Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
that he had divorced his wife while she was
menstruating during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle . 'Umar
bin Al-Khattab asked Allah's Apostle about that. Allah's
Apostle said, "Order him (your son) to take her back and
keep her till she is clean and then to wait till she gets
her next period and becomes clean again, whereupon, if he
wishes to keep her, he can do so, and if he wishes to
divorce her he can divorce her before having sexual
intercourse with her; and that is the prescribed period
which Allah has fixed for the women meant to be divorced."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 179:
Narrated Anas bin Sirin:
Ibn 'Umar said: "I divorced my wife while she was
menstruating. 'Umar mentioned that to the Prophet . The
Prophet said, (to my father), "Let your son take her
back." I asked (Ibn 'Umar), "Is such a divorce counted
(i.e. as one legal divorce)?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Of course."
Narrated Yunus bin Jubair: Ibn 'Umar said, "The Prophet
said to 'Umar, 'Order him (Ibn 'Umar) to take her back.' "
I asked, "Is such a divorce counted (as one legal
divorce)?" Ibn 'Umar said, "What do you think if someone
becomes helpless and foolish?"
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 180:

(Divorcing my wife during her menses) was counted as

sought refuge with Allah from him?" He said "I was told by
'Ursa that 'Aisha said, 'When the daughter of Al-Jaun was
brought to Allah's Apostle (as his bride) and he went near
her, she said, "I seek refuge with Allah from you." He
said, "You have sought refuge with The Great; return to
your family."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 182:
Narrated Abu Usaid:
We went out with the Prophet to a garden called Ash-Shaut
till we reached two walls between which we sat down. The
Prophet said, "Sit here," and went in (the garden). The
Jauniyya (a lady from Bani Jaun) had been brought and
lodged in a house in a date-palm garden in the home of
Umaima bint An-Nu'man bin Sharahil, and her wet nurse was
with her. When the Prophet entered upon her, he said to
her, "Give me yourself (in marriage) as a gift." She said,
"Can a princess give herself in marriage to an ordinary
man?" The Prophet raised his hand to pat her so that she
might become tranquil. She said, "I seek refuge with Allah
from you." He said, "You have sought refuge with One Who
gives refuge. Then the Prophet came out to us and said, "O
Abu Usaid! Give her two white linen dresses to wear and
let her go back to her family." Narrated Sahl and Abu
Usaid: The Prophet married Umaima bint Sharahil, and when
she was brought to him, he stretched his hand towards her.
It seemed that she disliked that, whereupon the Prophet
ordered Abu Usaid to prepare her and to provide her with
two white linen dresses. (See Hadith No. 541).

I asked Ibn 'Umar,"(What is said regarding) a man
divorces his wife during her period?" He said, "Do you
know Ibn 'Umar? Ibn 'Umar divorced his wife while she was
menstruating. 'Umar then went to the Prophet and mentioned
that to him. The Prophet ordered him to take her back and
when she became clean, he could divorce her if he wanted."
I asked (Ibn 'Umar), "Was that divorce counted as one
legal divorce?" He said, "If one becomes helpless and
foolish (will he be excused? Of course not). "
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 185:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi:
Uwaimir Al-'Ajlani came to 'Asim bin Adi Al-Ansari and
asked, "O 'Asim! Tell me, if a man sees his wife with
another man, should he kill him, whereupon you would kill
him in Qisas, or what should he do? O 'Asim! Please ask
Allah's Apostle about that." 'Asim asked Allah's Apostle
about that. Allah's Apostle disliked that question and
considered it disgraceful. What 'Asim heard from Allah's
Apostle was hard on him. When he returned to his family, 'Uwaimir
came to him and said "O 'Asim! What did Allah's Apostle
say to you?" 'Asim said, "You never bring me any good.
Allah's Apostle disliked to hear the problem which I asked
him about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not leave the
matter till I ask him about it." So 'Uwaimir proceeded
till he came to Allah's Apostle who was in the midst of
the people and said, "O Allah's Apostle! If a man finds
with his wife another man, should he kill him, whereupon
you would kill him (in Qisas): or otherwise, what should
he do?" Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has revealed
something concerning the question of you and your wife. Go
and bring her here." So they both carried out the judgment
of Lian, while I was present among the people (as a
witness). When both of them had finished, 'Uwaimir said,
"O Allah's Apostle! If I should now keep my wife with me,
then I have told a lie". Then he pronounced his decision
to divorce her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered him
to do so. (Ibn Shihab said, "That was the tradition for
all those who are involved in a case of Lian."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 186:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The wife of Rifa'a Al-Qurazi came to Allah's Apostle
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Rifa'a divorced me
irrevocably. After him I married 'Abdur-Rahman bin
Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi who proved to be impotent." Allah's
Apostle said to her, "Perhaps you want to return to Rifa'a?
Nay (you cannot return to Rifa'a) until you and 'Abdur-Rahman
consummate your marriage."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 187:
Narrated 'Aisha:
A man divorced his wife thrice (by expressing his
decision to divorce her thrice), then she married another
man who also divorced her. The Prophet was asked if she
could legally marry the first husband (or not). The
Prophet replied, "No, she cannot marry the first husband
unless the second husband consummates his marriage with
her, just as the first husband had done."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 188:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle gave us the option (to remain with him
or to be divorced) and we selected Allah and His Apostle .
So, giving us that option was not regarded as divorce.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 189:
Narrated Musruq:
I asked 'Aisha about the option: She said, "The Prophet
gave us the option. Do you think that option was
considered as a divorce?" I said, "It matters little to me
if I give my wife the option once or a hundred times after
she has chosen me."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 190:
Narrated 'Aisha:
A man divorced his wife and she married another man who
proved to be impotent and divorced her. She could not get
her satisfaction from him, and after a while he divorced
her. Then she came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! My first husband divorced me and then I married
another man who entered upon me to consummate his marriage
but he proved to be impotent and did not approach me
except once during which he benefited nothing from me. Can
I remarry my first husband in this case?" Allah's Apostle
said, "It is unlawful to marry your first husband till the
other husband consummates his marriage with you."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 191:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
that he heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, "If a man makes his
wife unlawful for him, it does not mean that she is
divorced." He added, "Indeed in the Apostle of Allah , you
have a good example to follow."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 192:
Narrated 'Ubaid bin 'Umar:
I heard 'Aisha saying, "The Prophet used to stay for a
long while with Zanab bint Jahsh and drink honey at her
house. So Hafsa and I decided that if the Prophet came to
anyone of us, she should say him, "I detect the smell of
Maghafir (a nasty smelling gum) in you. Have you eaten
Maghafir?' " So the Prophet visited one of them and she
said to him similarly. The Prophet said, "Never mind, I
have taken some honey at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh,
but I shall never drink of it anymore." So there was
revealed: 'O Prophet ! Why do you ban (for you) that which
Allah has made lawful for you . . . If you two (wives of
Prophet) turn in repentance to Allah,' (66.1-4) addressing
Aisha and Hafsa. 'When the Prophet disclosed a matter in
confidence to some of his wives.' (66.3) namely his
saying: But I have taken some honey."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 193:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle was fond of honey and sweet edible
things and (it was his habit) that after finishing the 'Asr
prayer he would visit his wives and stay with one of them
at that time. Once he went to Hafsa, the daughter of 'Umar
and stayed with her more than usual. I got jealous and
asked the reason for that. I was told that a lady of her
folk had given her a skin filled with honey as a present,
and that she made a syrup from it and gave it to the
Prophet to drink (and that was the reason for the delay).
I said, "By Allah we will play a trick on him (to prevent
him from doing so)." So I said to Sada bint Zam'a "The
Prophet will approach you, and when he comes near you,
say: 'Have you taken Maghafir (a bad-smelling gum)?' He
will say, 'No.' Then say to him: 'Then what is this bad
smell which i smell from you?' He will say to you, 'Hafsa
made me drink honey syrup.' Then say: Perhaps the bees of
that honey had sucked the juice of the tree of Al-'Urfut.'
I shall also say the same. O you, Safiyya, say the same."
Later Sada said, "By Allah, as soon as he (the Prophet )
stood at the door, I was about to say to him what you had
ordered me to say because I was afraid of you." So when
the Prophet came near Sada, she said to him, "O Allah's
Apostle! Have you taken Maghafir?" He said, "No." She
said. "Then what is this bad smell which I detect on you?"
He said, "Hafsa made me drink honey syrup." She said,
"Perhaps its bees had sucked the juice of Al-'Urfut tree."
When he came to me, I also said the same, and when he went
to Safiyya, she also said the same. And when the Prophet
again went to Hafsa, she said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Shall I
give you more of that drink?" He said, "I am not in need
of it." Sada said, "By Allah, we deprived him (of it)." I
said to her, "Keep quiet." '
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 194:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah has forgiven my followers the
evil thoughts that occur to their minds, as long as such
thoughts are not put into action or uttered." And Qatada
said, "If someone divorces his wife just in his mind, such
an unuttered divorce has no effect.:
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 195:
Narrated Jabir:
A man from the tribe of Bani Aslam came to the Prophet
while he was in the mosque and said, "I have committed
illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet turned his face
to the other side. The man turned towards the side towards
which the Prophet had turned his face, and gave four
witnesses against himself. On that the Prophet called him
and said, "Are you insane?" (He added), "Are you married?"
The man said, 'Yes." On that the Prophet ordered him to be
stoned to the death in the Musalla (a praying place). When
the stones hit him with their sharp edges and he fled, but
he was caught at Al-Harra and then killed

Allah's Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual
intercourse." On that the Prophet turned his face from him
to the other side, whereupon the man moved to the side
towards which the Prophet had turned his face, and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual
intercourse." The Prophet turned his face (from him) to
the other side whereupon the man moved to the side towards
which the Prophet had turned his face, and repeated his
statement. The Prophet turned his face (from him) to the
other side again. The man moved again (and repeated his
statement) for the fourth time. So when the man had given
witness four times against himself, the Prophet called him
and said, "Are you insane?" He replied, "No." The Prophet
then said (to his companions), "Go and stone him to
death." The man was a married one. Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari
said: I was one of those who stoned him. We stoned him at
the Musalla ('Id praying place) in Medina. When the stones
hit him with their sharp edges, he fled, but we caught him
at Al-Harra and stoned him till he died.

remain with him)." On that Allah's Apostle said (to her),
"Will you give back the garden which your husband has
given you (as Mahr)?" She said, "Yes." Then the Prophet
said to Thabit, "O Thabit! Accept your garden, and divorce
her once."

Thabit to divorce her. Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The wife of
Thabit bin Qais came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O

with him." On that Allah's Apostle said, "Will you return
his garden to him?" She said, "Yes."

Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I do not blame

but I am afraid that I (being a Muslim) may become
unthankful for Allah's Blessings." On that, Allah's
Apostle said (to her), 'Will you return his garden to
him?" She said, "Yes." So she returned his garden to him

(the wife of the Prophet) Three traditions were
established concerning situations in which Barra was
involved: When she was manumitted, she was given the
option to keep her husband or leave him; Allah's Apostle
said, "The wala is for the one who manumits, Once Allah's
Apostle entered the house while some meat was being cooked
in a pot, but only bread and some soup of the house were
placed before, him. He said, "Don't I see the pot
containing meat?" They said, "Yes, but that meat was given
to Barira in charity (by someone), and you do not eat what
it given in charity."The Prophet said "That meat is alms
for her, but for us it is a present."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Barira's husband was a black slave called Mughith, the
slave of Bani so-and-so-- as if I am seeing him now,

Volume 7, Book 63, Number 206:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Barira's husband was a slave called Mughith, as if I am
seeing him now, going behind Barira and weeping with his
tears flowing down his beard. The Prophet said to 'Abbas,
"O 'Abbas ! are you not astonished at the love of Mughith
for Barira and the hatred of Barira for Mughith?" The
Prophet then said to Barira, "Why don't you return to
him?" She said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you order me to do
so?" He said, "No, I only intercede for him." She said, "I
am not in need of him."

