Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3558
This concise Hadith states that Ibn Umar divorced his wife while she was menstruating. The Messenger of Allah then ordered him to take her back, and he did so. Its main subject is divorce during menstruation and the immediate corrective instruction reported in the text. Because this narration is very brief, it should not be made to carry details that it does not mention. It does not describe the later waiting sequence, whether the divorce counted, or what happened after she became pure. Those points appear in other narrations, but this report itself gives only two facts: the divorce happened during menstruation, and Ibn Umar was commanded to restore the marriage. A faithful explanation keeps that narrow wording clear.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ibn Umar divorced his wife while she was menstruating.
- The Prophet ordered him to take her back.
- Ibn Umar followed the instruction.
