أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ نُبِّئْتُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم - وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم - كَانَ طَلَّقَ حَفْصَةَ ثُمَّ رَاجَعَهَا . وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3560
This hadith about divorce and reconciliation gives one clear report: the Prophet divorced Hafsah and then took her back. Its focus is the return to the marriage after the divorce. The narration does not give extra details about the reason for the divorce, the timing, or any wider legal conditions, so those points should not be added to its meaning. For readers searching for the Hafsah divorce hadith, the main lesson is simple and direct. A divorce occurred, followed by reconciliation. The report also ends with the careful phrase, “And Allah knows best,” which reminds the reader to speak with care and not claim more than the text states.

- The narration reports both a divorce and a later return to the marriage.
- The text does not state why the divorce happened.
- The report should be explained without adding missing details.
