English translation
[3661] 7 - (...) It was narrated that Ibn Sīrīn said: For twenty years those whom I trust narrated to me that Ibn 'Umar divorced his wife thrice while she was menstruating and he was told to take her back. I did not doubt them, but I did not hear the Hadīth from anyone else either, until I met Abū Ghallāb, Yūnus bin Jubair Al-Bāhilī, who was very reliable. He told me that he asked Ibn 'Umar, who told him that he had divorced his wife with one divorce while she was menstruating, and he was commanded to take her back. He said: I said: "Was that counted as a divorce?" He said: 'Of course; it must be counted even if he failed and acted foolishly.'[1]
