Marriage
Bulugh al-Maram 1070
Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA):
In the time of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), he divorced his wife while she was menstruating, so 'Umar asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about that and he replied, "Command him to take her back and keep her till she is purified (from menses), has another period, and is then purified. If he then wishes he may keep her and if he wishes he may divorce her before having intercourse with her. That is the 'Iddah (period of waiting) which Allah commanded for the divorce of women." [Agreed upon].
وَعَنِ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ ‏- رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا { أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ ‏- وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ ‏- فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-عَنْ ذَلِكَ ? فَقَالَ : " مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا , ثُمَّ لْيُمْسِكْهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ , ثُمَّ تَحِيضَ , ثُمَّ تَطْهُرَ , ثُمَّ إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَ بَعْدُ , وَإِنْ شَاءَ طَلَّقَ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ , فَتِلْكَ اَلْعِدَّةُ اَلَّتِي أَمَرَ اَللَّهُ أَنْ تُطَلَّقَ لَهَا اَلنِّسَاءُ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 1070
A narration of Muslim has:
"Ibn 'Umar (RA) said: 'If you had only made one or two pronouncements of divorce [it would have been better]. Indeed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded me to take her back, then keep her till she has another period, then give her a reprieve till she is purified, then divorce her before having intercourse with her. As for you, you have divorced her with three pronouncements (at once), and have therefore disobeyed your Rabb (your Lord, the Creator) concerning what He commanded you regarding divorcing your wife.'"
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ : قَالَ اِبْنُ عُمَرَ : { أَمَّا أَنْتَ طَلَّقْتَهَا وَاحِدَةً أَوْ اِثْنَتَيْنِ ; فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُرَاجِعَهَا , ثُمَّ أُمْهِلَهَا حَتَّى تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى , وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ طَلَّقْتَهَا ثَلَاثًا , فَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ رَبَّكَ فِيمَا أَمَرَكَ مِنْ طَلَاقِ اِمْرَأَتِكَ } 1‏ .‏

Another narration [of Muslim] has:
"Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) said: 'So he returned her to me and did not regarded it as anything, and said: When she is purified, either divorce her or keep her.'"
وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى : قَالَ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ : { فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيَّ , وَلَمْ يَرَهَا شَيْئًا , وَقَالَ : " إِذَا طَهُرَتْ فَلْيُطَلِّقْ أَوْ لِيُمْسِكْ } 1‏ .‏
