[Machine] We woke up one day and the wives of the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ were crying at the homes of each of them. So, I went to the mosque and found it filled with people. Umar came and went up to the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ who was in a room, he greeted him but he did not respond. So, Umar said, "Have you divorced your wives?" He replied, "No, but I have withdrawn from them." He stayed in seclusion for twenty-nine nights, then he came to his wives.
أَصْبَحْنَا يَوْمًا وَنِسَاءُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَبْكِينَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ أَهْلُهَا فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مُلِئَ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ فَصَعِدَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي غَرْفَةٍ فَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَقَالَ أَطَلَّقْتَ نِسَاءَكَ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنِّي آلَيْتُ» فَمَكَثَ إِلَى تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ
