Sahih al-Bukhari 4995 (Book 67, Hadith 137)
her, I went to the mosque and found that it was crowded with people. Then `Umar bin Al-Khattab
came and went up to the Prophet (ﷺ) who was in his upper room. He greeted him but nobody answered.
He greeted again, but nobody answered. Then the gatekeeper called him and he entered upon the
Prophet, and asked, “Have you divorced your wives?” The Prophet, said, “No, but I have taken an oath
not to go to them for one month.” So the Prophet (ﷺ) stayed away (from his wives) for twenty nine days
and then entered upon them.
“ لاَ وَلَكِنْ آلَيْتُ مِنْهُنَّ شَهْرًا ”. فَمَكَثَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ.
