Sunan Abi Dawud 2202 (Book 13, Hadith 28) #22493
Staying Away from Spouse Until Allah Decides

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) commanded Kaab bin Malik to stay away from his wife for a period of time until Allah made a decision in the matter.

'Abd Allah bin Ka’b reported "I heard Ka’ab bin Malik. He then narrated his story about the battle of Tabuk.(Narrating the story) he added "When forty out of fifty days passed", the messenger of the Apostle of Allaah came and said "The Apostle of Allaah has commanded you to keep away from your wife. He said "So, I (Ka’b bin Malik)" said "Should I divorce her or what should I do? He said "No, but only keep away from her and do not go near her". So, I said to my wife "Go to your people and live with them until Allaah, the exalted makes a decision in this matter".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، - وَكَانَ قَائِدَ كَعْبٍ مِنْ بَنِيهِ حِينَ عَمِيَ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍفَسَاقَ قِصَّتَهُ فِي تَبُوكَ قَالَ حَتَّى إِذَا مَضَتْ أَرْبَعُونَ مِنَ الْخَمْسِينَ إِذَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ يَأْتِي فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَعْتَزِلَ امْرَأَتَكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أُطَلِّقُهَا أَمْ مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ قَالَ لاَ بَلِ اعْتَزِلْهَا فَلاَ تَقْرَبَنَّهَا ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ لاِمْرَأَتِي الْحَقِي بِأَهْلِكِ فَكُونِي عِنْدَهُمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ
