On His saying: "Divorce is twice, then keep in a fair manner or release with kindness"
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20353 — On His saying: "Divorce is twice
٢٠٣٥٣ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: نا عبد اللَّه بن إدريس عن هشام عن أبيه قال: قال (رجل) (١) لأمرأته على عهد النبي ﷺ: لا (آويك) (٢) ولا تحلين مني، قالت: فكيف تصنع؟ قال: أطلقك حتى إذا دنا مضي عدتك راجعتك، (فخرعت) (٣)، فاتت النبي ﵇ فأنزل اللَّه تعالى: ﴿فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ﴾، قال: فاستقبله.
Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man said to his wife: I will neither come near you nor will you ever be free of my marriage. The woman said: How will you do that? The man said: I will divorce you, and when the end of your waiting period ('iddah) draws near, I will take you back. The woman, distressed, came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and on that occasion the verse of the Qur'an "Then either retain [her] in kindness or release [her] with goodness" [Al-Baqarah: 229] was revealed. Then the people started counting divorce afresh, both those who had divorced and those who had not.
