The Book of Divorce
Sunan an-Nasā'ī 3389
مُرْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا ثُمَّ يَدَعْهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ مِنْ حَيْضَتِهَا هَذِهِ ثُمَّ تَحِيضَ حَيْضَةً أُخْرَى فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ فَإِنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُفَارِقْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا وَإِنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُمْسِكْهَا فَإِنَّهَا الْعِدَّةُ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ تُطَلَّقَ لَهَا النِّسَاءُ
mur ʿabda-Llāh falyurājiʿhā thumma yadaʿhā ḥattā taṭhura min ḥayḍatihā hadhihi thumma taḥīḍa ḥayḍatan ukhrā fa-idhā ṭahurat fa-in shāʾa falyufāriqhā qabla an yujāmiʿahā wa-in shāʾa falyumsikhā fa-innahā al-ʿiddah at-tī amara-Llāh ʿazza wajalla an tuṭallaqa lahā an-nisāʾu

The full narration
Nafi' narrated from 'Abdullah, that he divorced his wife while she was menstruating. 'Umar asked the Messenger of Allah about that and said:"Abdullah has divorced his wife while she was menstruating." He said: "Tell 'Abdullah to take her back, then leave her until she becomes pure from this menstrual period, then menstruates again, then when she becomes pure again, if he wishes he may separate from her before having intercourse with her, or if he wishes he may keep her. This is the time when Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has stated that women may be divorced
