The Prophet (ﷺ) married 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 (ﷺ) ordered Abu Usaid to prepare her and to provide her with two
white linen dresses.

similarly as above (182).

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 (ﷺ) and mentioned that to him. The Prophet (ﷺ) 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). ”

(Divorcing my wife during her menses) was counted as one legal divorce.

I asked Az-Zuhri, “Which of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) sought refuge with Allah from him?” He said “I
was told by ‘Urwa that `Aisha said, ‘When the daughter of Al-Jaun was brought to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (as
his bride) and he went near her, she said, “I seek refuge with Allah from you.” He said, “You have
sought refuge with The Great; return to your family.”

We went out with the Prophet (ﷺ) to a garden called Ash-Shaut till we reached two walls between which
we sat down. The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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.”

Abu Bakr admonished me and poked me with his hands in the flank, and nothing stopped me from
moving at that time except the position of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) whose head was on my thigh.

that he had divorced his wife while she was menstruating during the lifetime of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) .
`Umar bin Al-Khattab asked Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about that. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) 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.”

Ibn `Umar said: “I divorced my wife while she was menstruating. `Umar mentioned that to the
Prophet . The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 becomes helpless and foolish?”

We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) in Ghazwa, and when we returned and approached Medina, I wanted to
hurry while riding a slow camel. A rider overtook me and pricked my camel with a spear which he
had, whereupon my camel started running as fast as any other fast camel you may see. I looked back,
and behold, the rider was Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) . I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I am newly married ” He asked,
“Have you got married?” I replied, “Yes.” He said, “A virgin or a matron?” I replied, “(Not a virgin)
but a matron” He said, “Why didn’t you marry a young girl so that you could play with her and she
with you?” When we reached (near Medina) and were going to enter it, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Wait till
you enter your home early in the night so that the lady whose hair is unkempt may comb her hair and
that the lady whose husband has been away may shave her pubic hair.”
