2039 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَرْدَكَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ثَلَاثٌ جِدُّهُنَّ جِدٌّ، وَهَزْلُهُنَّ جِدٌّ: النِّكَاحُ، وَالطَّلَاقُ، وَالرَّجْعَةُ "

Commentary
The relationship of marriage is extremely important due to which a man and woman become lawful for each other and they accept its responsibilities; and it is also because of the marriage bond that their children are legal. Therefore, many rules were Divinely legislated to keep the sanctity of this relationship upright. When accepting a religious responsibility, or withdrawing from it, one should carefully reflect upon its consequences, so that one will not have to face regret and worry later.
