1189. Ibn 'Umar narrated: "I had a wife whom I loved, but my father disliked her, so he ordered me to divorce her but I refused. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'O 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar! Divorce your wife.'" (Hasan) (Abū 'Eisā said:) This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣāḥih, we only know of it as a narration of Ibn Abī Dhi'b.

Arabic text

١١٨٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ‌ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنِ ‌الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ ‌حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: «كَانَتْ تَحْتِي امْرَأَةٌ» أُحِبُّهَا، وَكَانَ أَبِي يَكْرَهُهَا، فَأَمَرَنِي أَبِي أَنْ أُطَلِّقَهَا فَأَبَيْتُ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، طَلِّقِ امْرَأَتَكَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفَهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ.

Commentary

Divorce is lawful but not appreciated. Divorce has been permitted under severe circumstances and dire need. No one should divorce his wife without utmost necessity, and in unavoidable circumstances.
