Question: Did the Prophet (PBUH) ever divorce any of his wives, and if so, why?
Answer: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) once divorced Hafsah (RA) but later took her back. This incident is mentioned in the collections of Abu Dawood (2283), Ibn Majah (2016), and Nasai (3560), which Shaykh Al-Albani classified as authentic. Other narrations indicate that Angel Jibril (AS) came to the Prophet (PBUH) and instructed him to take Hafsah (RA) back, as she was devout in fasting and prayer and would be his wife in Paradise. While the exact reason for the divorce is not explicitly mentioned, some scholars suggest it may be related to the secret Hafsah (RA) disclosed, as referenced in Surah Tahrim. However, this is not explicitly confirmed.
