Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: I asked Ibn `Umar about those who were involved in a case of Lien. He said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said to
those who were involved in a case of Lien, 'Your accounts are with Allah. One of you two is a liar,
and you (the husband) have no right over her (she is divorced)." The man said, 'What about my
property (Mahr) ?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'You have no right to get back your property. If you have told the
truth about her then your property was for the consummation of your marriage with her; and if you
told a lie about her, then you are less rightful to get your property back.' " Sufyan, a sub-narrator said:
I learned the Hadith from `Amr. Narrated Aiyub: I heard Sa`id bin Jubair saying, "I asked Ibn `Umar,
'If a man (accuses his wife for an illegal sexual intercourse and) carries out the process of Lian (what
will happen)?' Ibn `Umar set two of his fingers apart. (Sufyan set his index finger and middle finger
apart.) Ibn `Umar said, 'The Prophet (ﷺ) separated the couple of Bani Al-Ajlan by divorce and said thrice,
"Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent (to Allah)?' "

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Those involved in a case of Lian were mentioned before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) `Asim bin Adi said
something about that and then left. Later on a man from his tribe came to him and told him that he had
found another man with his wife. On that `Asim said, "I have not been put to task except for what I
have said (about Lian)." `Asim took the man to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he told him of the state in which
he found his wife. The man was pale, thin and lank-haired, while the other man whom he had found
with his wife was brown, fat with thick calves and curly hair. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! Reveal
the truth." Then the lady delivered a child resembling the man whom her husband had mentioned he
had found with her. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered them to carry out Lien. A man from that gathering said
to Ibn `Abbas, "Was she the same lady regarding whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'If I were to stone to
death someone without witnesses, I would have stoned this lady'?" Ibn `Abbas said, "No, that was
another lady who, though being a Muslim, used to arouse suspicion because of her outright
misbehavior."

argument)." (In Al-Qasim's versions Marwan said, "Have you not heard of the case of Fatima bint
Qais?" Aisha said, "The case of Fatima bint Qais is not in your favor.' Marwan bin Al-Hakam said to

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.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَةً لَهُ وَهْىَ حَائِضٌ تَطْلِيقَةً وَاحِدَةً، فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا، ثُمَّ يُمْسِكَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ تَحِيضَ عِنْدَهُ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى، ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ مِنْ حَيْضِهَا، فَإِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا فَلْيُطَلِّقْهَا حِينَ تَطْهُرُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا، فَتِلْكَ الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ. وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لأَحَدِهِمْ إِنْ كُنْتَ طَلَّقْتَهَا ثَلاَثًا فَقَدْ حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْكَ، حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ. وَزَادَ فِيهِ غَيْرُهُ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لَوْ طَلَّقْتَ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَنِي بِهَذَا.
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."
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)?"
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.'"
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.'"
