قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {إِذَا نَكَحْتُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ فَمَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍ تَعْتَدُّونَهَا} [الأحزاب: 49].
Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: "When you marry believing women and then divorce them before you have touched them, then there is no waiting period for you to count concerning them" [Surah al-Ahzab: 49].
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، نا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {وَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ} [البقرة: ٢٢٨] قَالَ: {وَاللَّائِي يَئِسْنَ} [الطلاق: ٤] مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ فَنَسَخَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ: {وَإِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَمَسُّوهُنَّ} [البقرة: ٢٣٧] {فَمَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍ} [الأحزاب: ٤٩] تَعْتَدُّونَهَا ".
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And divorced women shall wait (concerning) themselves for three menstrual periods" [Surah al-Baqarah: 228], and: "And those who have despaired of menstruation among your women, if you are in doubt, their waiting period is three months, and (also for) those who have not menstruated" [Surah al-Talaq: 4]: then (part) of that was abrogated, and He said: "When you marry believing women and then divorce them before you have touched them, then there is no waiting period for you to count concerning them" [Surah al-Ahzab: 49].
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنا الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ لَيْثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا " لَيْسَ إِلَّا نِصْفَ الْمَهْرِ وَلَا عِدَّةَ عَلَيْهَا " قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَشُرَيْحٌ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ ظَاهِرُ الْكِتَابِ.
It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that she is entitled only to half of the dower (mahr), and there is no waiting period upon her.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Shurayh said this, and it is the apparent ruling of the Book.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنا أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ النَّضْرَوِيُّ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، نا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، نا هُشَيْمٌ، نا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: " اللَّمْسُ وَالْمَسُّ وَالْمُبَاشَرَةُ إِلَى الْجِمَاعِ مَا هُوَ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَنَّى عَنْهُ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that what is meant by «lams» (touching) is intercourse and intimate contact, but Allah Almighty referred to it by allusion.
