ahmad:2031 – Yaḥyá > ʿAlī b. al-Mubārak > Yaḥyá b. Abū Kathīr > ʿUmar b. Muʿattib > Abū Ḥasan a freed slave of Abū Nawfal

Abu Hasan, a client of Banu Nawfal asked Ibn Abbas: A slave had a wife who was a slave-girl. He divorced her by two pronouncements. Afterwards both of them were freed. Is it permissible for him to ask her in marriage again? He said: Yes. This is a decision given by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2187)  

أحمد:٢٠٣١ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ مُعَتِّبٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا حَسَنٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي نَوْفَلٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ اسْتَفْتَى ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فِي مَمْلُوكٍ تَحْتَهُ مَمْلُوكَةٌ فَطَلَّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ عَتَقَا هَلْ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَخْطُبَهَا؟ قَالَ

نَعَمْ قَضَى بِذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ
