Mishkat al-Masabih 4940 — The Mother’s Preference Comes Before One’s
وَعَن ابنِ عمَرَ قَالَ: كَانَتْ تَحْتِي امْرَأَةٌ أُحِبُّهَا وَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَكْرَهُهَا. فَقَالَ لِي: طَلِّقْهَا فَأَبَيْتُ. فَأَتَى عُمَرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «طَلِّقْهَا» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I had a wife whom I liked, but Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked her. He said to me: "Divorce her." I refused, so Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and mentioned this incident to him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me: "Divorce her." Its chain is Hasan. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawood.
