخذت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حمية فدعا بركانة واخوته ثم قال لجلسايه " اترون فلانا يشبه منه كذا وكذا من عبد يزيد وفلانا يشبه منه - كذا وكذا " . قالوا نعم . قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لعبد يزيد " طلقها " . ففعل ثم قال " راجع امراتك ام ركانة واخوته " . فقال اني طلقتها ثلاثا يا رسول الله . قال " قد علمت راجعها " . وتلا { يا ايها النبي اذا طلقتم النساء فطلقوهن لعدتهن } . قال ابو داود وحديث نافع بن عجير وعبد الله بن علي بن يزيد بن ركانة عن ابيه عن جده ان ركانة طلق امراته البتة فردها اليه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم اصح لان ولد الرجل واهله اعلم به ان ركانة انما طلق امراته البتة فجعلها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم واحدة

Mujahid said “I was with Ibn ‘Abbas”. A man came to him and said that he divorced his wife by three pronouncements. I kept silence and thought that he was going to restore het to him. He then said “A man goes and commits a foolish act and then says “O, Ibn ‘Abbas! Alaah has said “And for those who fear Allaah, He (ever) prepares a way out.” Since you did not keep duty to Allaah I do not find a way out for you. You disobeyed your Lord and your wife was separated from you. Allaah has said “O Prophet! When you divorce women divorce them in the beginning of their waiting period.” Abu Dawud said “This tradition has been transmitted by Humaid Al A’raj and by others from Mujahid on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas. Shu’bjh narrated it from ‘Amr bin Murrah from Sa’id bin Jubair on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas. Ayyub and Ibn ‘Jubair both narrated it from “’Ikrimah bin Khalid from Sa’id bin Jubair on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas. Ibn Juraij narrated it from ‘Abd Al Hamid bin Rafi’ from ‘Ata from Ibn ‘Abbas. Al A’mash narrated it from Malik bin Al Harith on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas. They all said about the divorce by three pronouncements. He allowed it and said” (Your wife) has been separated from you similar to the tradition narrated by Isma’il from Ayub from ‘Abd Allaah bin Kathir.” Abu Dawud said “Hammad bin Zaid narrated it from Ayyub from ‘Ikrimah on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas. This version adds If he said “You are divorced three times saying in one pronouncement, it constitutes a single (divorce). Isma’il bin Ibrahim narrated it from Ayyub from ‘Ikrimah. This is his (‘Ikrimah’s) statement. He did not mention the name of Ibn ‘Abbas. He narrated it as a statement of ‘Ikrimah.”

حدثنا حميد بن مسعدة، حدثنا اسماعيل، اخبرنا ايوب، عن عبد الله بن كثير، عن مجاهد، قال كنت عند ابن عباس فجاء رجل فقال انه طلق امراته ثلاثا . قال فسكت حتى ظننت انه رادها اليه . ثم قال ينطلق احدكم فيركب الحموقة ثم يقول يا ابن عباس يا ابن عباس وان الله قال { ومن يتق الله يجعل له مخرجا } وانك لم تتق الله فلم اجد لك مخرجا عصيت ربك وبانت منك امراتك وان الله قال { يا ايها النبي اذا طلقتم النساء فطلقوهن } في قبل عدتهن . قال ابو داود روى هذا الحديث حميد الاعرج وغيره عن مجاهد عن ابن عباس ورواه شعبة عن عمرو بن مرة عن سعيد بن جبير عن ابن عباس وايوب وابن جريج جميعا عن عكرمة بن خالد عن سعيد بن جبير عن ابن عباس ورواه ابن جريج عن عبد الحميد بن رافع عن عطاء عن ابن عباس ورواه الاعمش عن مالك بن الحارث عن ابن عباس وابن جريج عن عمرو بن دينار عن ابن عباس كلهم قالوا في الطلاق الثلاث انه اجازها قال وبانت منك نحو حديث اسماعيل عن ايوب عن عبد الله بن كثير . قال ابو داود وروى حماد بن زيد عن ايوب عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس اذا قال " انت طالق ثلاثا " . بفم واحد فهي واحدة ورواه اسماعيل بن ابراهيم عن ايوب عن عكرمة هذا قوله لم يذكر ابن عباس وجعله قول عكرمة

