Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 7171 — What Has Been Reported Regarding the Divorce

عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ غَيْلَانَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ الثَّقَفِيَّ أَسْلَمَ وَتَحْتَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي عَهْدِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ طَلَّقَ نِسَاءَهُ وَقَسَّمَ مَالَهُ بَيْنَ بَنِيهِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّ الشَّيْطَانَ فِيمَا يَسْتَرِقُ مِنَ السَّمْعِ سَمِعَ بِمَوْتِكَ فَقَذَفَهُ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ لَا تَمْكُثَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا وَأَيْمُ اللَّهِ لَتُرَاجِعَنَّ نِسَاءَكَ وَلَتَرْجِعَنَّ فِي مَالِكَ أَوْ لَأُوَرِّثُهُنَّ مِنْكَ وَلَآمُرَنَّ بِقَبْرِكَ فَيُرْجَمُ كَمَا رُجِمَ قَبْرُ أَبِي رِغَالٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Ghailan bin Salamah Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam, he had ten wives. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Select four wives from among them." During the era of Farooq (i.e., the caliphate of Umar), Sayyiduna Ghailan (may Allah be pleased with him) divorced all his wives and distributed all his wealth among his sons. When this news reached Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he summoned him and said: "I think that Satan, having heard the news of your death from the angels, has put this idea into your heart, and now perhaps only a little of your life remains. By Allah! Either you return to your wives and give them back their wealth, or I myself will make those wives your heirs and will order that your grave be stoned as the grave of Abu Righal was stoned."
