3455. It was narrated from Ma'qil, from Az-Zuhrî who said: "Abdur-Raḥmân bin 'Abdullâh bin Ka'b narrated that his paternal uncle 'Ubaidullâh bin Ka'b said: 'I heard my father Ka'b say: The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent word to me and my two companions saying: The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ commands you to keep away from your wives. I said to the envoy: Should I divorce my wife, or what should I do? He said: No, just keep away from her and do not come near her. I said to my wife: Go to your family and stay with them until Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, decides (concerning me). So she went to them.'" (Sahih)

3425 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي كَعْبًا، يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ: أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِلَى صَاحِبَيَّ «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَعْتَزِلُوا نِسَاءَكُمْ» فَقُلْتُ لِلرَّسُولِ: أُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتِي أَمْ مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ؟ قَالَ: «لَا، بَلْ تَعْتَزِلُهَا وَلَا تَقْرَبْهَا»، فَقُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي: الْحَقِي بِأَهْلِكِ فَكُونِي فِيهِمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَلَحِقَتْ بِهِمْ «خَالَفَهُ مَعْمَرٌ»
