Divorce

7.179:
Narrated Anas bin Seereen: 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 becomes helpless and
foolish?"
7.180:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: (Divorcing my wife during her menses) was
counted as one legal divorce.
7.181:
Narrated Al−Awza:
I asked Az−Zuhri, "Which of the wives of the Prophet sought
refuge with Allah from him?" He said "I was told by 'Ursa that
`Aisha said, 'When the daughter of Al−Jaun was brought to
Allah's Apostle (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."
7.182:
Narrated Abu Usaid: We went out with the Prophet to a garden
called Ash−Shaut till we reached two walls between which we
sat down. The Prophet 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 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 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 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." Narrated Sahl and Abu Usaid: The Prophet 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 ordered Abu Usaid to prepare her
and to provide her with two white linen dresses. (See Hadith
No. 541).

7.185:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As−Sa`idi: Uwaimir Al−`Ajlani came to
`Asim bin Adi Al−Ansari and asked, "O `Asim! Tell me, if a man
sees his wife with another man, should he kill him, whereupon
you would kill him in Qisas, or what should he do? O `Asim!
Please ask Allah's Apostle about that." `Asim asked Allah's
Apostle about that. Allah's Apostle disliked that question and
considered it disgraceful. What `Asim heard from Allah's
Apostle was hard on him. When he returned to his family,
'Uwaimir came to him and said "O `Asim! What did Allah's
Apostle say to you?" `Asim said, "You never bring me any good.
Allah's Apostle disliked to hear the problem which I asked him
about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not leave the matter
till I ask him about it." So 'Uwaimir proceeded till he came
to Allah's Apostle who was in the midst of the people and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! If a man finds with his wife another
man, should he kill him, whereupon you would kill him (in
Qisas): or otherwise, what should he do?" Allah's Apostle
said, "Allah has revealed something concerning the question of
you and your wife. Go and bring her here." So they both
carried out the judgment of Lian, while I was present among
the people (as a witness). When both of them had finished,
'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should now keep my
wife with me, then I have told a lie". Then he pronounced his
decision to divorce her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered
him to do so. (Ibn Shihab said, "That was the tradition for
all those who are involved in a case of Lian."
7.186:
Narrated `Aisha:
The wife of Rifa`a Al−Qurazi came to Allah's Apostle and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Rifa`a divorced me irrevocably. After him
I married `Abdur−Rahman bin Az−Zubair Al−Qurazi who proved to
be impotent." Allah's Apostle said to her, "Perhaps you want
to return to Rifa`a? Nay (you cannot return to Rifa`a) until
you and `Abdur−Rahman consummate your marriage." 7.187:
Narrated `Aisha:
A man divorced his wife thrice (by expressing his decision to
divorce her thrice), then she married another man who also
divorced her. The Prophet was asked if she could legally marry
the first husband (or not). The Prophet replied, "No, she
cannot marry the first husband unless the second husband
consummates his marriage with her, just as the first husband
had done."
7.188:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle gave us the option (to remain with him or to
be divorced) and we selected Allah and His Apostle . So,
giving us that option was not regarded as divorce.
7.189:
Narrated Musruq:
I asked `Aisha about the option: She said, "The Prophet gave
us the option. Do you think that option was considered as a
divorce?" I said, "It matters little to me if I give my wife
the option once or a hundred times after she has chosen me."
7.190:
Narrated `Aisha:
A man divorced his wife and she married another man who proved
to be impotent and divorced her. She could not get her
satisfaction from him, and after a while he divorced her. Then
she came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! My first
husband divorced me and then I married another man who entered
upon me to consummate his marriage but he proved to be
impotent and did not approach me except once during which he
benefited nothing from me. Can I remarry my first husband in
this case?" Allah's Apostle said, "It is unlawful to marry
your first husband till the other husband consummates his
marriage with you."
7.191:
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: that he heard Ibn `Abbas saying,
"If a man makes his wife unlawful for him, it does not mean
that she is divorced." He added, "Indeed in the Apostle of
Allah , you have a good example to follow."
7.192:
Narrated `Ubaid bin `Umar: I heard `Aisha saying, "The Prophet
used to stay for a long while with Zanab bint Jahsh and drink
honey at her house. So Hafsa and I decided that if the Prophet
came to anyone of us, she should say him, "I detect the smell
of Maghafir (a nasty smelling gum) in you. Have you eaten
Maghafir?' " So the Prophet visited one of them and she said
to him similarly. The Prophet said, "Never mind, I have taken
some honey at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, but I shall
never drink of it anymore." So there was revealed: 'O Prophet
! Why do you ban (for you) that which Allah has made lawful
for you . . . If you two (wives of Prophet) turn in repentance
to Allah,' (66.1−4) addressing Aisha and Hafsa. 'When the
Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to some of his
wives.' (66.3) namely his saying: But I have taken some
honey."
7.193:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle was fond of honey and sweet edible things and
(it was his habit) that after finishing the `Asr prayer he
would visit his wives and stay with one of them at that time.
Once he went to Hafsa, the daughter of `Umar and stayed with
her more than usual. I got jealous and asked the reason for
that. I was told that a lady of her folk had given her a skin
filled with honey as a present, and that she made a syrup from
it and gave it to the Prophet to drink (and that was the
reason for the delay). I said, "By Allah we will play a trick
on him (to prevent him from doing so)." So I said to Sa`da
bint Zam`a "The Prophet will approach you, and when he comes
near you, say: 'Have you taken Maghafir (a bad−smelling gum)?'
He will say, 'No.' Then say to him: 'Then what is this bad
smell which i smell from you?' He will say to you, 'Hafsa made
me drink honey syrup.' Then say: Perhaps the bees of that
honey had sucked the juice of the tree of Al−`Urfut.' I shall
also say the same. O you, Safiyya, say the same." Later Sa`da
said, "By Allah, as soon as he (the Prophet ) stood at the
door, I was about to say to him what you had ordered me to say
because I was afraid of you." So when the Prophet came near
Sa`da, she said to him, "O Allah's Apostle! Have you taken
Maghafir?" He said, "No." She said. "Then what is this bad
smell which I detect on you?" He said, "Hafsa made me drink
honey syrup." She said, "Perhaps its bees had sucked the juice
of Al−`Urfut tree." When he came to me, I also said the same,
and when he went to Safiyya, she also said the same. And when
the Prophet again went to Hafsa, she said, 'O Allah's Apostle!
Shall I give you more of that drink?" He said, "I am not in
need of it." Sa`da said, "By Allah, we deprived him (of it)."
I said to her, "Keep quiet." '
7.194:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah has forgiven my
followers the evil thoughts that occur to their minds, as long
as such thoughts are not put into action or uttered." And
Qatada said, "If someone divorces his wife just in his mind,
such an unuttered divorce has no effect.:
7.195:
Narrated Jabir:
A man from the tribe of Bani Aslam came to the Prophet while
he was in the mosque and said, "I have committed illegal
sexual intercourse." The Prophet turned his face to the other
side. The man turned towards the side towards which the
Prophet had turned his face, and gave four witnesses against
himself. On that the Prophet called him and said, "Are you
insane?" (He added), "Are you married?" The man said, 'Yes."
On that the Prophet ordered him to be stoned to the death in
the Musalla (a praying place). When the stones hit him with
their sharp edges and he fled, but he was caught at Al−Harra
and then killed
7.196:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man from Bani Aslam came to Allah's
Apostle while he was in the mosque and called (the Prophet )
saying, "O Allah's Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual
intercourse." On that the Prophet turned his face from him to
the other side, whereupon the man moved to the side towards
which the Prophet had turned his face, and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The
Prophet turned his face (from him) to the other side whereupon
the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet had turned
his face, and repeated his statement. The Prophet turned his
face (from him) to the other side again. The man moved again
(and repeated his statement) for the fourth time. So when the
man had given witness four times against himself, the Prophet
called him and said, "Are you insane?" He replied, "No." The
Prophet then said (to his companions), "Go and stone him to
death." The man was a married one. Jabir bin `Abdullah
Al−Ansari said: I was one of those who stoned him. We stoned
him at the Musalla (`Id praying place) in Medina. When the
stones hit him with their sharp edges, he fled, but we caught
him at Al−Harra and stoned him till he died.
7.197:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The wife of Thabit bin Qais came to the
Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I do not blame Thabit
for defects in his character or his religion, but I, being a
Muslim, dislike to behave in un−Islamic manner (if I remain
with him)." On that Allah's Apostle said (to her), "Will you
give back the garden which your husband has given you (as
Mahr)?" She said, "Yes." Then the Prophet said to Thabit, "O
Thabit! Accept your garden, and divorce her once."
7.198:
Narrated `Ikrima:
The sister of `Abdullah bin Ubai narrated (the above
narration, 197) with the addition that the Prophet said to
Thabit's wife, "Will you return his garden?" She said, "Yes,"
and returned it, and (then) the Prophet ordered Thabit to
divorce her. Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The wife of Thabit bin Qais
came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I do not
blame Thabit for any defects in his character or his religion,
but I cannot endure to live with him." On that Allah's Apostle
said, "Will you return his garden to him?" She said, "Yes."
7.199:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The wife of Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas
came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I do not
blame Thabit for any defects in his character or his religion,
but I am afraid that I (being a Muslim) may become unthankful
for Allah's Blessings." On that, Allah's Apostle said (to
her), 'Will you return his garden to him?" She said, "Yes." So
she returned his garden to him and the Prophet told him to
divorce her.
7.200:
Narrated `Ikrima:
that Jamila... Then he related the whole ,Hadith, (i.e. 199).
7.201:
Narrated Al−Miswar bin Makhrama Az−Zuhri: I heard the Prophet
saying, "Banu Al−Mughira have asked my leave to let `Ali marry
their daughter, but I give no leave to this effect." 7.202:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) Three traditions were established
concerning situations in which Barra was involved: When she
was manumitted, she was given the option to keep her husband
or leave him; Allah's Apostle said, "The wala is for the one
who manumits, Once Allah's Apostle entered the house while
some meat was being cooked in a pot, but only bread and some
soup of the house were placed before, him. He said, "Don't I
see the pot containing meat?" They said, "Yes, but that meat
was given to Barira in charity (by someone), and you do not
eat what it given in charity."The Prophet said "That meat is
alms for her, but for us it is a present."
7.203:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I saw him as a slave, (namely, Barira's
husband).
7.204:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: That was Mughith, the slave of Bani
so−and−so, i.e., Barira's husband as if I am now looking at
him following her (Barira) along the streets of Medina.
7.205:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Barira's husband was a black slave called
Mughith, the slave of Bani so−and−so−− as if I am seeing him
now, walking behind her along the streets of Medina.
7.206:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Barira's husband was a slave called
Mughith, as if I am seeing him now, going behind Barira and
weeping with his tears flowing down his beard. The Prophet
said to `Abbas, "O `Abbas ! are you not astonished at the love
of Mughith for Barira and the hatred of Barira for Mughith?"
The Prophet then said to Barira, "Why don't you return to
him?" She said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you order me to do so?"
He said, "No, I only intercede for him." She said, "I am not
in need of him." 7.207:
Narrated Al−Aswad: Aisha intended to buy Barira, but her
masters stipulated that her wala wound be for them. Aisha
mentioned that to the Prophet who said (to `Aisha), "Buy and
manumit her, for the wala is for the one who manumits." Once
some me; was brought to the Prophet and was said, "This meat
was given in charity to Barira. " The Prophet said, "It an
object of charity for Barira and present for us."
7.208:
Narrated Adam:
Shu`ba relate the same Hadith and added: Barira was given the
option regarding her husband.
7.209:
Narrated Nafi`:
Whenever Ibn `Umar was asked about marrying a Christian lady
or a Jewess, he would say: "Allah has made it unlawful for the
believers to marry ladies who ascribe partners in worship to
Allah, and I do not know of a greater thing, as regards to
ascribing partners in worship, etc. to Allah, than that a lady
should say that Jesus is her Lord although he is just one of
Allah's slaves."
