Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 17311 — How long an impotent man is given

Yahya bin Sa'id narrates from one of his shaykhs that Sayyiduna Abu Halimah Mu'adh al-Qari (may Allah be pleased with him) married the daughter of Sayyiduna Harithah bin al-Nu'man al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), but he was unable to have intercourse with her. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him a respite of one year. Yahya said: Yahya bin Abd al-Rahman al-Ansari told me that when the year had passed, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) separated the two of them and said: "All praise is for Allah who has resolved the matter of Harithah's daughter."
