Abu Dawud said “The opinion of Ibn Abbas has been mentioned in the following tradition. “Ahmad bin Salih and Muhammad bin Yahya narrated this is the version of Ahmad (bin Salih)” from Abd Ar Razzaq from Mamar from Al Zuhri from Abu Salamah din Abd Al Rahman bin Awf and Muhammad bin Abd Al Rahman bin Thawban from Muhammad bin Iyas that Ibn Abbas, Abu Hurairah and Abd Alah bin Amr bin Al ‘As were asked about a virgin who is divorced three times by her husband. They all said “She is not lawful for him until she marries a man other than her former husband. ”Abu Dawud said “Malik narrated from Yahya bin Saeed from Bukair bin Al Ashajj from Muawiyah bin Abi Ayyash who was present on this occasion when Muhammad bin Iyas bin Al Bukair came to Ibn Al Zubair and Asim in Umar. He asked them about this matter. They replied “Go to Ibn Abbas and Abu Hurairah, I have left them with Aishah (may Allaah be pleased with her). He then narrated the rest of the tradition. ” Abu Dawud said “The statement of Ibn Abbas goes “The divorce by three pronouncements separates the wife from husband whether the marriage has been consummated or not, the previous husband is not lawful for her until she marries a man other than her husband”. This statement is like the tradition which deals with the exchange of money. In this tradition the narrator said “Ibn Abbas withdrew his opinion. ”"

Tawus said A man called Abu Al Sahba used to ask Ibn Abbas questions frequently. He asked “Do you know that when a man divorced his wife by three pronouncement before sexual intercourse with her, they (the people) made it a single divorce during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, of Abu Bakr and in the early phase of the caliphate of Umar?” Ibn “Abbas said “Yes, when a man divorced his wife by three pronouncement before sexual intercourse they made it a single divorce during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, of Abu Bakr and in the early phase of the caliphate of Umar. When he saw that the people frequently divorced (by three pronouncements) he said “Make them operative on them (i. e., on women)”.

Tawus said: Abu al-Sahba' said to Ibn Abbas: Do you know that a divorce by three pronouncements was made a single one during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and of Abu Bakr and in the early days of the caliphate of Umar? He replied: Yes.

Umar bin Al Khattab reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying “Actions are to be judged only by intentions and a man will have only what he intended. When one’s emigration is to Allaah and His Messenger, his emigration is to Allaah and His Messenger but his emigration is to a worldly end at which he aims or to a woman whom he marries, his emigration is to that for which he emigrated.

Abdullah bin Kaab reported “I heard Kaab bin Malik. He then narrated his story about the battle of Tabuk. (Narrating the story) he added “When forty out of fifty days passed”, the messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has commanded you to keep away from your wife. He said “So, I (Kaab bin Malik)” said “Should I divorce her or what should I do? He said “No, but only keep away from her and do not go near her”. So, I said to my wife “Go to your people and live with them until Allaah, the exalted makes a decision in this matter. ”

Hammad ibn Zayd said: I asked Ayyub: Do you know anyone who narrates the tradition narrated by Al-Hasan about uttering the words (addressing wife). "Your matter is in your hand"? He replied: No, except something similar transmitted by Qatadah from Kathir, the client of Samurah, from Abu Salamah on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ. Ayyub said: Kathir then came to us; so I asked him (about this matter). He replied: I never narrated it. I mentioned it to Qatadah who said: Yes (he narrated it) but he forgot.

Nafi bun Ujair bin Abd Yazid bin Ruknah reported Ruknah bin Abd Yazid divorced his wife Suhaimah absolutely. The Prophet ﷺ was informed about this matter. He said to him (the Prophet) I swear by Allaah that I meant it to be only a single utterance of divorce. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “I swear by Allaah that I meant it to be only a single divorce. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ restored her to him, Then he divorced her the second time in the time of Umar and the third time of Uthman. Abu Dawud said “This tradition contains the words of Ibrahim in its beginning and the words of Ibn Al Sarh in the end.

Ali bin Yazid bin Rukanah reported on the authority of his father from his grandfather that he (Rukanah) divorced his wife absolutely; so he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He asked (him): What did you intend? He said: A single utterance of divorce. He said: Do you swear by Allah? He replied: I swear by Allah. He said: It stands as you intended. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is sounder than that of Ibn Juraij that Rukanah divorced his wife by three pronouncements, for they are the members of his family and they are more aware for him. The tradition of Ibn Juraij has been narrated by some children of Abu Rafi from Ikrimah on the authority of Ibn Abbas.

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying “Allah has ignored for my community what comes to their mind, so long as they do not act or pronounce words to that effect. ”