Abu Dawud said “The opinion of Ibn ‘Abbas has been mentioned in the following tradition. “Ahmad bin Salih and Muhammad bin Yahya narrated this is the version of Ahmad (bin Salih)” from ‘Abd Ar Razzaq from Ma’mar from Al Zuhri from Abu Salamah din Abd Al Rahman bin ‘Awf and Muhammad bin ‘Abd Al Rahman bin Thawban from Muhammad bin Iyas that Ibn ‘Abbas, Abu Hurairah and ‘Abd Alah bin ‘Amr bin Al ‘As were asked about a virgin who is divorced three times by her husband. They all said “She is not lawful for him until she marries a man other than her former husband.” Abu Dawud said “Malik narrated from Yahya bin Sa’id from Bukair bin Al Ashajj from Mu’awiyah bin Abi ‘Ayyash who was present on this occasion when Muhammad bin Iyas bin Al Bukair came to Ibn Al Zubair and Asim in ‘Umar. He asked them about this matter. They replied “Go to Ibn ‘Abbas and Abu Hurairah, I have left them with A’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her). He then narrated the rest of the tradition.” Abu Dawud said “The statement of Ibn ‘Abbas goes “The divorce by three pronouncements separates the wife from husband whether the marriage has been consummated or not, the previous husband is not lawful for her until she marries a man other than her husband”. This statement is like the tradition which deals with the exchange of money. In this tradition the narrator said “Ibn ‘Abbas withdrew his opinion.”

وصار قول ابن عباس فيما حدثنا احمد بن صالح، ومحمد بن يحيى، - وهذا حديث احمد - قالا حدثنا عبد الرزاق، عن معمر، عن الزهري، عن ابي سلمة بن عبد الرحمن بن عوف، ومحمد بن عبد الرحمن بن ثوبان، عن محمد بن اياس، ان ابن عباس، وابا، هريرة وعبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص سيلوا عن البكر، يطلقها زوجها ثلاثا فكلهم قالوا لا تحل له حتى تنكح زوجا غيره . قال ابو داود وروى مالك عن يحيى بن سعيد عن بكير بن الاشج عن معاوية بن ابي عياش انه شهد هذه القصة حين جاء محمد بن اياس بن البكير الى ابن الزبير وعاصم بن عمر فسالهما عن ذلك فقالا اذهب الى ابن عباس وابي هريرة فاني تركتهما عند عايشة - رضى الله عنها - ثم ساق هذا الخبر . قال ابو داود وقول ابن عباس هو ان الطلاق الثلاث تبين من زوجها مدخولا بها وغير مدخول بها لا تحل له حتى تنكح زوجا غيره هذا مثل خبر الصرف قال فيه ثم انه رجع عنه يعني ابن عباس

Tawus said A man called Abu Al Sahba used to ask Ibn ‘Abbas questions frequently. He asked “Do you know that when a man divorced his wife by three pronouncement before sexual intercourse with her, they (the people) made it a single divorce during the time of the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ), of Abu Bakr and in the early phase of the caliphate of ‘Umar?” Ibn “Abbas said “Yes, when a man divorced his wife by three pronouncement before sexual intercourse they made it a single divorce during the time of the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ), of Abu Bakr and in the early phase of the caliphate of ‘Umar. When he saw that the people frequently divorced (by three pronouncements) he said “Make them operative on them (i.e., on women)”

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الملك بن مروان، حدثنا ابو النعمان، حدثنا حماد بن زيد، عن ايوب، عن غير، واحد، عن طاوس، ان رجلا، يقال له ابو الصهباء كان كثير السوال لابن عباس قال اما علمت ان الرجل كان اذا طلق امراته ثلاثا قبل ان يدخل بها جعلوها واحدة على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وابي بكر وصدرا من امارة عمر قال ابن عباس بلى كان الرجل اذا طلق امراته ثلاثا قبل ان يدخل بها جعلوها واحدة على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وابي بكر وصدرا من امارة عمر فلما راى الناس قد تتابعوا فيها قال اجيزوهن عليهم