7.210:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The pagans were of two kinds as regards
their relationship to the Prophet and the Believers. Some of
them were those with whom the Prophet was at war and used to
fight against, and they used to fight him; the others were
those with whom the Prophet made a treaty, and neither did the
Prophet fight them, nor did they fight him. If a lady from the
first group of pagans emigrated towards the Muslims, her hand
would not be asked in marriage unless she got the menses and
then became clean. When she became clean, it would be lawful
for her to get married, and if her husband emigrated too
before she got married, then she would be returned to him. If
any slave or female slave emigrated from them to the Muslims,
then they would be considered free persons (not slaves) and
they would have the same rights as given to other emigrants.
The narrator then mentioned about the pagans involved with the
Muslims in a treaty, the same as occurs in Mujahid's
narration. If a male slave or a female slave emigrated from
such pagans as had made a treaty with the Muslims, they would
not be returned, but their prices would be paid (to the
pagans). Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Qariba, the daughter of Abi
Umaiyya, was the wife of `Umar bin Al−Khattab. `Umar divorced
her and then Mu'awiyya bin Abi Sufyan married her. Similarly,
Um Al−Hakam, the daughter of Abi Sufyan was the wife of 'Iyad
bin Ghanm Al−Fihri. He divorced her and then `Abdullah bin
`Uthman Al−Thaqafi married her.
7.211:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) When believing women came to the
Prophet as emigrants, he used to test them in accordance with
the order of Allah. 'O you who believe! When believing women
come to you as emigrants, examine them . . .' (60.10) So if
anyone of those believing women accepted the above mentioned
conditions, she accepted the conditions of faith. When they
agreed on those conditions and confessed that with their
tongues, Allah's Apostle would say to them, "Go, I have
accepted your oath of allegiance (for Islam). By Allah, and
hand of Allah's Apostle never touched the hand of any woman,
but he only used to take their pledge of allegiance orally. By
Allah, Allah's Apostle did not take the pledge of allegiance
of the women except in accordance with what Allah had ordered
him. When he accepted their pledge of allegiance he would say
to them, "I have accepted your oath of allegiance."
7.212:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle took an oath that he
would abstain from his wives, and at that time his leg had
been sprained (dislocated). So he stayed in the Mashruba (an
attic room) of his for 29 days. Then he came down, and they
(the people) said, "O Allah's Apostle! You took an oath to
abstain from your wives for one month." He said, "The month is
of twenty nine days."
7.213:
Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar used to say about the Ila (which Allah defined (in
the Holy Book), "If the period of Ila expires, then the
husband has either to retain his wife in a handsome manner or
to divorce her as Allah has ordered." Ibn `Umar added, "When
the period of four months has expired, the husband should be
put in prison so that he should divorce his wife, but the
divorce does not occur unless the husband himself declares it.
This has been mentioned by `Uthman, `Ali, Abu Ad−Darda, `Aisha
and twelve other companions of the Prophet ."
7.214:
Narrated Yazid:
(the Maula of Munba'ith) The Prophet was asked regarding the
case of a lost sheep. He said, "You should take it, because it
is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf." Then he was
asked about a lost camel. He got angry and his face became red
and he said (to the questioner), "You have nothing to do with
it; it has its feet and its water container with it; it can go
on drinking water and eating trees till its owner meets it."
And then the Prophet was asked about a Luqata (money found by
somebody). He said, "Remember and recognize its tying material
and its container, and make public announcement about it for
one year. If somebody comes and identifies it (then give it to
him), otherwise add it to your property."
7.215:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle performed the Tawaf
(around the Ka`ba while riding his camel, and every time he
reached the corner (of the Black Stone) he pointed at it with
his hand and said, "Allahu Akbar." (Zainab said: The Prophet
said, "An opening has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog
like this and this," forming the number 90 (with his thumb and
index finger).
7.216.1:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Abul Qasim (the Prophet ) said, "There
is an hour (or a moment) of particular significance on Friday.