Aisha intended to buy Barira, but her masters
stipulated that her wala wound be for them. Aisha
mentioned that to the Prophet who said (to 'Aisha), "Buy
and manumit her, for the wala is for the one who
manumits." Once some me; was brought to the Prophet and

Volume 7, Book 63, Number 209:
Narrated Nafi':
Whenever Ibn 'Umar was asked about marrying a Christian
lady or a Jewess, he would say: "Allah has made it
unlawful for the believers to marry ladies who ascribe
partners in worship to Allah, and I do not know of a
greater thing, as regards to ascribing partners in
worship, etc. to Allah, than that a lady should say that
Jesus is her Lord although he is just one of Allah's
slaves."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 210:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The pagans were of two kinds as regards their
relationship to the Prophet and the Believers. Some of
them were those with whom the Prophet was at war and used
to fight against, and they used to fight him; the others
were those with whom the Prophet made a treaty, and
neither did the Prophet fight them, nor did they fight
him. If a lady from the first group of pagans emigrated
towards the Muslims, her hand would not be asked in
marriage unless she got the menses and then became clean.
When she became clean, it would be lawful for her to get
married, and if her husband emigrated too before she got
married, then she would be returned to him. If any slave
or female slave emigrated from them to the Muslims, then
they would be considered free persons (not slaves) and
they would have the same rights as given to other
emigrants. The narrator then mentioned about the pagans
involved with the Muslims in a treaty, the same as occurs
in Mujahid's narration. If a male slave or a female slave
emigrated from such pagans as had made a treaty with the
Muslims, they would not be returned, but their prices
would be paid (to the pagans). Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Qariba,
the daughter of Abi Umaiyya, was the wife of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab.
'Umar divorced her and then Mu'awiyya bin Abi Sufyan
married her. Similarly, Um Al-Hakam, the daughter of Abi
Sufyan was the wife of 'Iyad bin Ghanm Al-Fihri. He
divorced her and then 'Abdullah bin 'Uthman Al-Thaqafi
married her.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 211:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) When believing women came to
the Prophet as emigrants, he used to test them in
accordance with the order of Allah. 'O you who believe!
When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine
them . . .' (60.10) So if anyone of those believing women
accepted the above mentioned conditions, she accepted the
conditions of faith. When they agreed on those conditions
and confessed that with their tongues, Allah's Apostle
would say to them, "Go, I have accepted your oath of
allegiance (for Islam). By Allah, and hand of Allah's
Apostle never touched the hand of any woman, but he only
used to take their pledge of allegiance orally. By Allah,
Allah's Apostle did not take the pledge of allegiance of
the women except in accordance with what Allah had ordered
him. When he accepted their pledge of allegiance he would
say to them, "I have accepted your oath of allegiance."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 212:

people) said, "O Allah's Apostle! You took an oath to
abstain from your wives for one month." He said, "The

handsome manner or to divorce her as Allah has ordered."
Ibn 'Umar added, "When the period of four months has
expired, the husband should be put in prison so that he
should divorce his wife, but the divorce does not occur
unless the husband himself declares it. This has been
mentioned by 'Uthman, 'Ali, Abu Ad-Darda, 'Aisha and
twelve other companions of the Prophet ."

for the wolf." Then he was asked about a lost camel. He
got angry and his face became red and he said (to the
questioner), "You have nothing to do with it; it has its
feet and its water container with it; it can go on
drinking water and eating trees till its owner meets it."
And then the Prophet was asked about a Luqata (money found
by somebody). He said, "Remember and recognize its tying
material and its container, and make public announcement
about it for one year. If somebody comes and identifies it
(then give it to him), otherwise add it to your property."

