(Book 29, Hadith 80) #36296
The Revelation of Divorce in Islam

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that before the revelation of the Quran, people used to divorce their wives multiple times and then take them back. After the revelation of the Quran, people were instructed to only divorce twice and then either keep them or set them free kindly.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his father said, "It used to be that a man would divorce his wife and then return to her before her idda was over, and that was alright, even if he divorced her a thousand times. The man went to his wife and then divorced her and when the end of her idda was in sight, he took her back and then divorced her and said, 'No! By Allah, I will not go to you and you will never be able to marry again'. Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, sent down, 'Divorce is twice, then honourable retention or setting free kindly'. People then turned towards divorce in a new light from that day whether or not they were divorced or not divorced".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثُمَّ ارْتَجَعَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ فَعَمَدَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فَطَلَّقَهَا حَتَّى إِذَا شَارَفَتِ انْقِضَاءَ عِدَّتِهَا رَاجَعَهَا ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لاَ وَاللَّهِ لاَ آوِيكِ إِلَىَّ وَلاَ تَحِلِّينَ أَبَدًا ‏.‏ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى ‏{‏الطَّلاَقُ مَرَّتَانِ فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ‏}‏ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ الطَّلاَقَ جَدِيدًا مِنْ يَوْمِئِذٍ مَنْ كَانَ طَلَّقَ مِنْهُمْ أَوْ لَمْ يُطَلِّقْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains how Allah revealed instructions regarding divorce in the Quran. Before this revelation, it was common for a man to divorce his wife multiple times and then take her back again. However, after this revelation, it was made clear that a man should only be allowed to divorce his wife twice and then either keep her or set her free kindly. This hadith teaches us that we should always follow Allah's instructions as they are for our own benefit even if they may seem difficult at first. It also teaches us about marriage being an important part of life and how we should treat our spouses with respect even if we decide to end our marriage through a legal process such as divorce.