Tawus said:Abu al-Sahba' said to Ibn Abbas: Do you know that a divorce by three pronouncements was made a single one during the time of the Prophet (ﷺ), and of AbuBakr and in the early days of the caliphate of Umar? He replied: Yes

حدثنا احمد بن صالح، حدثنا عبد الرزاق، اخبرنا ابن جريج، اخبرني ابن طاوس، عن ابيه، ان ابا الصهباء، قال لابن عباس اتعلم انما كانت الثلاث تجعل واحدة على عهد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وابي بكر وثلاثا من امارة عمر قال ابن عباس نعم

‘Umar bin Al Khattab reported the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) as saying “Actions are to be judged only by intentions and a man will have only what he intended. When one’s emigration is to Allaah and His Apostle, his emigration is to Allaah and His Apostle but his emigration is to a worldly end at which he aims or to a woman whom he marries , his emigration is to that for which he emigrated

حدثنا محمد بن كثير، اخبرنا سفيان، حدثني يحيى بن سعيد، عن محمد بن ابراهيم التيمي، عن علقمة بن وقاص الليثي، قال سمعت عمر بن الخطاب، يقول قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " انما الاعمال بالنيات وانما لكل امري ما نوى فمن كانت هجرته الى الله ورسوله فهجرته الى الله ورسوله ومن كانت هجرته لدنيا يصيبها او امراة يتزوجها فهجرته الى ما هاجر اليه

‘Abd Allah bin Ka’b reported “I heard Ka’ab bin Malik. He then narrated his story about the battle of Tabuk.(Narrating the story) he added “When forty out of fifty days passed”, the messenger of the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) came and said “The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) has commanded you to keep away from your wife. He said “So, I (Ka’b bin Malik)” said “Should I divorce her or what should I do? He said “No, but only keep away from her and do not go near her”. So, I said to my wife “Go to your people and live with them until Allaah, the exalted makes a decision in this matter.”

حدثنا احمد بن عمرو بن السرح، وسليمان بن داود، قالا اخبرنا ابن وهب، اخبرني يونس، عن ابن شهاب، اخبرني عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن كعب بن مالك، ان عبد الله بن كعب، - وكان قايد كعب من بنيه حين عمي - قال سمعت كعب بن مالكفساق قصته في تبوك قال حتى اذا مضت اربعون من الخمسين اذا رسول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ياتي فقال ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يامرك ان تعتزل امراتك . قال فقلت اطلقها ام ماذا افعل قال لا بل اعتزلها فلا تقربنها . فقلت لامراتي الحقي باهلك فكوني عندهم حتى يقضي الله سبحانه في هذا الامر

A’ishah said The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) gave us our choice and we chose him so that was not reckoned anything (i.e., divorce)

حدثنا مسدد، حدثنا ابو عوانة، عن الاعمش، عن ابي الضحى، عن مسروق، عن عايشة، قالت خيرنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاخترناه فلم يعد ذلك شييا

Hammad ibn Zayd said:I asked Ayyub: Do you know anyone who narrates the tradition narrated by Al-Hasan about uttering the words (addressing wife). "Your matter is in your hand"? He replied: No, except something similar transmitted by Qatadah from Kathir, the client of Samurah, from AbuSalamah on the authority of AbuHurayrah from the Prophet (ﷺ). Ayyub said: Kathir then came to us; so I asked him (about this matter). He replied: I never narrated it. I mentioned it to Qatadah who said: Yes (he narrated it) but he forgot

حدثنا الحسن بن علي، حدثنا سليمان بن حرب، عن حماد بن زيد، قال قلت لايوب هل تعلم احدا قال بقول الحسن في امرك بيدك . قال لا الا شىء حدثناه قتادة عن كثير مولى ابن سمرة عن ابي سلمة عن ابي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بنحوه قال ايوب فقدم علينا كثير فسالته فقال ما حدثت بهذا قط فذكرته لقتادة فقال بلى ولكنه نسي

Qatadah reported on the authority of Al Hasan the uttering of the words “Your matter is in your hand” amounts to three pronouncements of divorce

حدثنا مسلم بن ابراهيم، حدثنا هشام، عن قتادة، عن الحسن، في امرك بيدك . قال ثلاث

Nafi' bun Ujair bin Abd Yazid bin Ruknah reported Ruknah bin ‘Abd Yazid divorced his wife Suhaimah absolutely. The Prophet (ﷺ) was informed about this matter. He said to him (the Prophet) I swear by Allaah that I meant it to be only a single utterance of divorce. The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) said “I swear by Allaah that I meant it to be only a single divorce. The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) restored her to him, Then he divorced her the second time in the time of ‘Umar and the third time of ‘Uthman. Abu Dawud said “This tradition contains the words of Ibrahim in its beginning and the words of Ibn Al Sarh in the end

حدثنا ابن السرح، وابراهيم بن خالد الكلبي ابو ثور، - في اخرين - قالوا حدثنا محمد بن ادريس الشافعي، حدثني عمي، محمد بن علي بن شافع عن عبد الله بن علي بن السايب، عن نافع بن عجير بن عبد يزيد بن ركانة، ان ركانة بن عبد يزيد، طلق امراته سهيمة البتة فاخبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بذلك وقال والله ما اردت الا واحدة . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " والله ما اردت الا واحدة " . فقال ركانة والله ما اردت الا واحدة . فردها اليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فطلقها الثانية في زمان عمر والثالثة في زمان عثمان . قال ابو داود اوله لفظ ابراهيم واخره لفظ ابن السرح

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Rukanah bin Yazid from the Prophet (ﷺ) through a different chain of narrators

حدثنا محمد بن يونس النسايي، ان عبد الله بن الزبير، حدثهم عن محمد بن ادريس، حدثني عمي، محمد بن علي عن ابن السايب، عن نافع بن عجير، عن ركانة بن عبد يزيد، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بهذا الحديث

Ali b. Yazid b. Rukanah reported on the authority of his father from his grandfather that he (Rukanah) divorced his wife absolutely; so he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He asked (him):What did you intend? He said: A single utterance of divorce. He said: Do you swear by Allah? He replied: I swear by Allah. He said: It stands as you intended. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is sounder than that of Ibn Juraij that Rukanah divorced his wife by three pronouncements, for they are the members of his family and they are more aware for him. The tradition of Ibn Juraij has been narrated by some children of Abu Rafi' from 'Ikrimah on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas

حدثنا سليمان بن داود العتكي، حدثنا جرير بن حازم، عن الزبير بن سعيد، عن عبد الله بن علي بن يزيد بن ركانة، عن ابيه، عن جده، انه طلق امراته البتة فاتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال " ما اردت " . قال واحدة . قال " الله " . قال الله . قال " هو على ما اردت " . قال ابو داود وهذا اصح من حديث ابن جريج ان ركانة طلق امراته ثلاثا لانهم اهل بيته وهم اعلم به وحديث ابن جريج رواه عن بعض بني ابي رافع عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying “Allah has ignored for my community what comes to their mind, so long as they do not act or pronounce words to that effect.”

حدثنا مسلم بن ابراهيم، حدثنا هشام، عن قتادة، عن زرارة بن اوفى، عن ابي هريرة، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " ان الله تجاوز لامتي عما لم تتكلم به او تعمل به وبما حدثت به انفسها

Narrated Tamimah al-Hujayni: A man said to his wife: O my younger sister! The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)said: Is she your sister? He (the Prophet disliked it and prohibited saying so)

حدثنا موسى بن اسماعيل، حدثنا حماد، ح وحدثنا ابو كامل، حدثنا عبد الواحد، وخالد الطحان، - المعنى - كلهم عن خالد، عن ابي تميمة الهجيمي، ان رجلا، قال لامراته يا اخية . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اختك هي " . فكره ذلك ونهى عنه

