Hadith 1191
عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللّٰهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ، وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ” مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا، ثُمَّ يُمْسِكْهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ تَحِيضَ، ثُمَّ تَطْهُرَ، ثُمَّ إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَ بَعْدُ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ طَلَّقَ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ فَتِلْكَ الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللّٰهُ أَنْ يُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ.“
It is narrated from Nafi‘ that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) divorced his wife during her menstrual period in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). He (peace be upon him) said: "Command him to take her back, then let her remain with him until she becomes pure from her menstruation, then menstruates again, then becomes pure. Then he has the choice: either to keep her or to divorce her. If he divorces her, he should not have intercourse with her during that period of purity. This is the waiting period in which Allah has commanded divorce to be given."
Hadith 1192
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنَّهَا انْتَقَلَتْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمٰنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ حِينَ دَخَلَتْ فِي الدَّمِ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمٰنِ فَقَالَتْ : صَدَقَ عُرْوَةُ وَقَدْ جَادَلَهَا فِي ذَلِكَ نَاسٌ، فَقَالُوا : إِنَّ اللّٰهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ : ﴿ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ﴾ [البقرة: 228] فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : صَدَقْتُمْ، تَدْرُونَ مَا الْأَقْرَاءُ؟ إِنَّمَا الْأَقْرَاءُ الْأَطْهَارُ.
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) allowed her niece Hafsa bint Abdur Rahman to complete her waiting period (‘iddah) when her third menstrual period began. Ibn Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I narrated this from Umrah bint Abdur Rahman. Umrah said: Urwah spoke the truth, in fact, people argued with Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) regarding this matter and said that Allah Almighty says: "Divorced women shall keep themselves in waiting for three periods (quroo’)." She said: You speak the truth, but do you know what is meant by quroo’? By quroo’, purity (tuhr) is meant.
Hadith 1193
عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمٰنِ يَقُولُ : مَا أَدْرَكْتُ أَحَدًا مِنْ فُقَهَائِنَا إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ هَذَا يُرِيدُ قَوْلَ عَائِشَةَ.

It is narrated from Sulayman bin Yasar that Ahwas divorced his wife. When her third menstrual period began, Ahwas died.

Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote in reply that when her third menstrual period began, the husband no longer had any relation to her, nor she to the husband. She will not inherit from him, nor will he inherit from her.
