[Machine] About his wife whom he divorced during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "I divorced her while she was in a state of menstruation.” So, I mentioned that to Umar, and Umar mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Tell him to take her back when she becomes pure and then divorce her while she is in a state of purity, according to the Sunnah." He said, "So, I did as told." Anas asked him, "Did you have sexual intercourse with her while she was in a state of menstruation?" He said, "Why should I not have intercourse with her when I desired and was eager?"

عَنِ امْرَأَتِهِ الَّتِي طَلَّقَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ طَلَّقْتُهَا وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ فَذَكَرَهُ عُمَرُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا إِذَا طَهُرَتْ طَلَّقَهَا فِي طُهْرِهَا لِلسُّنَّةِ قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَسَأَلْتُهُ هَلِاعْتَدَدْتَ بِالَّتِي طَلَّقْتَهَا وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ؟ قَالَ وَمَا لِي لَا أَعْتَدُّ بِهَا إِنْ كُنْتُ عَجَزْتُ وَاسْتَحْمَقْتُ
