ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ بِطَلَاقِهَا طَاعَةً لِأَبِيهِ

ibnhibban:427al-Ṣūfī

A woman was my wife and I loved her, but Umar hated her. He said to me: Divorce her, but I refused. Umar then went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. The Prophet ﷺ said: Divorce her. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5138)   

ابن حبّان:٤٢٧أَخْبَرَنَا الصُّوفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ * أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كَانَتْ تَحْتِي امْرَأَةٌ وَكُنْتُ أُحِبُّهَا وَكَانَ أَبِي يَكْرَهُهَا فَأَمَرَنِي بِطَلَاقِهَا فَأَبَيْتُ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ طَلِّقْهَا»
