Your wives are a tilth to you, so come to your tilth however you will.” *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-2163/)* --- ## Hadith #2169 **Book:** Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah) | **Narrator(s):** Abdullah bin Abi Najih عبد الله بن أبي نجيح, Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, Mujahid bin Jabir مجاهد بن جبر, Sufyan bin Sa‘id Ath-Thawri سفيان الثوري | **Grade:** Da'if If a man has sexual intercourse (with menstruating woman) during her bleeding, he should give one dinar as sadaqah, and if he does so when bleeding has stopped, he should give half a dinar as sadaqah. *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-2169/)* --- ## Hadith #2196 **Book:** Divorce (Kitab Al-Talaq) | **Narrator(s):** Abdullah bin Kathir al-Dari عبد الله بن كثير الداري, Ayoub al-Sakhtiyani أيوب السختياني, Hameed bin Musa'da bin al-Mubarak حميد بن مسعدة بن المبارك, Mujahid bin Jabir مجاهد بن جبر | **Grade:** Hasan Abd Yazid, the father of Rukanah and his brothers, divorced Umm Rukanah and married a woman of the tribe of Muzaynah. She went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: He is of no use to me except that he is as useful to me as a hair; and she took a hair from her head. So separate me from him. The Prophet (ﷺ) became furious. He called on Rukanah and his brothers. He then said to those who were sitting beside him. Do you see so-and-so who resembles Abdu Yazid in respect of so-and-so; and so-and-so who resembles him in respect of so-and-so? They replied: Yes. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Abdu Yazid: Divorce her. Then he did so. He said: Take your wife, the mother of Rukanah and his brothers, back in marriage. He said: I have divorced her by three pronouncements, Messenger of Allah. He said: I know: take her back. He then recited the verse: “O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them at their appointed periods.” Abu Dawud said: The tradition narrated by Nafi’ b. ‘Ujair and ‘Abd Allah b. Yazid b. Rukanah from his father on the authority of his grandfather reads: Rukanah divorced his wife absolutely (i.e. irrevocable divorce). The Prophet (ﷺ) restored her to him. This version is sounder (than other versions), for they (i.e. these narrators) are the children of his man, and the members of the family are more aware of his case. Rukanah divorced his wife absolutely (i.e. three divorces in one pronouncement) and the Prophet (ﷺ) made it a single divorce. *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-2196/)* --- ## Hadith #2235 **Book:** Divorce (Kitab Al-Talaq) | **Narrator(s):** Aban bin Salah bin 'Umayr أبان بن صالح بن عمير, Abdul 'Aziz bin Yahya bin Yusuf عبد العزيز بن يحيى بن يوسف البكائي, Aisha bint Abi Bakr, Hisham bin 'Urwa هشام بن عروة, Ibn Ishaq محمد بن إسحاق بن يسار‎, Muhammad bin Salmah محمد بن سلمة بن عبد الله الباهلي, Mujahid bin Jabir مجاهد بن جبر, Urwa ibn al-Zubayr عروة بن الزبير | **Grade:** Sahih A’ishah said “Barirah’s husband was a free man when she was emancipated.
