Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 19603 — A man who swears off his wife (ila)

Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man from the descendants of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) swore ila' from his wife, and she remained like that for six months. Once, while he was sitting in a gathering, he remembered the ila'. He went to Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him, and he said: "Tell her that she has become the owner of her own affair." The man came to her and informed her, and she said: "I am still your wife." And the man gave her a ratl as her dowry.
