Verily the people have begun to hasten in the matter in which they are required to observe respite. So if we had imposed this upon them, and he imposed it upon them. (Using translation from Muslim 1472a)   

كَانَ الطَّلَاقُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَسَنَتَيْنِ مِنْ خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ ؓ طَلَاقُ الثَّلَاثِ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدِ اسْتَعْجَلُوا فِي أَمْرٍ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ فِيهِ أَنَاةٌ فَلَوْ أَمْضَيْنَاهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَمْضَاهُ عَلَيْهِمْ  

[Machine] "Do you know that the three (things) were made into one during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and three (things) during the caliphate of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)?" Ibn Abbas replied, "Yes."  

لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَتَعْلَمُ إِنَّمَا كَانَتِ الثَّلَاثُ تُجْعَلُ وَاحِدَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ وَثَلَاثٍ فِي إِمَارَةِ عُمَرَ ؓ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] To Ibn Abbas, fetch from your knowledge, was the divorce of three [times] not only one [divorce], during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr? He said, that indeed was the case. But when it was the time of Umar, people continued to divorce [multiple times], so he enforced it upon them.  

لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ هَاتِ مِنْ هَنَاتِكَ أَلَمْ يَكُنْ طَلَاقُ الثَّلَاثِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ وَاحِدَةً؟ قَالَ قَدْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي عَهْدِ عُمَرَ ؓ تَتَابَعَ النَّاسُ فِي الطَّلَاقِ فَأَمْضَاهُ عَلَيْهِمْ  

[Machine] That man had the right to take back his wife if he divorced her, but if he divorced her three times, that was abolished and it is said, "Divorce is allowed twice" [Quran 2:229].  

أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ كَانَ إِذَا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِرَجْعَتِهَا وَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَنُسِخَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ {الطَّلَاقُ مَرَّتَانِ} [البقرة 229] الْآيَةَ  

[Machine] "He said to a man who divorced his wife three times, 'She is forbidden for you.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكَ  

[Machine] She takes three and leaves seventy-nine.  

تَأْخُذُ ثَلَاثًا وَتَدَعُ سَبْعًا وَتِسْعِينَ  

Mujahid said “I was with Ibn ‘Abbas”. A man came to him and said that he divorced his wife by three pronouncements. I kept silence and thought that he was going to restore het to him. He then said “A man goes and commits a foolish act and then says “O, Ibn ‘Abbas! Alaah has said “And for those who fear Allaah, He (ever) prepares a way out.” Since you did not keep duty to Allaah I do not find a way out for you. You disobeyed your Lord and your wife was separated from you. Allaah has said “O Prophet! When you divorce women divorce them in the beginning of their waiting period.” Abu Dawud said “This tradition has been transmitted by Humaid Al A’raj and by others from Mujahid on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas. Shu’bjh narrated it from ‘Amr bin Murrah from Sa’id bin Jubair on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas. Ayyub and Ibn ‘Jubair both narrated it from “’Ikrimah bin Khalid from Sa’id bin Jubair on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas. Ibn Juraij narrated it from ‘Abd Al Hamid bin Rafi’ from ‘Ata from Ibn ‘Abbas. Al A’mash narrated it from Malik bin Al Harith on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas. They all said about the divorce by three pronouncements. He allowed it and said” (Your wife) has been separated from you similar to the tradition narrated by Isma’il from Ayub from ‘Abd Allaah bin Kathir.” Abu Dawud said “Hammad bin Zaid narrated it from Ayyub from ‘Ikrimah on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas. This version adds If he said “You are divorced three times saying in one pronouncement, it constitutes a single (divorce). Isma’il bin Ibrahim narrated it from Ayyub from ‘Ikrimah. This is his (‘Ikrimah’s) statement. He did not mention the name of Ibn ‘Abbas. He narrated it as a statement of ‘Ikrimah.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2197)   

عَصَيْتَ رَبَّكَ وَبَانَتْ مِنْكَ امْرَأَتُكَ لَمْ تَتَّقِ اللهَ فَيَجْعَلْ لَكَ مَخْرَجًا {مَنْ يَتَّقِ اللهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا} [الطلاق 2] {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ} [الطلاق 1] فِي قُبُلِ عِدَّتِهِنَّ  

[Machine] She takes three and leaves seven and ninety.  

