وَعَنِ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: { كَانَ إِيلَاءُ اَلْجَاهِلِيَّةِ اَلسَّنَةَ وَالسَّنَتَيْنِ, فَوَقَّتَ اَللَّهُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ, فَإِنْ كَانَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ, فَلَيْسَ بِإِيلَاءٍ } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلْبَيْهَقِيُّ . 1 .1 - صحيح. رواه البيهقي (7 /381).
The swearing to stay away from one’s wife in al-Jahiliyyah era was for one or two years. Then, Allah appointed a period of four months for it. So, if it is less than four months, it is not swearing to stay away from one’s wife.

Chain Data Audit In Progress
Narrator-chain data on this hadith is being actively audited against canonical sources (sunnah.com, dorar.net). Some chains in our database may differ from the canonical isnad pending review. Treat the family tree below as a working analysis, not a definitive scholarly source.
About these grades Grades shown above reflect specific scholars' assessments of the chain of transmission (isnad). They do not judge the Prophet's words. In Sunni tradition, all Companions of the Prophet are held to be upright (al-Sahaba kulluhum 'udul); any weakness in a chain originates with a later transmitter or a break in the chain, not with the Companion.
