Hadith 3527

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْمَرْوَزِيُّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي شَاذَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ أَخُو عَبْدَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّ الرُّبَيِّعَ بِنْتَ مُعَوِّذِ بْنِ عَفْرَاءَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ ، أَنَّ ثَابِتَ بْنَ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ ضَرَبَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَكَسَرَ يَدَهَا وَهِيَ : جَمِيلَةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ ، فَأَتَى أَخُوهَا يَشْتَكِيهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى ثَابِتٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : " خُذْ الَّذِي لَهَا عَلَيْكَ ، وَخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا " ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، " فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنْ تَتَرَبَّصَ حَيْضَةً وَاحِدَةً ، فَتَلْحَقَ بِأَهْلِهَا " .
´Ar-Rubayy' bint Mu'awwidh bin 'Afra' narrated that Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas hit his wife and broke her arm --her name was Jamilah bint 'Abdullah bin Ubayy. Her brother came to the Messenger of Allah to complain about him, and the Messenger of Allah sent for Thabit and said:` "Take what she owes you and let her go." He said: "Yes." And the Messenger of Allah ordered her to wait for one menstrual cycle and then go to her family.

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Since khul‘ (خلع) is a dissolution (faskh) of marriage, its waiting period (‘iddah) is one menstrual cycle (hayd), and that too only for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of the womb—that is, to determine whether the woman is pregnant or not. If she is pregnant, then she may remarry after childbirth (wada‘ al-haml). And if she is not pregnant, then after one menstrual cycle. This explicit ruling is also transmitted from Ibn ‘Abbas and ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhuma). This is likewise the position of Imam al-Shafi‘i, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and Ishaq ibn Rahwayh (rahimahumullah). According to the Hanafis, khul‘ is a divorce (talaq), so they say its waiting period is three menstrual cycles, but their position is rejected because it is contrary to authentic ahadith.
