الطبراني:٩٦١١حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ {§فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ} قَالَ

«طَاهِرًا مِنْ غَيْرِ جِمَاعٍ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا لِلسُّنَّةِ ثَلَاثًا طَلَّقَهَا فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ عَلَيْهَا حَيْضَةٌ بَعْدَ آخِرِ تَطْلِيقَةٍ»
