Sunan Ibn Majah 2022 (Book 10, Hadith 7) #31374
The Seriousness of Divorce

SUMMARY: Divorce is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly.

It was narrated that Yunus bin Jubair, Abu Ghallab, said: "I asked Ibn 'Umar about a man who divorced his wife when she was menstruating. He said: 'Do you know 'Abdullah bin 'Umar? He divorced his wife when she was menstruating then 'Umar came to the Prophet (and told him what had happened). He ordered him to take her back'. I said: 'Will that be counted (as a divorce)?' He said: 'Do You think he was helpless and behaving foolishly? ie, Yes, it counts (as a divorce)."'.
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَبِي غَلاَّبٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ، طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَقَالَ تَعْرِفُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَأَتَى عُمَرُ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا ‏.‏ قُلْتُ أَيُعْتَدُّ بِتِلْكَ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَجَزَ وَاسْتَحْمَقَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Think carefully before making decisions regarding marriage or divorce; take responsibility for one's actions; understand the seriousness of divorce in Islam; rectify mistakes quickly if possible .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the seriousness of divorce in Islam. It was narrated by Yunus bin Jubair and Abu Ghallab that they asked Ibn 'Umar about a man who divorced his wife when she was menstruating. Ibn 'Umar said that Abdullah bin Umar had done the same thing and when Umar told the Prophet about it, he ordered him to take her back. This shows that divorce is not something to be taken lightly as it has serious consequences for both parties involved. It also shows that even if someone makes a mistake in divorcing their spouse, they can still rectify it if they act quickly enough. The Prophet's response also serves as an example for us to follow in our own lives; we should think carefully before making any decisions regarding marriage or divorce so as to avoid any unnecessary hardship or regret later on down the line.
