Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 9, Hadith 164

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that: a woman came to the Prophet and became Muslim, and a man married her. Then her first husband came and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I became Muslim with her, and she knew that I was Muslim.” So the Messenger of Allah took her away from her second husband and returned her to her first husband.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ جُمَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، جَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَأَسْلَمَتْ ‏.‏ فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَجُلٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَجَاءَ زَوْجُهَا الأَوَّلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَسْلَمْتُ مَعَهَا وَعَلِمَتْ بِإِسْلاَمِي ‏.‏ قَالَ فَانْتَزَعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا الآخَرِ وَرَدَّهَا إِلَى زَوْجِهَا الأَوَّلِ ‏.‏

Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 9, Hadith 164
Da’if (Darussalam)

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Compiled by the scholar Ibn Majah, who passed away in 273 AH (886 CE), the Sunan Ibn Majah is recognized as one of the six canonical hadith collections, or Kutub al-Sittah, within Sunni Islam. This substantial work contains approximately 4,000 narrations that address a wide array of subjects crucial to Islamic life. These topics encompass matters of faith, detailed ritual practices, personal ethics, and broader social issues. While it is a respected and important resource, its standing is often considered slightly below that of the other five major collections. This perception exists because scholars have identified a number of weaker narrations within its contents. Despite this qualification, it continues to be an invaluable reference for Islamic scholars and students engaged in deep study.
