[Machine] From Sa'id and Abu Bakr, from their saying, not attributed to Umar.  

عَنْ سَعِيدٍ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ مِنْ قَوْلِهِمَا غَيْرَ مَرْفُوعٍ إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ  

[Machine] "When the four months have passed, it is considered a final divorce, and her husband can no longer take her back as long as she is in the waiting period. Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that the opinion of Ibn Shihab regarding this matter is more correct than the first narration."  

أَنَّهَا إِذَا مَضَتِ الْأَرْبَعَةُ الْأَشْهُرُ فَهِيَ تَطْلِيقَةٌ وَلِزَوْجِهَا عَلَيْهَا رَجْعَةٌ مَا كَانَتْ فِي الْعِدَّةِ قَالَ مَالِكٌ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَعَلَى ذَلِكَ كَانَ رَأْيُ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ هَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنَ الرِّوَايَةِ الْأُولَى  

[Machine] I inform you of what Uthman and Zaid used to say. They used to say that when the four months have passed, it is considered a divorce. And likewise...  

أُخْبِرُكَ مَا كَانَ عُثْمَانُ وَزَيْدٌ ؓ يَقُولَانِ؟ كَانَا يَقُولَانِ إِذَا مَضَتِ الْأَرْبَعَةُ الْأَشْهُرُ فَهِيَ تَطْلِيقَةٌ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] If a man divorces his wife, and the four months have passed, then it is considered a divorce, and he can propose to her during her waiting period, and no one else may propose to her except him. The waiting period is three menstrual cycles. Abu Sa'eed informed us that Abu al-Abbas said that Rabee' said that al-Shafi'i said, "As for what I have narrated from Ibn Mas'ood, it is Mursal, and the hadith of Ali ibn Badhima cannot be attributed to anyone else but him. I know it means that no one else can deliver it except him." He said, "If this is proven, then by saying "I have become ill" I would only be referring to the statement of the fourteen companions of the Prophet ﷺ, or one or two of them."  

إِذَا آلَى الرَّجُلُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ فَمَضَتِ الْأَرْبَعَةُ الْأَشْهُرُ فَهِيَ تَطْلِيقَةٌ وَيَخْطُبُهَا فِي عِدَّتِهَا وَلَا يَخْطُبُهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُ وَالْعِدَّةُ ثَلَاثَةُ قُرُوءٍ 15228 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَنَا الرَّبِيعُ قَالَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ ؓ أَمَّا مَا رَوَيْتُ فِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ فَمُرْسَلٌ وَحَدِيثُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَذِيمَةَ لَا يُسْنِدُهُ غَيْرُهُ عَلِمْتُهُ يَعْنِي لَا يُوصِلُهُ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ وَلَوْ كَانَ هَذَا ثَابِتًا فَكُنْتُ إِنَّمَا بِقَوْلِهِ اعْتَلَلْتُ أَكَانَ بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْلَى أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ بِقَوْلِهِمْ أَوْ وَاحِدًا وَاثْنَيْنِ  

[Machine] Abbas  

عَبَّاسٍ ؓ  

[Machine] Ibn Abbas was the narrator of this story and it has been narrated differently from him.  

اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ بِخِلَافِهِ  

[Machine] The man swears to his wife by Allah that he will not have sexual relations with her. She then observes a waiting period of four months. If he still decides to have sexual relations with her, he must atone for breaking his oath by either feeding ten poor people, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. If he is unable to do so, he must fast for three days. If four months have passed and he has not had sexual relations with her, the sultan has the choice to either fulfill his promise and keep her, or divorce her, as Allah has commanded.  

الرَّجُلُ يَحْلِفُ لِامْرَأَتِهِ بِاللهِ لَا يَنْكِحُهَا تَتَرَبَّصُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فَإِنْ هُوَ نَكَحَهَا كَفَّرَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ بِإِطْعَامِ عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ كِسْوَتِهِمْ أَوْ تَحْرِيرِ رَقَبَةٍ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَإِنْ مَضَتْ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْكِحَهَا خَيَّرَهُ السُّلْطَانُ إِمَّا أَنْ يُفِيءَ فَيُرَاجِعَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَعْزِمَ فَيُطَلِّقَ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى  

[Machine] "And Ibn Abbas and Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them) said: When four months have passed after a man has had sexual relations with his wife, then he is to be stopped and asked: Did you keep her or divorce her? If he chose to keep her, then she remains his wife. But if he chose to divorce her, then she is a divorced woman. And Ibn Mas'ud and Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them) said: When the four months have passed, she is a divorced woman and she has the right over herself. Ash-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his argument against their statement with the saying of Ibn Abbas: We said as for Ibn Abbas, you are opposing him in regard to 'ila. He said, from where?"  

وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ يَقُولَانِ إِذَا آلَى الرَّجُلُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ فَمَضَتْ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ فَإِنَّهُ يُوقَفُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَمْسَكْتَ أَوْ طَلَّقْتَ فَإِنْ أَمْسَكَ فَهِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ وَإِنْ طَلَّقَ فَهِيَ طَالِقٌ بَائِنَةٌ وَكَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ يَقُولَانِ إِذَا مَضَتِ الْأَرْبَعَةُ الْأَشْهُرُ فَهِيَ طَالِقٌ بَائِنَةٌ وَهِيَ أَحَقُّ بِنَفْسِهَا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِي احْتِجَاجِهِمْ بِقَوْلِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قُلْنَا أَمَّا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَنْتَ تُخَالِفُهُ فِي الْإِيلَاءِ قَالَ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ  

[Machine] He said, "The husband who swears does not approach his wife ever."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْمُؤْلِي الَّذِي يَحْلِفُ لَا يَقْرَبُ امْرَأَتَهُ أَبَدًا