speak. Allah's Apostle asked her, "Who has hit you? So-and
so?", mentioning somebody other than her murderer. She
moved her head, indicating denial. The Prophet mentioned
another person other than the murderer, and she again
moved her head indicating denial. Then he asked, "Was it
so-and-so?", mentioning the name of her killer. She
nodded, agreeing. Then Allah's Apostle; ordered that the
head of that Jew be crushed between two stones.

you wait till it is evening?" Allah's Apostle again said,
"Get down and prepare a drink of Sawiq." The man said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Will you wait till it is evening, for it
is still daytime. " The Prophet again said, "Get down and
prepare a drink of Sawiq." So the third time the man got

generous person is like that of two persons wearing iron
cloaks from the breast upto the neck When the generous
person spends, the iron cloak enlarges and spread over his
skin so much so that it covers his fingertips and
obliterates his tracks. As for the miser, as soon as he
thinks of spending every ring of the iron cloak sticks to
its place (against his body) and he tries to expand it,
but it does not expand. The Prophet pointed with his hand
towards his throat.

after them are Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, and after

Volume 7, Book 63, Number 227:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Hilal bin Umaiyya accused his wife of illegal sexual
intercourse and came to the Prophet to bear witness
(against her), (taking the oath of Lian). The Prophet was
saying, "Allah knows that either of you is a liar. Will
anyone of you repent (to Allah)?" Then the lady got up and
gave her witness.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 228:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi:
'Uwaimir Al-Ajlani came to 'Asim bin Ad Al-Ansari and
said to him, "O 'Asim! Suppose a man saw another man with
his wife, would he kill him whereupon you would kill him;
or what should he do? Please, O 'Asim, ask about this on
my behalf." 'Asim asked Allah's Apostle about it. Allah's
Apostle, disliked that question and considered it
disgraceful. What 'Asim heard from Allah's Apostle was
hard on him. When 'Asim returned to his family, 'Uwaimir
came to him and said, "O 'Asim! What did Allah's Apostle.
say to you?" 'Asim said to 'Uwaimir, "You never bring me
any good. Allah's Apostle disliked the problem which I
asked him about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not
give up this matter until I ask the Prophet about it." So
'Uwaimir proceeded till he came to Allah's Apostle in the
midst of people, and said, "O Allah's Apostle! If a man
sees another man with his wife, would he kill him,
whereupon you would kill him, or what should he do?"
Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has revealed some decree as
regards you and your wives case. Go and bring her." So
they carried out the process of Lian while I was present
among the people with Allah's Apostle. When they had
finished their Lian, 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! If
I should now keep her with me as a wife, then I have told
a lie." So he divorced her thrice before Allah's Apostle
ordered him. (Ibn Shihab said: So divorce was the
tradition for all those who were involved in a case of
Lian.)
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 229:
Narrated Ibn Juraij:
Ibn Shihab informed me of Lian and the tradition
related to it, referring to the narration of Sahl bin Sad,
the brother of Bani Sa'idi He said, "An Ansari man came to
Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! If a man saw
another man with his wife, should he kill him, or what
should he do?' So Allah revealed concerning his affair
what is mentioned in the Holy Quran about the affair of
those involved in a case of Lian. The Prophet said, 'Allah
has given His verdict regarding you and your wife.' So
they carried out Lian in the mosque while I was present
there. When they had finished, the man said, "O Allah's
Apostle! If I should now keep her with me as a wife then I
have told a lie about her. Then he divorced her thrice
before Allah's Apostle ordered him, when they had finished
the Lian process. So he divorced her in front of the
Prophet ." Ibn Shihab added, "After their case, it became
a tradition that a couple involved in a case of Lian
should be separated by divorce. That lady was pregnant
then, and later on her son was called by his mother's
name. The tradition concerning their inheritance was that
she would be his heir and he would inherit of her property
the share Allah had prescribed for him." Ibn Shihab said
that Sahl bin Sad As'Saidi said that the Prophet said (in
the above narration), "If that lady delivers a small red
child like a lizard, then the lady has spoken the truth
and the man was a liar, but if she delivers a child with
black eyes and huge lips, then her husband has spoken the
truth." Then she delivered it in the shape one would
dislike (as it proved her guilty).
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 230:
Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:
Ibn 'Abbas; said, "Once Lian was mentioned before the
Prophet whereupon 'Asim bin Adi said something and went
away. Then a man from his tribe came to him, complaining
that he had found a man width his wife. 'Asim said, 'I
have not been put to task except for my statement (about
Lian).' 'Asim took the man to the Prophet and the man told
him of the state in which he had found his wife. The man
was pale, thin, and of lank hair, while the other man whom
he claimed he had seen with his wife, was brown, fat and
had much flesh on his calves. The Prophet invoked, saying,
'O Allah! Reveal the truth.' So that lady delivered a
child resembling the man whom her husband had mentioned he
had found her with. The Prophet then made them carry out
Lian." Then a man from that gathering asked Ibn 'Abbas,
"Was she the same lady regarding which the Prophet had
said, 'If I were to stone to death someone without
witness, I would have stoned this lady'?" Ibn 'Abbas said,
"No, that was another lady who, though being a Muslim,
used to arouse suspicion by her outright misbehavior. "
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 231:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
I asked Ibn 'Umar, "(What is the verdict if) a man
accuses his wife of illegal sexual intercourse?" Ibn 'Umar
said, "The Prophet separated (by divorce) the couple of
Bani Al-Ajlan, and said, (to them), 'Allah knows that one
of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But both
of them refused. He again said, 'Allah knows that one of
you two is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But both of
them refused. So he separated them by divorce." (Aiyub, a
sub-narrator said: 'Amr bin Dinar said to me, "There is
something else in this Hadith which you have not
mentioned. It goes thus: The man said, 'What about my
money (i.e. the Mahr that I have given to my wife)?' It
was said, 'You have no right to restore any money, for if
you have spoken the truth (as regards the accusation), you
have also consummated your marriage with her; and if you
have told a lie, you are less rightful to have your money
back.' ")
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 232:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
I asked Ibn 'Umar about those who were involved in a
case of Lien. He said, "The Prophet said to those who were
involved in a case of Lien, 'Your accounts are with Allah.
One of you two is a liar, and you (the husband) have no
right over her (she is divorced)." The man said, 'What
about my property (Mahr) ?' The Prophet said, 'You have no
right to get back your property. If you have told the
truth about her then your property was for the
consummation of your marriage with her; and if you told a
lie about her, then you are less rightful to get your
property back.' " Sufyan, a sub-narrator said: I learned
the Hadith from 'Amr. Narrated Aiyub: I heard Sa'id bin
Jubair saying, "I asked Ibn 'Umar, 'If a man (accuses his
wife for an illegal sexual intercourse and) carries out
the process of Lian (what will happen)?' Ibn 'Umar set two
of his fingers apart. (Sufyan set his index finger and
middle finger apart.) Ibn 'Umar said, 'The Prophet
separated the couple of Bani Al-Ajlan by divorce and said
thrice, "Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so
will one of you repent (to Allah)?' "

