bayhaqi:14426Abū Saʿīd b. Abū ʿAmr > Abū al-ʿAbbās > al-Rabīʿ > al-Shāfiʿī > ʿAbd al-Wahhāb > Ayyūb b. Abū Tamīmah > Muḥammad b. Sīrīn > al-Ashʿath b. Qays

[Machine] Abu Abbas narrated that Rabee' said, Shafi'i said, Abdul Wahab reported from Ayoub bin Abi Tameemah, who reported from Muhammad bin Sirin, that Ash'ath bin Qais had a companion and he saw his wife and was attracted to her. Then he died on the way. Ash'ath bin Qais proposed to her, but she refused to marry him except by her own condition. So he married her based on her condition, but then he divorced her before she made her judgment. She said to him, "Make a judgment" and she mentioned two men who were his father's slaves from birth. He said, "Make a judgment other than them." She refused. So he went to Umar and said, "O Commander of the Faithful, I failed three times." Umar asked, "What are they?" He said, "I was infatuated with a woman." Umar said, "That's what you shouldn't have done." Then he married her based on her condition, but then he divorced her before she made her judgment. Umar said, "Is she a Muslim woman?" Shafi'i (May Allah have mercy on him) said, Umar meant, "Does she have a dowry like that of a Muslim woman, meaning from her own womenfolk?" And Allah knows best.
