Returning dowry in exchange for khula (divorce) explained
Hadith 607
أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُقْرِئُ، نا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، نا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ سَهْلٍ، كَانَتْ تَحْتَ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ، فَضَرَبَهَا ضَرْبًا شَدِيدًا - أَوْ قَالَ: ضَرْبًا - فَبَلَغَ مِنْهَا، فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، وَقَالَتْ: لَا أَنَا وَلَا ثَابِتٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((يَا ثَابِتُ، خُذْ مِنْهَا)) ، فَقَالَتْ: عِنْدِي مَا أَعْطَانِي بِعَيْنِهِ، فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا، وَاعْتَدَّتْ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا.
It is narrated from Sulaiman bin Yasar that Habibah bint Sahal (may Allah be pleased with her) was the wife of Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him). He beat her severely, so she came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and mentioned this to him and said: "It is impossible for me and Thabit to live together." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Thabit! Take (the dowry) from her." He said: "What I gave her is exactly with me." So it was taken from her (Habibah, may Allah be pleased with her), and she observed her waiting period ('iddah) at her family's house.