If it happens that a Muslim is offering a prayer and invoking
Allah for some good at that very moment, Allah will grant him
his request." (The sub−narrator placed the top of his finger
on the palm of the other hand between the middle finger and
the little one.)
7.216.2:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: During the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle a Jew attacked a girl and took some silver ornaments
she was wearing and crushed her head. Her relative brought her
to the Prophet while she was in her last breaths, and she was
unable to speak. Allah's Apostle asked her, "Who has hit you?
So−and so?", mentioning somebody other than her murderer. She
moved her head, indicating denial. The Prophet mentioned
another person other than the murderer, and she again moved
her head indicating denial. Then he asked, "Was it
so−and−so?", mentioning the name of her killer. She nodded,
agreeing. Then Allah's Apostle; ordered that the head of that
Jew be crushed between two stones.
7.217:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: I heard the Prophet saying, "Afflictions
will emerge from here," pointing towards the East.
7.218:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi A'ufa: We were with Allah's Apostle
on a journey, and when the sun set, he said to a man, "Get
down and prepare a drink of Sawiq for me." The man said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Will you wait till it is evening?" Allah's
Apostle again said, "Get down and prepare a drink of Sawiq."
The man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Will you wait till it is
evening, for it is still daytime. " The Prophet again said,
"Get down and prepare a drink of Sawiq." So the third time the
man got down and prepared a drink of sawiq for him. Allah's
Apostle drank thereof and pointed with his hand towards the
East, saying, "When you see the night falling from this side,
then a fasting person should break his fast."
7.219.1:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: The Prophet said, "The call (or
the Adhan) of Bila should not stop you from taking the
Suhur−meals for Bilal calls (or pronounces the Adhan) so that
the one who is offering the night prayer should take a rest,
and he does not indicate the daybreak or dawn." The narrator,
Yazid, described (how dawn breaks) by stretching out his hands
and then separating them wide apart.
7.219.2:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, The example of a
miser and a generous person is like that of two persons
wearing iron cloaks from the breast upto the neck When the
generous person spends, the iron cloak enlarges and spread
over his skin so much so that it covers his fingertips and
obliterates his tracks. As for the miser, as soon as he thinks
of spending every ring of the iron cloak sticks to its place
(against his body) and he tries to expand it, but it does not
expand. The Prophet pointed with his hand towards his throat.
7.220:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle said, "Shall I tell
you of the best families among the Ansar?" They (the people)
said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, "The best
are Banu− An−Najjar, and after them are Banu `Abdil Ash−hal,
and after them are Banu Al−Harith bin Al−Khazraj, and after
them are Banu Sa`ida." The Prophet then moved his hand by
closing his fingers and then opening them like one throwing
something, and then said, "Anyhow, there is good in all the
families of the Ansar. "
7.221:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As−Sa`idi: (a companion of Allah's
Apostle) Allah's Apostle, holding out his middle and index
fingers, said, "My advent and the Hour's are like this (or
like these)," namely, the period between his era and the Hour
is like the distance between those two fingers, i.e., very
short.
7.222:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet (holding out his ten fingers
thrice), said, "The month is thus and thus and thus," namely
thirty days. Then (holding out his ten fingers twice and then
nine fingers), he said, "It may be thus and thus and thus,"
namely twenty nine days. He meant once thirty days and once
twenty nine days.
7.223:
Narrated Abu Masud: The Prophet pointed with his hand towards
Yemen and said twice, "Faith is there," and then pointed
towards the East, and said, "Verily, sternness and
mercilessness are the qualities of those who are busy with
their camels and pay no attention to their religion, where the
two sides of the head of Satan will appear," namely, the
tribes of Rabl'a and Muqar.
7.224:
Narrated Sahl:
Allah's Apostle said, "I and the one who looks after an orphan
will be like this in Paradise," showing his middle and index
fingers and separating them. 7.225:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to the Prophet and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! A black child has been born for me." The
Prophet asked him, "Have you got camels?" The man said, "Yes."
The Prophet asked him, "What color are they?" The man replied,
"Red." The Prophet said, "Is there a grey one among them?' The
man replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Whence comes that?" He
said, "May be it is because of heredity." The Prophet said,
"May be your latest son has this color because of heredity."
7.226:
Narrated `Abdullah: An Ansari man accused his wife (of
committing illegal sexual intercourse). The Prophet made both
of them takes the oath of Lian, and separated them from each
other (by divorce). 7.227:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Hilal bin Umaiyya accused his wife of
illegal sexual intercourse and came to the Prophet to bear
witness (against her), (taking the oath of Lian). The Prophet
was saying, "Allah knows that either of you is a liar. Will
anyone of you repent (to Allah)?" Then the lady got up and
gave her witness.
7.228:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As−Sa`idi: 'Uwaimir Al−Ajlani came to
`Asim bin Ad Al−Ansari and said to him, "O `Asim! Suppose a
man saw another man with his wife, would he kill him whereupon
you would kill him; or what should he do? Please, O `Asim, ask
about this on my behalf." `Asim asked Allah's Apostle about
it. Allah's Apostle, disliked that question and considered it
disgraceful. What `Asim heard from Allah's Apostle was hard on
him. When `Asim returned to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him
and said, "O `Asim! What did Allah's Apostle. say to you?"
`Asim said to 'Uwaimir, "You never bring me any good. Allah's
Apostle disliked the problem which I asked him about."
'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not give up this matter until
I ask the Prophet about it." So 'Uwaimir proceeded till he
came to Allah's Apostle in the midst of people, and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! If a man sees another man with his wife,
would he kill him, whereupon you would kill him, or what
should he do?" Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has revealed some
decree as regards you and your wives case. Go and bring her."
So they carried out the process of Lian while I was present
among the people with Allah's Apostle. When they had finished
their Lian, 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should now
keep her with me as a wife, then I have told a lie." So he
divorced her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered him. (Ibn
Shihab said: So divorce was the tradition for all those who
were involved in a case of Lian.)
7.229:
Narrated Ibn Juraij: Ibn Shihab informed me of Lian and the
tradition related to it, referring to the narration of Sahl
bin Sa`d, the brother of Bani Sa`idi He said, "An Ansari man
came to Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! If a man
saw another man with his wife, should he kill him, or what
should he do?' So Allah revealed concerning his affair what is
mentioned in the Holy Qur'an about the affair of those
involved in a case of Lian. The Prophet said, 'Allah has given
His verdict regarding you and your wife.' So they carried out
Lian in the mosque while I was present there. When they had
finished, the man said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should now
keep her with me as a wife then I have told a lie about her.
Then he divorced her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered
him, when they had finished the Lian process. So he divorced
her in front of the Prophet ." Ibn Shihab added, "After their
case, it became a tradition that a couple involved in a case
of Lian should be separated by divorce. That lady was pregnant
then, and later on her son was called by his mother's name.
The tradition concerning their inheritance was that she would
be his heir and he would inherit of her property the share
Allah had prescribed for him." Ibn Shihab said that Sahl bin
Sa`d As'Saidi said that the Prophet said (in the above
narration), "If that lady delivers a small red child like a
lizard, then the lady has spoken the truth and the man was a
liar, but if she delivers a child with black eyes and huge
lips, then her husband has spoken the truth." Then she
delivered it in the shape one would dislike (as it proved her
guilty).
7.230:
Narrated Al−Qasim bin Muhammad: Ibn `Abbas; said, "Once Lian
was mentioned before the Prophet whereupon `Asim bin Adi said
something and went away. Then a man from his tribe came to
him, complaining that he had found a man width his wife. `Asim
said, 'I have not been put to task except for my statement
(about Lian).' `Asim took the man to the Prophet and the man
told him of the state in which he had found his wife. The man
was pale, thin, and of lank hair, while the other man whom he
claimed he had seen with his wife, was brown, fat and had much
flesh on his calves. The Prophet invoked, saying, 'O Allah!
Reveal the truth.' So that lady delivered a child resembling
the man whom her husband had mentioned he had found her with.
The Prophet then made them carry out Lian." Then a man from
that gathering asked Ibn `Abbas, "Was she the same lady
regarding which the Prophet had said, 'If I were to stone to
death someone without witness, I would have stoned this
lady'?" Ibn `Abbas said, "No, that was another lady who,
though being a Muslim, used to arouse suspicion by her
outright misbehavior. "
7.231:
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: I asked Ibn `Umar, "(What is the
verdict if) a man accuses his wife of illegal sexual
intercourse?" Ibn `Umar said, "The Prophet separated (by
divorce) the couple of Bani Al−Ajlan, and said, (to them),
'Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you
repent?' But both of them refused. He again said, 'Allah knows
that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But
both of them refused. So he separated them by divorce."
(Aiyub, a sub−narrator said: `Amr bin Dinar said to me, "There
is something else in this Hadith which you have not mentioned.
It goes thus: The man said, 'What about my money (i.e. the
Mahr that I have given to my wife)?' It was said, 'You have no
right to restore any money, for if you have spoken the truth
(as regards the accusation), you have also consummated your
marriage with her; and if you have told a lie, you are less
rightful to have your money back.' ")
7.232:
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: I asked Ibn `Umar about those who
were involved in a case of Lien. He said, "The Prophet 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 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
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)?' "
7.233:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Apostle separated (divorced) the
wife from her husband who accused her for an illegal sexual
intercourse, and made them take the oath of Lian .
7.234:

wife carry out Lian, and then separated them by divorce.
7.235:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet made a man and his wife carry
out Lian, and the husband repudiated her child. So the Prophet
got them separated (by divorce) and decided that the child
belonged to the mother only.
7.236:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Those involved in a case of Lian were
mentioned before Allah's Apostle `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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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 Apostle ordered them to carry out Lien. A man from
that gathering said to Ibn `Abbas, "Was she the same lady
regarding whom Allah's Apostle 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."

Narrated `Aisha:
Rifa`a Al−Qurazi married a lady and then divorced her
whereupon she married another man. She came to the Prophet and
said that her new husband did not approach her, and that he
was completely impotent. The Prophet said (to her), "No (you
cannot remarry your first husband) till you taste the second
husband and he tastes you (i.e. till he consummates his
marriage with you).
7.239:
Narrated Um Salama: (the wife of the Prophet) A lady from Bani
Aslam, called Subai'a, become a widow while she was pregnant.
Abu As−Sanabil bin Ba'kak demanded her hand in marriage, but
she refused to marry him and said, "By Allah, I cannot marry
him unless I have completed one of the two prescribed
periods." About ten days later (after having delivered her
child), she went to the Prophet and he said (to her), "You can
marry now."
7.240:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abdullah: that his father had written
to Ibn Al−Arqam a letter asking him to ask Subai'a Al−Aslamiya
how the Prophet had given her the verdict. She said, "The
Prophet, gave me his verdict that after I gave birth, I could
marry."
7.241:
Narrated Al−Miswer bin Makhrama: Subai'a Al−Aslamiya gave
birth to a child a few days after the death of her husband.
She came to the Prophet and asked permission to remarry, and
the Prophet gave her permission, and she got married.
7.242:
Narrated Qasim bin Muhammad and Sulaiman bin Yasar: that Yahya
bin Sa`id bin Al−`As divorced the daughter of `Abdur−Rahman
bin Al−Hakarn. `Abdur−Rahman took her to his house. On that
`Aisha sent a message to Marwan bin Al−Hakam who was the ruler
of Medina, saying, "Fear Allah, and urge your brother) to
return her to her house." Marwan (in Sulaiman's version) said,
"Abdur−Rahman bin Al−Hakam did not obey me (or had a
convincing 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 `Aisha, "The reason that made
Fatima bint Qais go to her father's house is just applicable
to the daughter of `Abdur−Rahman."
