3422. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbās, concerning the saying of Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime: “O Prophet! When you divorce women, divorce them at their 'Iddah (prescribed periods).”[2] Ibn 'Abbās, may Allāh be pleased with him, said: “Before their 'Iddah elapses.”[3] (Ṣaḥīḥ)
3393 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا، يُحَدِّثُهُ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ} [الطلاق: 1] قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: «قُبُلِ عِدَّتِهِنَّ»

The purpose of Ibn 'Abbās saying this is that divorce should take place well before the waiting period; that means during the state of purity, because the waiting period commences with menstruation. If divorce takes place during menses, it would be during the waiting period, which is not right.
