Hadith 1074

Abu Dawud has reported (a Hadith) better than the aforesaid one through another chain, it has: "Abu Rukana divorced his wife Suhaimah irrevocably and said, 'I swear by Allah that I meant it to be only a single utterance of divorce,' so the Prophet (SAW) returned her to him."

وَقَدْ رَوَى أَبُو دَاوُدَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ : { أَنَّ رُكَانَةَ طَلَّقَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ سُهَيْمَةَ اَلْبَتَّةَ , فَقَالَ : "وَاَللَّهِ مَا أَرَدْتُ بِهَا إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً, فَرَدَّهَا إِلَيْهِ اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏-صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ } ‏- <sup>1</sup>‏ .‏