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Those involved in a case of Lian were mentioned before
Allah's Apostle Asim bin Adi said something about that and
then left. Later on a man from his tribe came to him and
told him that he had found another man with his wife. On
that 'Asim said, "I have not been put to task except for
what I have said (about Lian)." 'Asim took the man to
Allah's Apostle and he told him of the state in which he
found his wife. The man was pale, thin and lank-haired,
while the other man whom he had found with his wife was
brown, fat with thick calves and curly hair. Allah's
Apostle said, "O Allah! Reveal the truth." Then the lady
delivered a child resembling the man whom her husband had
mentioned he had found with her. So Allah's Apostle
ordered them to carry out Lien. A man from that gathering
said to Ibn 'Abbas, "Was she the same lady regarding whom
Allah's Apostle said, 'If I were to stone to death someone
without witnesses, I would have stoned this lady'?" Ibn 'Abbas
said, "No, that was another lady who, though being a
Muslim, used to arouse suspicion because of her outright

your brother) to return her to her house." Marwan (in
Sulaiman's version) said, "Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Hakam did
not obey me (or had a convincing argument)." (In Al-Qasim's
versions Marwan said, "Have you not heard of the case of
Fatima bint Qais?" Aisha said, "The case of Fatima bint
Qais is not in your favor.' Marwan bin Al-Hakam said to 'Aisha,

house is just applicable to the daughter of 'Abdur-Rahman."