تَأْخُذُ ثَلَاثًا وَتَدَعُ سَبْعًا وَتِسْعِينَ  

[Machine] The passage translates to: "Only the head of the walnut is sufficient for you."  

إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ رَأْسُ الْجَوْزَاءِ  

[Machine] Indeed, your uncle disobeyed Allah and Allah regrets it, and he obeyed Shaytan and did not find a way out. He said, "Should not a man resolve this for him?" So he said, "Whoever deceives Allah, Allah will deceive him."  

إِنَّ عَمَّكَ عَصَى اللهَ فَأَنْدَمَهُ اللهُ وَأَطَاعَ الشَّيْطَانَ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا قَالَ أَفَلَا يُحْلِلْهَا لَهُ رَجُلٌ؟ فَقَالَ مَنْ يُخَادِعِ اللهَ يَخْدَعْهُ  

[Machine] It was thought during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that it was agreed upon, meaning that it was by the command of the Prophet ﷺ. So, the one who resembles - and Allah knows best - is that Ibn Abbas knew if something was abrogated. If it is said, what is the evidence for what you have described? It is said, it is not similar for Ibn Abbas to narrate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ something and then contradicts it with something he did not know was from the Prophet ﷺ. Shaykh narrates from Ikrimah that has passed in the abrogation and in it is a confirmation of the validity of this interpretation. Al-Shafi'i said, if it is said, so perhaps this is something narrated from Umar, and it is said about it that Ibn Abbas responded to Umar with Umar's statement. It is said, we have known that Ibn Abbas contradicted Umar in temporary marriage, selling dinars for two dinars, selling mothers of children, and other matters. So how can he agree with him on something that is narrated from the Prophet ﷺ in which there is a contradiction? Al-Shafi'i said, and it has been mentioned during the time of Abu Bakr and during the caliphate of Umar. It is said, Allah knows best, and his answer when he was consulted concerning the contradiction of that, as I have described. The Shaykh said, and it is possible that he understood the three divorces to be referring to the divorce of al-Battah, as some of them mentioned. And Abu Bakr al-Faqih informed us, I am Abu Muhammad bin Hayyan, and Abdurrahman bin Abi Hatim narrated to me that he heard Abu Zurah saying, the meaning of this hadith, according to me, is that what you are divorcing is three, they used to divorce one during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and Umar. And Abu Yahya al-Saji went to the interpretation that when he said to al-Bikr, you are divorced, you are divorced, you are divorced, it was counted as one. So Umar made it stricter for them and made it three. The Shaykh said, and the narration of Ayoub al-Sakhtiyani indicates the validity of this interpretation.

[Machine] They made it one during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and the early years of Umar's caliphate. Ibn Abbas said, "Indeed, when a man divorced his wife three times before having sexual intercourse with her, they used to consider it one divorce during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and the early years of Umar's caliphate. But when people started increasing in this practice, he said, 'Allow them to be divorced three times.' The sheikh said, 'It is similar to the case where a man intends to divorce his wife three times in succession. Jabir ibn Yazid narrated from Sha'bi, who narrated from Ibn Abbas about a man who divorced his wife three times before having sexual intercourse with her. He said, 'There was a knot in his hand that he would send it to her all at once. But if it was divorced three times in succession, then it is nothing.' Sufyan Ath-Thawri said, 'In succession means that you are divorced, you are divorced, and you are divorced. Because the first one is clear, but the second and third have no effect.' And it has been narrated from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, that it does not indicate anything."  

جَعَلُوهَا وَاحِدَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ إِمَارَةِ عُمَرَ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ بَلَى كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا جَعَلُوهَا وَاحِدَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ إِمَارَةِ عُمَرَ ؓ فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَى النَّاسَ قَدْ تَتَابَعُوا فِيهَا قَالَ أَجِيزُوهُنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَيُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَرَادَ إِذَا طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا تَتْرَى رَوَى جَابِرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ فِي رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا قَالَ عُقْدَةٌ كَانَتْ بِيَدِهِ أَرْسَلَهَا جَمِيعًا وَإِذَا كَانَتْ تَتْرَى فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ تَتْرَى يَعْنِي أَنْتِ طَالِقٌ أَنْتِ طَالِقٌ أَنْتِ طَالِقٌ فَإِنَّهَا تَبِينُ بِالْأُولَى وَالثِّنْتَانِ لَيْسَتَا بِشَيْءٍ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا دَلَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ  

Abd Yazid, the father of Rukanah and his brothers, divorced Umm Rukanah and married a woman of the tribe of Muzaynah. She went to the Prophet ﷺ and said: He is of no use to me except that he is as useful to me as a hair; and she took a hair from her head. So separate me from him. The Prophet ﷺ became furious. He called on Rukanah and his brothers. He then said to those who were sitting beside him. Do you see so-and-so who resembles Abdu Yazid in respect of so-and-so; and so-and-so who resembles him in respect of so-and-so? They replied: Yes. The Prophet ﷺ said to Abdu Yazid: Divorce her. Then he did so. He said: Take your wife, the mother of Rukanah and his brothers, back in marriage. He said: I have divorced her by three pronouncements, Messenger of Allah. He said: I know: take her back. He then recited the verse: "O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them at their appointed periods." Abu Dawud said: The tradition narrated by Nafi' b. 'Ujair and 'Abd Allah b. Yazid b. Rukanah from his father on the authority of his grandfather reads: Rukanah divorced his wife absolutely (i.e. irrevocable divorce). The Prophet ﷺ restored her to him. This version is sounder (than other versions), for they (i.e. these narrators) are the children of his man, and the members of the family are more aware of his case. Rukanah divorced his wife absolutely (i.e. three divorces in one pronouncement) and the Prophet ﷺ made it a single divorce. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2196)   

بَنِي أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ قَالَ طَلَّقَ عَبْدُ يَزِيدَ أَبُو رُكَانَةَ وَإِخْوَتُهُ أُمَّ رُكَانَةَ وَنَكَحَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ فَجَاءَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ مَا يُغْنِي عَنِّي إِلَّا كَمَا تُغْنِي هَذِهِ الشَّعَرَةُ لِشَعْرَةٍ أَخَذَتْهَا مِنْ رَأْسِهَا فَفَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَأَخَذَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حَمِيَّةٌ فَدَعَا بِرُكَانَةَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِجُلَسَائِهِ أَتَرَوْنَ فُلَانًا يُشْبِهُ مِنْهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنْ عَبْدِ يَزِيدَ وَفُلَانًا مِنْهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِعَبْدِ يَزِيدَ طَلِّقْهَا فَفَعَلَ قَالَ رَاجِعِ امْرَأَتَكَ أُمَّ رُكَانَةَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي طَلَّقْتُهَا ثَلَاثًا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ رَاجِعْهَا وَتَلَا {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ} [الطلاق 1] قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ حَدِيثُ نَافِعِ بْنِ عُجَيْرٍ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رُكَانَةَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ الْبَتَّةَ فَرَدَّهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَصَحُّ لِأَنَّهُمْ وَلَدُ الرَّجُلِ وَأَهْلُهُ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ أَنَّ رُكَانَةَ إِنَّمَا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ الْبَتَّةَ فَجَعَلَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَاحِدَةً قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ  

[Machine] His wife was divorced by him three times in one sitting. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt extreme sadness for her and asked him, "How did you divorce her?" He replied, "I divorced her three times." The Prophet asked, "All in one sitting?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet then said, "This counts as one divorce, so if you wish, take her back." Ibn Abbas believed that divorce is counted for every period of purity, and this is the Sunnah that people were following and that Allah commanded, "Then, when they have reached their term, take them back in kindness or part with them in kindness." [Quran 65:1]. Abu Bakr ibn Al-Harith narrated to us, from Abu Muhammad ibn Hayyan, from Muslim ibn Asam, from Abdullah ibn Saad, from his paternal uncle, from his father, from Ibn Ishaq, that Dawud ibn Al-Husayn mentioned it. This chain of narration is not reliable, as it cannot be justified with the presence of eight narrators who narrated from Ibn Abbas differing from this, as well as the narration of the children of Rukana that her divorce was counted as one. And with Allah is the success.  

امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَاحِدٍ فَحَزِنَ عَلَيْهَا حُزْنًا شَدِيدًا فَسَأَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ طَلَّقْتَهَا؟ قَالَ طَلَّقْتُهَا ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَاحِدٍ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّمَا تِلْكَ وَاحِدَةٌ فَارْجِعْهَا إِنْ شِئْتَ فَرَاجَعَهَا فَكَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ يَرَى إِنَّمَا الطَّلَاقُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ طُهْرٍ فَتِلْكَ السُّنَّةُ الَّتِي كَانَ عَلَيْهَا النَّاسُ وَالَّتِي أَمَرَ اللهُ لَهَا {فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ} [الطلاق 1] أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ حَيَّانَ نا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ عِصَامٍ نا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ نا عَمِّي نا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ فَذَكَرَهُ وَهَذَا الْإِسْنَادُ لَا تَقُومُ بِهِ الْحُجَّةُ مَعَ ثَمَانِيَةٍ رَوَوْا عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ فُتْيَاهُ بِخِلَافِ ذَلِكَ وَمَعَ رِوَايَةِ أَوْلَادِ رُكَانَةَ أَنَّ طَلَاقَ رُكَانَةَ كَانَ وَاحِدَةً وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ  

[Machine] "So I went to him and knocked on the door, and an old man came out. I said to him, 'How did you hear Ali ibn Abi Talib say that if a man divorces his wife three times in one sitting, she is only allowed to marry someone else?' He said, 'I heard Ali ibn Abi Talib say that if a man divorces his wife three times in one sitting, she is not permissible for him until she marries another husband.' I said to him, 'Where did you hear this from Ali?' He said, 'I will bring you a book.' So he brought it and in it was written, 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This is what I heard Ali ibn Abi Talib say: If a man divorces his wife three times in one sitting, she is not permissible for him until she marries another husband.' I said, 'Woe to you! This is not what you said!' He said, 'The correct statement is this, but they wanted to make me say otherwise.'"  

فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَرَعْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْبَابَ فَخَرَجَ إِلِيَّ شَيْخٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ يَقُولُ فِيمَنْ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَاحِدٍ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ يَقُولُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ رَجُلٌ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَاحِدٍ فَإِنَّهُ يُرَدُّ إِلَى وَاحِدَةٍ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَيْنَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ؟ قَالَ أُخْرِجُ إِلَيْكَ كِتَابًا فَأَخْرَجَ فَإِذَا فِيهِ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَذَا مَا سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ يَقُولُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ وَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَيْحَكَ هَذَا غَيْرُ الَّذِي تَقُولُ قَالَ الصَّحِيحُ هُوَ هَذَا وَلَكِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَرَادُونِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "Whoever divorces three times out of ignorance should be returned to the Sunnah, making it one, and they should be prevented from doing so. Ma'adh Allah, this is not from our saying. Whoever divorces three times, then he is as he said."  

أَنَّ مَنْ طَلَّقَ ثَلَاثًا بِجَهَالَةٍ رُدَّ إِلَى السُّنَّةِ يَجْعَلُونَهَا وَاحِدَةً يَرْوُونَهَا عَنْكُمْ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللهِ مَا هَذَا مِنْ قَوْلِنِا مَنْ طَلَّقَ ثَلَاثًا فَهُوَ كَمَا قَالَ  

[Machine] I heard Ja'far ibn Muhammad say: "Whoever divorces his wife three times out of ignorance or knowledge, then it is clear that he has separated from her."  

سَمِعْتُ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ مَنْ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا بِجَهَالَةٍ أَوْ عِلْمٍ فَقَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ
