Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 17559 — A missing man who returns after

Suhaymah bint Umayr al-Shaybaniyyah said: News of my husband's death reached me from Qandabil. Afterwards I married al-Abbas bin Tarif, the brother of Banu Qays. Later my first husband also returned. We went to Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask about the matter, and at that time he was under siege. He said: How can I judge between you in this condition of mine? We said: We are content with your judgement. So he gave the husband the choice of one of two things: the dowry or the woman. When Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, we went to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and related the whole incident, and he gave the first husband the choice between the dowry and the woman. He chose the dowry and took two thousand from me and two thousand from the other husband.
