I asked (Ibn 'Umar), "Is such a divorce counted (ie as one legal divorce)?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Of course".

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ طَلَّقَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهْىَ حَائِضٌ، فَذَكَرَ عُمَرُ لِلنَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لِيُرَاجِعْهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ تُحْتَسَبُ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَمَهْ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَعَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ ‏"‏ مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ تُحْتَسَبُ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَجَزَ وَاسْتَحْمَقَ‏.‏
