Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 17557 — A missing man who returns after

Al-Sha'bi said: Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about a man who was absent from his wife, and news reached her that he had died, so she married. Then the first husband came back: what is the ruling? Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The first husband will be given the choice between the dowry and the woman. If he chooses the dowry, the woman will remain with the second husband, and if he wishes he may choose his wife. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The woman will receive the dowry from the second husband, in return for what he made lawful of her private parts, and the two of them will be separated; then she will observe a waiting period of three menstrual periods and will be returned to the first husband.
