Bayhaqi 15707 — A man who cannot afford his wife's maintenance

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ فِي آخَرِينَ قَالُوا: نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنا الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ لَا يَجِدُ مَا يُنْفِقُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ قَالَ: " يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا " قَالَ أَبُو الزِّنَادِ قُلْتُ: سُنَّةً قَالَ: سَعِيدٌ: " سُنَّةً " قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَالَّذِي يُشْبِهُ قَوْلَ سَعِيدٍ سُنَّةً أَنْ تَكُونَ سُنَّةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
It is narrated from Abu al-Zinad that he said: I asked Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) about a man who does not find (the means) to spend on his wife. He said: "They are to be separated." Abu al-Zinad said: I said: "Is this the Sunnah?" Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It is the Sunnah."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "What Sa'id's saying ('Sunnah') resembles is that it is a Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."
