1128. Ibn 'Umar narrated: "Ghīlān bin Salamah Ath-Thaqafī accepted Islām and he had ten wives in Jahiliyyah who accepted Islām along with him. So the Prophet ﷺ ordered (him) to chose four (of them)." (Ḍa'if)
(Abū 'Eisā said:) This is how Ma'mar reported this Hadīth from Az-Zuhri: "From Sālim, from his father." (He said:) I heard Muḥammad bin Ismā'il saying: "This Hadīth is not preserved. What is correct is what Shu'aib bin Abī Ḥamzah and others reported from Az-Zuhri (and Ḥamzah), he said: "He narrated to me from Muḥammad bin Suwaid Ath-
Thaqafi that Ghilān bin Salamah accepted Islām and he had ten wives.” Muḥammad said: “The Hadīth of Az-Zuhri from Sālim, from his father, was only: “A man from Thaqif divorced his wives. So ‘Umar said to him: ‘Return to your wives or they will stone your grave just as the grave of Abū Righāl is stoned.”
(Abū ‘Eisā said:) The Hadīth of Ghilān bin Salamah is acted upon according to our companions, among them Ash-Shāfi‘ī, Aḥmad, and Ishāq.

Commentary
In the reign of ‘Umar, Ghilan Ath-Thaqafi divorced his wife with the intention to deprive her from inheritance, and distribute it among his sons. ‘Umar asked him to return to his wife and remarry her otherwise he will face severe consequences. It means divorcing with such bad intentions is not lawful.