Abu Tamimah reported from a man of his tribe “The Prophet (ﷺ) heard a man say his wife “O my younger sister! So he prohibited him (addressing his wife in this manner) Abu Dawud said “This tradition has also been transmitted by ‘Abd Al Aziz bin Al Mukhtar from Khalid from Abu ‘Uthman from Abu Thamimah from the Prophet (ﷺ). This has also been narrated by Shu’bah from Khalid from a man on the authority of Abu Thamimah from the Prophet (ﷺ)

حدثنا محمد بن ابراهيم البزاز، حدثنا ابو نعيم، حدثنا عبد السلام، - يعني ابن حرب - عن خالد الحذاء، عن ابي تميمة، عن رجل، من قومه انه سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم سمع رجلا، يقول لامراته " يا اخية " . فنهاه . قال ابو داود ورواه عبد العزيز بن المختار عن خالد عن ابي عثمان عن ابي تميمة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ورواه شعبة عن خالد عن رجل عن ابي تميمة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet(ﷺ) as saying Abraham(peace be upon him) never told a lie except on three occasions twice for the sake of Allaah. Allaah quoted his words (in the Qur’an) “I am indeed sick” and “Nay, this was done by - this is their biggest one”. Once he was passing through the land of a tyrant (king). He stayed there in a place. People went to the tyrant and informed him saying “A man has come down here; he has a most beautiful woman with him.” So he sent for him (Abraham) and asked about her. He said she is my sister. When he returned to her, he said “he asked me about you and I informed him that you were my sister. Today there is no believer except me and you. You are my sister in the Book of Allaah (i.e., sister in faith). So do not belie me before him. The narrator then narrated the rest of the tradition. Abu Dawud said “A similar tradition has also been narrated by Shu’aib bin Abi Hamza from Abi Al Zinad from Al A’raj on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (ﷺ)

حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا عبد الوهاب، حدثنا هشام، عن محمد، عن ابي هريرة، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان ابراهيم صلى الله عليه وسلم لم يكذب قط الا ثلاثا ثنتان في ذات الله تعالى قوله { اني سقيم } وقوله { بل فعله كبيرهم هذا } وبينما هو يسير في ارض جبار من الجبابرة اذ نزل منزلا فاتي الجبار فقيل له انه نزل ها هنا رجل معه امراة هي احسن الناس قال فارسل اليه فساله عنها فقال انها اختي . فلما رجع اليها قال ان هذا سالني عنك فانباته انك اختي وانه ليس اليوم مسلم غيري وغيرك وانك اختي في كتاب الله فلا تكذبيني عنده " . وساق الحديث . قال ابو داود روى هذا الخبر شعيب بن ابي حمزة عن ابي الزناد عن الاعرج عن ابي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نحوه

Narrated Salamah ibn Sakhr al-Bayadi: I was a man who was more given than others to sexual intercourse with women. When the month of Ramadan came, I feared lest I should have intercourse with my wife, and this evil should remain with me till the morning. So I made my wife like my mother's back to me till the end of Ramadan. But one night when she was waiting upon me, something of her was revealed. Suddenly I jumped upon her. When the morning came I went to my people and informed them about this matter. I said: Go along with me to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). They said: No, by Allah. So I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him and informed him of the matter. He said: Have you really committed it, Salamah? I said: I committed it twice, Messenger of Allah. I am content with the Commandment of Allah, the Exalted; so take a decision about me according to what Allah has shown you. He said: Free a slave. I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, I do not possess a neck other than this: and I struck the surface of my neck. He said: Then fast two consecutive months. I said: Whatever I suffered is due to fasting. He said: Feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates. I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, we passed the night hungry; there was no food in our house. He said: Then go to the collector of sadaqah of Banu Zurayq; he must give it to you. Then feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates; and you and your family eat the remaining dates. Then I came back to my people, and said (to them): I found with you poverty and bad opinion; and I found with the Prophet (ﷺ) prosperity and good opinion. He has commanded me to give alms to you. Ibn al-Ala' added: Ibn Idris said: Bayadah is a sub-clan of Banu Zurayq

