14. Book of Marriage
١٤۔ كِتَابُ النِّكَاحِ
I said: Messenger of Allah, I have embraced Islam and two sisters are my wives. He said: Divorce any one of them you wish. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2243)
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ وَعِنْدِي أُخْتَانِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «طَلِّقْ أَيَّتَهُمَا شِئْتَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Choose four of them." When it was during the time of Umar, he divorced his wives and divided his wealth among his children. When Umar heard about it, he met him and said, "I think that Satan influenced you in what you overheard about your death, so it affected you. Perhaps you will not live for long. By Allah, you will return to your wives, and they will inherit from you, or I will order that you be stoned to death, just as the grave of Abu Righal was stoned."
لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اخْتَرْ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا» فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي عَهْدِ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ نِسَاءَهُ وَقَسَّمَ مَالَهُ بَيْنَ بَنِيهِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ فَلَقِيَهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَظُنُّ الشَّيْطَانَ فِيمَا يَسْتَرِقُ مِنَ السَّمَعِ سَمِعَ بِمَوْتِكَ فَقَذَفَهُ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ لَا تَمْكُثَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَتَرُدَّنَّ نِسَاءَكَ وَلَتَرْجِعَنَّ فِي مَالِكِ أَوْ لَأُوَرِّثُهُنَّ مِنْكَ وَلَآمُرَنَّ بِقَبْرِكَ فَيُرْجَمُ كَمَا رُجِمَ قَبْرُ أَبِي رِغَالٍ
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ حَدَّثَ بِهِ مَعْمَرٌ بِالْبَصْرَةِ
[Machine] Ghaylan Al-Thaqafi embraced Islam, and he had ten women with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Keep four of them and separate from the rest."
أَسْلَمَ غَيْلَانُ الثَّقَفِيُّ وَعِنْدَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَمْسِكْ أَرْبَعًا وَفَارِقْ سَائِرَهُنَّ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِصِحَّةِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ
[Machine] "Gaylan bin Salamah Al-Thaqafi embraced Islam and he had ten women with him. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him to choose four of them and leave the rest."
أَسْلَمَ غَيْلَانُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الثَّقَفِيُّ وَعِنْدَهُ عَشْرُ نِسْوَةٍ «فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَتَخَيَّرَ مِنْهُنَّ أَرْبَعًا وَيَتْرُكَ سَائِرَهُنَّ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الذِّمِّيَّيْنِ إِذَا أَسْلَمَا يَجِبُ أَنْ يُقَرَّا عَلَى نِكَاحِهِمَا
A man came after embracing Islam during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Afterwards his wife came after embracing Islam. He said: Messenger of Allah, she embraced Islam along with me; so restore her to me. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2238)
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَسْلَمَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ زَوْجُهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ «إِنَّهَا قَدْ كَانَتْ أَسْلَمَتْ مَعِي فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ»
