[3654] 2 - (...) It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "I divorced my wife at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ while she was menstruating. 'Umar mentioned that to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he said: 'Tell him to take her back, then let him wait until she becomes pure, then menstruates again, then when she becomes pure again, let him divorce her before having intercourse with her, or let him keep her. That is the Iddah (prescribed periods) for which Allâh has enjoined the divorce of women.” ‘Ubaidullâh said: “I said to Nâfi’: ‘What happened to that divorce?’ He said: ‘It was one divorce that was counted as such.’”
