حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ أَبُو ثَوْرٍ فِي آخَرِينَ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الشَّافِعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عُجَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ ، أَنَّ رُكَانَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ يَزِيدَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ سُهَيْمَةَ الْبَتَّةَ ، فَأَخْبَرَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ ، وَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَدْتُ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً ؟ " فَقَالَ رُكَانَةُ : وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَدْتُ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً ، فَرَدَّهَا إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَطَلَّقَهَا الثَّانِيَةَ فِي زَمَانِ عُمَرَ وَالثَّالِثَةَ فِي زَمَانِ عُثْمَانَ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : أَوَّلُهُ لَفْظُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآخِرُهُ لَفْظُ ابْنِ السَّرْحِ .
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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “I swear by Allaah that I meant it to be only a single divorce. The Messenger of Allah 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.
Hadith 2207
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ النَّسَائِيُّ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ ابْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عُجَيْرٍ ، عَنْ رُكَانَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Rukanah bin Yazid from the Prophet ﷺ through a different chain of narrators.
Hadith 2208
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْعَتَكِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ الْبَتَّةَ ، فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا أَرَدْتَ ؟ " قَالَ : وَاحِدَةً ، قَالَ : " آللَّهِ ؟ " قَالَ : آللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " هُوَ عَلَى مَا أَرَدْتَ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَنَّ رُكَانَةَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ وَهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ . وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ رَوَاهُ عَنْ بَعْضِ بَنِي أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ .
Ali bin Yazid bin 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.
