Hadith 5321

وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فِيمَنْ تَزَوَّجَ فِي الْعِدَّةِ فَحَاضَتْ عِنْدَهُ ثَلَاثَ حِيَضٍ بَانَتْ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِ وَلَا تَحْتَسِبُ بِهِ لِمَنْ بَعْدَهُ ، وَقَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : تَحْتَسِبُ وَهَذَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى سُفْيَانَ يَعْنِي قَوْلَ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، وَقَالَ مَعْمَرٌ : يُقَالُ : أَقْرَأَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا دَنَا حَيْضُهَا وَأَقْرَأَتْ إِذَا دَنَا طُهْرُهَا ، وَيُقَالُ : مَا قَرَأَتْ بِسَلًى قَطُّ إِذَا لَمْ تَجْمَعْ وَلَدًا فِي بَطْنِهَا " .
And Ibrahim said regarding the man who married a woman during her waiting period (‘iddah), and then she stayed with him until the duration of three menstrual cycles passed, that after this she will be separated from her first husband (and this will only be considered as her ‘iddah). The waiting period of the second marriage will not be counted in this. But Zuhri said that the waiting period of the second marriage will also be counted in this, and this—i.e., the statement of Zuhri—was more preferable to Sufyan. Ma‘mar said that «أقرأت المرأة» is used when the woman’s menstruation is near. Similarly, «أقرأت» is also used when the woman’s purity is near. When a woman has never had any pregnancy in her womb, the Arabs say about her «ما قرأت بسلى قط», meaning she has never had a pregnancy.
وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ : وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ لا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلا يَخْرُجْنَ إِلا أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُ لا تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَمْرًا سورة الطلاق آية 1 أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنْتُمْ مِنْ وُجْدِكُمْ وَلا تُضَارُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ وَإِنْ كُنَّ أُولاتِ حَمْلٍ فَأَنْفِقُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ حَتَّى يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ : بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا سورة الطلاق آية 1 - 7 .
And the statement of Allah, "And fear Allah, your Lord, and do not turn them out from their houses, nor should they (themselves) leave, except in case they commit a clear immorality. These are the limits set by Allah, and whoever transgresses the limits of Allah has wronged himself. You do not know, perhaps Allah will bring about a new situation after that." Provide (the divorced women) housing according to your means, wherever you dwell, and do not harm them to distress them. And if they are pregnant, then spend on them until they deliver their burden. Until the statement of Allah, «بعد عسر يسرا‏».
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُمَا يَذْكُرَانِ ، " أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ طَلَّقَ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، فَانْتَقَلَهَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ عَائِشَةُ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِيِنَ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الحَكَمِ وَهُوَ أَمِيرُ الْمَدِينَةِ : اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَارْدُدْهَا إِلَى بَيْتِهَا " ، قَالَ مَرْوَانُ فِي حَدِيثِ سُلَيْمَانَ : إِنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ غَلَبَنِي ، وَقَالَ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ : أَوَمَا بَلَغَكِ شَأْنُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَتْ : لَا يَضُرُّكَ أَنْ لَا تَذْكُرَ حَدِيثَ فَاطِمَةَ ، فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الحَكَمِ : إِنْ كَانَ بِكِ شَرٌّ فَحَسْبُكِ مَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ مِنَ الشَّرِّ .
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."

Hadith Commentary: The intent of Aisha (radi Allahu anha) was: Why do you take evidence from the hadith of Fatimah bint Qays (radi Allahu anha)? Fatimah’s (radi Allahu anha) leaving that house was due to an excuse. Some say that the house was frightening; others say that Fatimah was a woman with a sharp tongue.
