22. Divorce
٢٢۔ كِتَابُ الطَّلَاقِ
"O Messenger of Allah, I declared Zihar on my wife, then I had intercourse with her before I offered the expiation." He said: "What made you do that, may Allah have mercy on you?" He said: "I saw her anklets in the light of the moon." He said: "Do not approach her until you have done that which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has commanded." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3457)
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدْ ظَاهَرَ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي ظَاهَرْتُ مِنَ امْرَأَتِي فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ أُكَفِّرَ قَالَ «وَمَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ؟» قَالَ رَأَيْتُ خَلْخَالَهَا فِي ضَوْءِ الْقَمَرِ فَقَالَ «لَا تَقْرَبْهَا حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ مَا أَمَرَ اللهُ»
"A man declared Zihar to his wife, then had intercourse with her before he had offered the expiation. He mentioned that to the Prophet. The Prophet said to him: 'What made you do that?' He said: 'May Allah have mercy on you, O Messenger of Allah. I saw her anklets, or her calves, in the light of the moon.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Keep away from her until you have done that which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has commanded.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3458)
لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ رَحِمَكَ اللهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْتُ خَلْخَالَهَا أَوْ سَاقَيْهَا فِي ضَوْءِ الْقَمَرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَاعْتَزِلْهَا حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ مَا أَمَرَكَ اللهُ»
[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, it appears to be from his wife and then he covers her before fulfilling his obligations towards her. He said, 'What caused you to do that?' He said, 'I saw the whiteness of her leg in the moonlight.' He said, 'Separate yourself from her until you fulfill your obligations.'"
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ ظَاهَرَ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ ثُمَّ غَشِيَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْضِي مَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ «مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ سَاقِهَا فِي الْقَمَرِ قَالَ «فَاعْتَزِلْهَا حَتَّى تَقْضِيَ مَا عَلَيْكَ» اللَّفْظُ لِإِسْحَاقَ
"Praise be to Allah Whose hearing encompasses all voices. Khawlah came to the Messenger of Allah complaining about her husband, but I could not hear what she said. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: 'Indeed Allah has heard the statement of her that disputes with you concerning her husband, and complains to Allah. And Allah hears the argument between you both.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3460)
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَسِعَ سَمْعُهُ الْأَصْوَاتَ لَقَدْ جَاءَتْ خَوْلَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَشْكُو زَوْجَهَا فَكَانَ يَخْفَى عَلَيَّ كَلَامُهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {قَدْ سَمِعَ اللهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي تُجَادِلُكَ فِي زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِي إِلَى اللهِ وَاللهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَا} [المجادلة 1] الْآيَةَ
