Bayhaqi 15560 — The waiting period of a divorced woman

أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، أنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ نا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، أنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: " كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ ثُمَّ يُرَاجِعُهَا لَيْسَ لِذَلِكَ مُنْتَهًى يُنْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: وَاللهِ لَا آوِيكِ إِلِيَّ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَحِلِّينَ لِغَيْرِي، قَالَ: فَقَالَتْ: كَيْفَ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ: أُطَلِّقُكِ فَإِذَا دَنَا أَجَلُكِ رَاجَعْتُكِ، قَالَ: فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَشْكُو فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الطَّلَاقُ مَرَّتَانِ فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ النَّاسُ جَدِيدًا مَنْ كَانَ طَلَّقَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ طَلَّقَ " وَقَدْ رَوَيْنَا هَذَا فِيمَا مَضَى مَوْصُولًا وَفِيهِ كَالدَّلَالَةِ عَلَى أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَعْتَدُّ مِنَ الطَّلَاقِ الْآخَرِ عِدَّةً مُسْتَقْبِلَةً وَهَذَا قَوْلُ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ وَطَاوُسٍ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ وَغَيْرِهِمْ.
Hisham bin Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man would divorce his wife and then take her back, and there was no limit at which this matter would come to an end. A man from the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his wife: By Allah, I will never give you a place with me, nor will I let you become lawful for anyone else. The woman (may Allah be pleased with her) said: How is that? He said: I will divorce you, and when your 'iddah is about to be completed, I will take you back. Hisham bin Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: She mentioned this matter to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), complaining, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Revocable divorce is twice; then either retain her in a fair manner or release her with kindness" [Surah al-Baqarah: 229]. So the people turned to it afresh, both those who had divorced and those who had not.
