حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ : " إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَرْأَةَ، أَوِ اشْتَرَى الْجَارِيَةَ، فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا، وَلْيَدْعُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ، وَإِذَا اشْتَرَى الْبَعِيرَ، فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ، وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ "

وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، فَكَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى كَبِرَتْ، فَتَزَوَّجَ عَلَيْهَا فَتَاةً شَابَّةً، فَآثَرَ الشَّابَّةَ عَلَيْهَا، فَنَاشَدَتْهُ الطَّلَاقَ، فَطَلَّقَهَا وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ أَمْهَلَهَا، حَتَّى إِذَا كَادَتْ تَحِلُّ رَاجَعَهَا، ثُمَّ عَادَ فَآثَرَ الشَّابَّةَ، فَنَاشَدَتْهُ الطَّلَاقَ، فَطَلَّقَهَا وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ رَاجَعَهَا، ثُمَّ عَادَ فَآثَرَ الشَّابَّةَ، فَنَاشَدَتْهُ الطَّلَاقَ، فَقَالَ : " مَا شِئْتِ، إِنَّمَا بَقِيَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ، فَإِنْ شِئْتِ اسْتَقْرَرْتِ عَلَى مَا تَرَيْنَ مِنَ الْأُثْرَةِ، وَإِنْ شِئْتِ فَارَقْتُكِ "، قَالَتْ : بَلْ أَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَى الْأُثْرَةِ، فَأَمْسَكَهَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ، وَلَمْ يَرَ رَافِعٌ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمًا حِينَ قَرَّتْ عِنْدَهُ عَلَى الْأُثْرَةِ
Hazrat Rafi’ bin Khadij married the daughter of Muhammad bin Maslamah Ansari. She stayed with him, and when she became old, Rafi’ married a young woman and became more inclined towards her. The old woman asked for a divorce, so Muhammad bin Maslamah gave her one divorce. Then, when her waiting period was about to end, he took her back, but remained inclined towards the young woman. The old woman again asked for a divorce, so he gave her another divorce. Then, when her waiting period was about to end, he took her back, but remained inclined towards the young woman. The old woman again asked for a divorce. Then Rafi’ bin Khadij said: Now what do you want? Only one divorce remains. If you wish to stay with me in this condition, then stay; and if you cannot, then I will let you go. She said: I wish to stay in this condition. Rafi’ kept her and did not consider himself sinful for it.
