The Book of Divorce

كتاب الطلاق

 

Chapter 18: "Go To Your Family" Does Not Necessarily Mean Divorce

باب الْحَقِي بِأَهْلِكِ ‏‏

Sunnan an-Nasai 3426

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Ka'b bin Malik that his father said

"The envoy of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to me and said: 'Keep away from your wife.' I said: 'Should I divorce her?' He said: 'No, but do not approach her.'" And he (the narrator) did not mention (the words): "Go to your family."

أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَوْرٍ - عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ إِذَا رَسُولٌ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ اعْتَزِلِ امْرَأَتَكَ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ أُطَلِّقُهَا قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ لاَ تَقْرَبْهَا ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ الْحَقِي بِأَهْلِكِ ‏.‏
