It is narrated about Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that he reunited a husband and wife who had previously undergone two divorces and a khul‘.

Ata reports: A woman came to the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and complained about her husband. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Return his garden to him (which he gave you as dowry, and obtain khul‘)." The woman said: "Alright, I will give him even more along with it." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "There is no need for any additional (payment)." Waleed narrated with a different chain from Ibn Jurayj, who narrated from Ata, from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), however, its being mursal is correct.

Jumhan narrates: During the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyidah Umm Bakrah Aslamah (may Allah be pleased with her) obtained khul‘ from her husband, so Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This will be counted as one divorce, however, if both of them have agreed upon something else, then it will be according to what they have agreed upon."

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "A woman seeking khul‘ can obtain khul‘ in exchange for something of lesser value than her bird."

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "No woman's pregnancy can remain in her womb for more than two years, even if it changes only as much as the shadow of a spindle's wood."

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "No woman's pregnancy can remain in her womb for more than two years, even if it changes as much as a spindle stick." A woman named Jameela bint Sa'd is the sister of Ubaid bin Sa'd.

A narrator named Abu Sufyan reports: Some of our elders have narrated this: A man came to Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "O Commander of the Faithful! I returned to my wife after two years, and she was pregnant." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted the people about stoning the woman, so Sayyiduna Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Commander of the Faithful! You can punish the woman, but you cannot punish the child in her womb, so leave her until she gives birth." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) left her, and she gave birth to a boy whose front teeth protruded outward, as a result of which the man realized the resemblance of the child to himself. He said, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah! This is my son." So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Women have become incapable of giving birth to a child like Mu'adh. If it were not for Mu'adh, Umar would have perished."

Waleed bin Muslim narrates: I said to Imam Malik: I have been told regarding Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "A woman can be pregnant for up to two years, as long as the shadow of a spindle." So Imam Malik said: "Subhan Allah! How can anyone say such a thing? This girl of ours, who is the wife of Muhammad bin Ajlan, she is a pious woman, and her husband is also a pious man. She has given birth to three children in twelve years, each of whom remained in their mother's womb for four years."

Mubarak bin Mujahid narrates: It is well-known among us that the wife of Muhammad bin Ajlan would give birth to children after being pregnant for four years; this woman was called "Hamilat al-Feel."

Hashim bin Yahya narrates: Once Malik bin Dinar was sitting, when a man came to him and said, "O Abu Yahya! Pray for this woman who has been pregnant for four years and is in severe pain." Malik bin Dinar became angry, closed the Mushaf, and said, "These people think we are prophets." Then he recited some verses, then prayed and said, "O Allah! If there is air in the woman's womb, then remove it now, and if there is a girl in her womb, then change her into a boy, for You can erase whom You will and keep whom You will; the Mother of the Book is with You." Then Malik bin Dinar raised his hands, and the people also raised their hands. Meanwhile, a messenger came to that man and said, "Go to your wife." The man left, and before Malik bin Dinar had lowered his hands, the man entered through the door of the mosque carrying a child in his arms, who had curly hair, was about four years old, had all his teeth, but his umbilical cord had not been cut.