7.243:
Narrated Al−Qasim: Aisha said, "What is wrong with Fatima? Why
doesn't she fear Allah?" by saying that a divorced lady is not
entitled to be provided with residence and sustenance (by her
husband). 7.244:
Narrated Qasim:
Ursa said to Aisha, "Do you know so−and−so, the daughter of
Al−Hakam? Her husband divorced her irrevocably and she left
(her husband's house)." `Aisha said, "What a bad thing she has
done!" 'Ursa said (to `Aisha), "Haven't you heard the
statement of Fatima?" `Aisha replied, "It is not in her favor
to mention." 'Ursa added, `Aisha reproached (Fatima) severely
and said, "Fatima was in a lonely place, and she was proned to
danger, so the Prophet allowed her (to go out of her husband's
house).
7.245:
Narrated 'Ursa:
Aisha disapproved of what Fatima used to say.'
7.246:
Narrated `Aisha:
When Allah's Apostle decided to leave Mecca after the Hajj, he
saw Safiyya, sad and standing at the entrance of her tent. He
said to her, "Aqr (or) Halq! You will detain us. Did you
perform Tawaf−al−Ifada on the day of Nahr? She said, "Yes." He
said, "Then you can depart."
7.247:
Narrated Al−Hasan: Ma'qil gave his sister in marriage and
later her husband divorced her once. 7.248:
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 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.
7.249:
Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar bin Al−Khattab divorced his wife during her menses.
Allah's Apostle 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 has ordered me so."
7.250:
Narrated Yunus Ibn Jubair: Ibn `Umar divorced his wife while
she was having her menses. `Umar asked the Prophet 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)?"
7.251:
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 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 Apostle 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 Apostle
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.' " Zainab further said, "I heard
my mother, Um Salama saying that a woman came to Allah's
Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! The husband of my
daughter has died and she is suffering from an eye disease,
can she apply kohl to her eye?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No,"
twice or thrice. (Every time she repeated her question) he
said, "No." Then Allah's Apostle 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." I 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."
7.252:
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 Apostle, 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." Narrated Um Habiba: The Prophet 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."
7.253:
Narrated Um 'Atiyya: We were forbidden to mourn for more than
three days except for a husband.
7.254:
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.
7.255:
Narrated Um 'Atiyya: The Prophet 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 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).
7.256:
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.
7.257:
Narrated Zainab bint Um Salama: When Um Habiba bint Abi Sufyan
was informed of her father's death, she asked for perfume and
rubbed it over her arms and said, "I am not in need of
perfume, but I have heard the Prophet saying, "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
the (mourning) period is four months and ten days."
7.258:
Narrated Abu Mas`ud: The Prophet prohibited taking the price
of a dog, the earnings of a soothsayer and the money earned by
prostitution.
7.259:
Narrated Abu Juhaifa: The Prophet cursed the lady who
practices tattooing and the one who gets herself tattooed, and
one who eats (takes) Riba' (usury) and the one who gives it.
And he prohibited taking the price of a dog, and the money
earned by prostitution, and cursed the makers of pictures.
7.260:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet forbade taking the earnings
of a slave girl by prostitution.
7.261:
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: I said to Ibn `Umar, "If a man
accuses his wife of illegal sexual intercourse (what is the
judgment)?" He said, "Allah's Prophet separated the couple of
Bani 'Ajlan (when the husband accused his wife for an illegal
sexual intercourse). The Prophet said, 'Allah knows that one
of you two IS a liar; so will one of you repent?' But they
refused. He then again said, 'Allah knows that one of you two
is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But they refused,
whereupon he separated them by divorce." Aiyub (a
sub−narrator) said: `Amr bin Dinar said to me, "In the
narration there is something which I do not see you
mentioning, i.e. the husband said, "What about my money
(Mahr)?' The Prophet said, "You are not entitled to take back
money, for if you told the truth you have already entered upon
her (and consummated your marriage with her) and if you are a
liar then you are less entitled to take it back.
7.262:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet said to those who were
involved in a case of Lian, "Your accounts are with Allah. One
of you two is a liar. You (husband) have right on her (wife)."
The husband said, "My money, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet
said, "You are not entitled to take back any money. If you
have told the truth, the Mahr that you paid, was for having
sexual relations with her lawfully; and if you are a liar,
then you are less entitled to get it back."
