Nafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) gave his wife a divorce while she was in her menstrual period.

This is the method according to which Allah has given men permission to divorce their wives. It was the practice of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when he was asked about a person who divorces his wife during her menstrual period, he would say: I had given my wife one or two divorces, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to take my wife back and wait for the next menstrual period and then for her to become pure, then before approaching her, to divorce her.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), being compelled, sacrificed the sacrificial animal and had his head shaved at Hudaybiyyah itself, and made a treaty with them on the condition that he would come for Umrah the following year and would not bring weapons with him, except for swords. And his stay in Makkah would be according to the wishes of Quraysh. Accordingly, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came the following year for Umrah and entered Makkah according to the terms of the treaty.

As soon as he arrived, he said that a man came to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) and said, “O Abu Abdur Rahman! If I swear by the Ka’bah, will there be any sin upon me?” He replied, “What need do you have to swear by the Ka’bah? If you want to swear by the Ka’bah, then swear by the Lord of the Ka’bah, because Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to swear by his father. One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not swear by your fathers, for whoever swears by other than Allah commits shirk.”

Sa’d bin Ubaidah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) heard a man saying, “Tonight will be the middle of the month.” Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: “How do you know that this is the middle of the month? Rather, say that it is the fifteenth date. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that sometimes the month is like this, like this, and like this.” The narrator folded the finger the third time which indicates the number thirty.

A piece of land from Khaybar has come to me as my share, and I have never received any wealth better than this. I wish to give it in charity." So Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) dedicated it as a waqf for the poor, close relatives, slaves, warriors, travelers, and guests, such that it could neither be sold, nor gifted, nor inherited. However, the people of opinion from the family of Imran would be its administrators. And he said: There is no harm for the administrator of this land to eat from it in a good manner, or to feed a friend "who does not intend to enrich himself from it." Amr bin Dinar says that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to send a gift from it to Abdullah bin Safwan. Sayyidah Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) also gave her land in charity.
