English translation
2196. It was reported from Ibn Juraij that one of the sons of Abū Rāfi', the freed slave of the Prophet ﷺ, informed him from 'Ikrimah, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbās, from Ibn 'Abbās, that he said: "Abd Yazīd, the father of Rukānah, and his brothers, divorced Umm Rukānah, and married a woman from Muzainah. She (the woman from Muzainah) came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'He is as useful to me as this hair,' and plucked a hair from her head: 'So separate us from each other.' The Prophet ﷺ became angry at that, so he called for Rukānah and his brothers, and asked those who were seated with him: 'Do you see that so-and-so resembles Abd Yazīd in this way, and this one resembles him in that way?' They said: 'Yes.' So the Prophet ﷺ said to Abd Yazīd: 'Divorce her,' and he did so. Then he said: 'Take back your wife, the mother of Rukānah and his brothers.' He said: 'I divorced her three times, O Messenger of Allāh!' He replied, 'I know. Take her back,' and then recited: O Prophet! If you divorce women, then divorce them at their prescribed times..."[1] (Da'if)
Abū Dāwud said: the Ḥadīth of Nāfi' bin 'Ujair and 'Abdullāh bin 'Alī bin Yazīd bin Rukānah, from
his father, from his grand father — that Rukānah divorced his wife irrevocably (Al-Battah), and the Prophet ﷺ returned her to him[1] — it is more correct, because the son and family of a man are more knowledgeable of him. So Rukānah only divorced his wife with an irrevocable divorce and the Prophet ﷺ counted it as one.

2196 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي بَعْضُ بَنِي أَبِي رَافِعٍ، مَوْلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: طَلَّقَ عَبْدُ يَزِيدَ أَبُو رُكَانَةَ، وَإِخْوَتِهِ أُمَّ رُكَانَةَ، وَنَكَحَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ، فَجَاءَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: مَا يُغْنِي عَنِّي إِلَّا كَمَا تُغْنِي هَذِهِ الشَّعْرَةُ، لِشَعْرَةٍ أَخَذَتْهَا مِنْ رَأْسِهَا، فَفَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ، فَأَخَذَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَمِيَّةٌ، فَدَعَا بِرُكَانَةَ، وَإِخْوَتِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَجُلَسَائِهِ: «أَتَرَوْنَ فُلَانًا يُشْبِهُ مِنْهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟، مِنْ عَبْدِ يَزِيدَ، وَفُلَانًا يُشْبِهُ مِنْهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟» قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَبْدِ يَزِيدَ: «طَلِّقْهَا» فَفَعَلَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «رَاجِعِ امْرَأَتَكَ أُمَّ رُكَانَةَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ؟» قَالَ: إِنِّي طَلَّقْتُهَا ثَلَاثًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «قَدْ عَلِمْتُ رَاجِعْهَا» وَتَلَا: {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ} [الطلاق: 1]، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَحَدِيثُ نَافِعِ بْنِ عُجَيْرٍ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رُكَانَةَ، طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ الْبَتَّةَ، فَرَدَّهَا إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَصَحُّ، لِأَنَّ وَلَدَ الرَّجُلِ، وَأَهْلَهُ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ، إِنَّ رُكَانَةَ إِنَّمَا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ الْبَتَّةَ، فَجَعَلَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحِدَةً»