bad thing she has done!" 'Ursa said (to 'Aisha), "Haven't
you heard the statement of Fatima?" 'Aisha replied, "It is
not in her favor to mention." 'Ursa added, 'Aisha

then that man divorced her and remained away from her till
her period of the 'Iddah expired. Then he demanded for her
hand in marriage, but Ma'qil got angry out of pride and
haughtiness and said, "He kept away from her when he could
still retain her, and now he demands her hand again?" So
Ma'qil disagreed to remarry her to him. Then Allah
revealed: 'When you have divorced women and they have
fulfilled the term of their prescribed period, do not
prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands.'
(2.232) So the Prophet sent for Ma'qil and recited to him
(Allah's order) and consequently Ma'qil gave up his pride
and haughtiness and yielded to Allah's order.

Ibn 'Umar bin Al-Khattab divorced his wife during her
menses. Allah's Apostle ordered him to take her back till
she became clean, and when she got another period while
she was with him, she should wait till she became clean
again and only then, if he wanted to divorce her, he could
do so before having sexual relations with her. And that is
the period Allah has fixed for divorcing women. Whenever
'Abdullah (bin 'Umar) was asked about that, he would say
to the questioner, "If you divorced her thrice, she is no
longer lawful for you unless she marries another man (and
the other man divorces her in his turn).' Ibn 'Umar
further said, 'Would that you (people) only give one or
two divorces, because the Prophet has ordered me so."

replied, "If somebody behaves foolishly (will his
foolishness be an excuse for his misbehavior)?"
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 251:
Narrated Humaid bin Nafi':
Zainab bint Abu Salama told me these three narrations:
Zainab said: I went to Um Habiba, the wife of the Prophet
when her father, Abu- Sufyan bin Herb had died. Um ,Habiba
asked for a perfume which contained yellow scent (Khaluq)
or some other scent, and she first perfumed one of the
girls with it and then rubbed her cheeks with it and said,
"By Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I have heard
Allah's Apostle saying, 'It is not lawful for a lady who
believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead
person for more than three days unless he is her husband
for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days.' "
Zainab further said: I want to Zainab bint Jahsh when her
brother died. She asked for perfume and used some of it
and said, "By Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I
have heard Allah's Apostle saying on the pulpit, 'It is
not lawful for a lady who believes in Allah and the last
day to mourn for more than three days except for her
husband for whom she should mourn for four months and ten
days.' " Zainab further said, "I heard my mother, Um
Salama saying that a woman came to Allah's Apostle and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! The husband of my daughter has
died and she is suffering from an eye disease, can she
apply kohl to her eye?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No,"
twice or thrice. (Every time she repeated her question) he
said, "No." Then Allah's Apostle added, "It is just a
matter of four months and ten days. In the Pre-Islamic
Period of ignorance a widow among you should throw a globe
of dung when one year has elapsed." I said to Zainab,
"What does 'throwing a globe of dung when one year had
elapsed' mean?" Zainab said, "When a lady was bereaved of
her husband, she would live in a wretched small room and
put on the worst clothes she had and would not touch any
scent till one year had elapsed. Then she would bring an
animal, e.g. a donkey, a sheep or a bird and rub her body
against it. The animal against which she would rub her
body would scarcely survive. Only then she would come out
of her room, whereupon she would be given a globe of dung
which she would throw away and then she would use the
scent she liked or the like."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 252:
Narrated Um Salama:
A woman was bereaved of her husband and her relatives
worried about her eyes (which were diseased). They came to
Allah's Apostle, and asked him to allow them to treat her
eyes with kohl, but he said, "She should not apply kohl to
her eyes. (In the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance) a
widowed woman among you would stay in the worst of her
clothes (or the worst part of her house) and when a year
had elapsed, if a dog passed by her, she would throw a
globe of dung, Nay, (she cannot use kohl) till four months
and ten days have elapsed."
Narrated Um Habiba: The Prophet said, "It is not lawful
for a Muslim woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day
to mourn for more than three days, except for her husband,
for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days."
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 253:

mourning period) we were not allowed to put kohl in our
eyes, nor perfume our-selves, nor wear dyed clothes,
except a garment of 'Asb (special clothes made in Yemen).
But it was permissible for us that when one of us became
clean from her menses and took a bath, she could use a
piece of a certain kind of incense. And it was forbidden
for us to follow funeral processions.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 255:
Narrated Um 'Atiyya:
The Prophet said, "It is not lawful for a lady who
believes in Allah and the Last Day, to mourn for more than
three days for a dead person, except for her husband, in
which case she should neither put kohl in her eyes, nor
perfume herself, nor wear dyed clothes, except a garment
of 'Asb" Um 'Atiyya added: The Prophet said, "She should
not use perfume except when she becomes clean from her
menses whereupon she can use Qust, and Azfar (two kinds of
incense).
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 256:
Narrated Mujahid:
(regarding the Verse): 'If any of you dies and leaves
wives behind,' That was the period of the 'Iddah which the
widow was obliged to spend in the house of the late
husband. Then Allah revealed: And those of you who die and
leave wives should bequeath for their wives a year's
maintenance and residence without turning them out, but if
they leave, there is no blame on you for what they do of
themselves, provided it is honorable (i.e. lawful
marriage) (2.240) Mujahid said: Allah has ordered that a
widow has the right to stay for seven months and twenty
days with her husband's relatives through her husband's
will and testament so that she will complete the period of
one year (of 'Iddah). But the widow has the right to stay
that extra period or go out of her husband's house as is
indicated by the statement of Allah: 'But if they leave
there is no blame on you,... ' (2.240) Ibn 'Abbas said:
The above Verse has cancelled the order of spending the
period of the 'Iddah at her late husband's house, and so
she could spend her period of the 'Iddah wherever she
likes. And Allah says: 'Without turning them out.' 'Ata
said: If she would, she could spend her period of the 'Iddah
at her husband's house, and live there according to her
(husband's) will and testament, and if she would, she
could go out (of her husband's house) as Allah says:
'There is no blame on you for what they do of themselves.'
(2.240) 'Ata added: Then the Verses of inheritance were
revealed and the order of residence (for the widow) was
cancelled, and she could spend her period of the 'Iddah
wherever she would like, and she was no longer entitled to
be accommodated by her husband's family.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 257:
Narrated Zainab bint Um Salama:
When Um Habiba bint Abi Sufyan was informed of her
father's death, she asked for perfume and rubbed it over
her arms and said, "I am not in need of perfume, but I
have heard the Prophet saying, "It is not lawful for a
lady who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for
more than three days except for her husband for whom the
(mourning) period is four months and ten days."

(when the husband accused his wife for an illegal sexual
intercourse). The Prophet said, 'Allah knows that one of
you two IS a liar; so will one of you repent?' But they
refused. He then again said, 'Allah knows that one of you
two is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But they
refused, whereupon he separated them by divorce." Aiyub (a
sub-narrator) said: 'Amr bin Dinar said to me, "In the
narration there is something which I do not see you
mentioning, i.e. the husband said, "What about my money (Mahr)?'
The Prophet said, "You are not entitled to take back
money, for if you told the truth you have already entered
upon her (and consummated your marriage with her) and if
you are a liar then you are less entitled to take it back.
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 262:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet said to those who were involved in a case
of Lian, "Your accounts are with Allah. One of you two is
a liar. You (husband) have right on her (wife)." The
husband said, "My money, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet
said, "You are not entitled to take back any money. If
you have told the truth, the Mahr that you paid, was for
having sexual relations with her lawfully; and if you are
a liar, then you are less entitled to get it back."
