Muwatta Malik #1272
Divorce
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَدَخَلَتْ فِي الدَّمِ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَقَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ وَبَرِئَ مِنْهَا . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَهُوَ الأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
said, "When a man divorces his wife and she begins her third period,
she is free from him and he is free from her."
Malik said,
"This is how things are done among us."