حدثنا عثمان بن ابي شيبة، ومحمد بن العلاء، - المعنى - قالا حدثنا ابن ادريس، عن محمد بن اسحاق، عن محمد بن عمرو بن عطاء، - قال ابن العلاء ابن علقمة بن عياش - عن سليمان بن يسار، عن سلمة بن صخر، - قال ابن العلاء البياضي - قال كنت امرا اصيب من النساء ما لا يصيب غيري فلما دخل شهر رمضان خفت ان اصيب من امراتي شييا يتابع بي حتى اصبح فظاهرت منها حتى ينسلخ شهر رمضان فبينما هي تخدمني ذات ليلة اذ تكشف لي منها شىء فلم البث ان نزوت عليها فلما اصبحت خرجت الى قومي فاخبرتهم الخبر وقلت امشوا معي الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم . قالوا لا والله . فانطلقت الى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فاخبرته فقال " انت بذاك يا سلمة " . قلت انا بذاك يا رسول الله مرتين وانا صابر لامر الله فاحكم في ما اراك الله قال " حرر رقبة " . قلت والذي بعثك بالحق ما املك رقبة غيرها وضربت صفحة رقبتي قال " فصم شهرين متتابعين " . قال وهل اصبت الذي اصبت الا من الصيام قال " فاطعم وسقا من تمر بين ستين مسكينا " . قلت والذي بعثك بالحق لقد بتنا وحشين ما لنا طعام قال " فانطلق الى صاحب صدقة بني زريق فليدفعها اليك فاطعم ستين مسكينا وسقا من تمر وكل انت وعيالك بقيتها " . فرجعت الى قومي فقلت وجدت عندكم الضيق وسوء الراى ووجدت عند النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم السعة وحسن الراى وقد امرني - او امر لي - بصدقتكم زاد ابن العلاء قال ابن ادريس بياضة بطن من بني زريق

Narrated Khuwaylah, daughter of Malik ibn Tha'labah: My husband, Aws ibn as-Samit, pronounced the words: You are like my mother. So I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), complaining to him about my husband. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) disputed with me and said: Remain dutiful to Allah; he is your cousin. I continued (complaining) until the Qur'anic verse came down: "Certainly has Allah heard the speech of the one who argues with you, [O Muhammad], concerning her husband..." [58:1] till the prescription of expiation. He then said: He should set free a slave. She said: He cannot afford it. He said: He should fast for two consecutive months. She said: Messenger of Allah, he is an old man; he cannot keep fasts. He said: He should feed sixty poor people. She said: He has nothing which he may give in alms. At that moment an araq (i.e. date-basket holding fifteen or sixteen sa's) was brought to him. I said: I shall help him with another date-basked ('araq). He said: You have done well. Go and feed sixty poor people on his behalf, and return to your cousin. The narrator said: An araq holds sixty sa's of dates. Abu Dawud said: She atoned on his behalf without seeking his permission. Abu Dawud said: This man (Aws b. al-Samit) is the brother of 'Ubadah b. al-Samit

حدثنا الحسن بن علي، حدثنا يحيى بن ادم، حدثنا ابن ادريس، عن محمد بن اسحاق، عن معمر بن عبد الله بن حنظلة، عن يوسف بن عبد الله بن سلام، عن خويلة بنت مالك بن ثعلبة، قالت ظاهر مني زوجي اوس بن الصامت فجيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اشكو اليه ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يجادلني فيه ويقول " اتقي الله فانه ابن عمك " . فما برحت حتى نزل القران { قد سمع الله قول التي تجادلك في زوجها } الى الفرض فقال " يعتق رقبة " . قالت لا يجد قال " فيصوم شهرين متتابعين " . قالت يا رسول الله انه شيخ كبير ما به من صيام . قال " فليطعم ستين مسكينا " . قالت ما عنده من شىء يتصدق به قالت فاتي ساعتيذ بعرق من تمر قلت يا رسول الله فاني اعينه بعرق اخر . قال " قد احسنت اذهبي فاطعمي بها عنه ستين مسكينا وارجعي الى ابن عمك " . قال والعرق ستون صاعا قال ابو داود في هذا انها كفرت عنه من غير ان تستامره . وقال ابو داود وهذا اخو عبادة بن الصامت
