Hadith 2444
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، وَأنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، وَعُبَيْدَةُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالُوا: «إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ أَمَةٌ تَطْلِيقَةً وَاحِدَةً فَأُعْتِقَتْ فِي الْعِدَّةِ، فَعِدَّتُهَا عِدَّةُ الْحُرَّةِ وَلَهُ عَلَيْهَا رَجْعَةٌ، وَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَتَيْنِ فَأُعْتِقَتْ فِي الْعِدَّةِ، فَعِدَّتُهَا عِدَّةَ الْأَمَةِ وَلَا رَجْعَةَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا»
Hasan al-Basri, Ibrahim al-Nakha'i, and al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on them) say: If a slave woman is given one divorce and she is freed during her waiting period ('iddah), then her 'iddah will be that of a free woman and the husband will have the right to take her back. But if she is freed after two divorces, then her 'iddah will be that of a slave woman and the husband will not have the right to take her back.
Hadith 2445
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، قَالَ: «تَعْتَدُّ عِدَّةَ الْحُرَّةِ وَلَهُ عَلَيْهَا الرَّجْعَةَ، فَإِذَا انْقَضَتِ الْعِدَّةُ فَشَاءَ أَنْ يَخْطُبَهَا خَطَبَهَا»
It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him): Such a slave-girl, after being freed, will observe the waiting period (‘iddah) of a free woman, and the husband will have the right to take her back. After the completion of the ‘iddah, if he wishes, he can marry her.
Hadith 2446
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا عَتَّابُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ: أنا خُصَيْفٌ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ فِي الْأَمَةِ تُطَلَّقُ ثُمَّ تُعْتَقُ وَهِيَ فِي الْعِدَّةِ، قَالَ: «تَسْتَأْنِفُ عِدَّةَ الْحُرَّةِ إِذَا كَانَتْ مِنْ تَطْلِيقَةٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِنْ تَطْلِيقَتَيْنِ فَقَدْ بَانَتْ تَعْتَدُّ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ»
Hazrat Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) says: If a slave woman is divorced and she is freed during her waiting period (‘iddah), then if the divorce is one, she will observe the waiting period of a free woman. If there are two divorces, then there will be no return (ruju‘), and she will observe the waiting period of a free woman.
Hadith 2447
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَوْسٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: «لَوِ اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ عِدَّةَ الْأَمَةِ حَيْضَةً وَنِصْفَ لَفَعَلْتُ»
