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 Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “I swear by Allaah that I meant it to be only a single divorce. The Apostle of Allaah 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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2206)
أَنَّ رُكَانَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ يَزِيدَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِيَ الْبَتَّةَ وَاللهِ مَا أَرَدْتُ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَرَدْتَ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً؟ فَقَالَ رُكَانَةُ وَاللهِ مَا أَرَدْتُ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً فَرَدَّهَا إِلَيْهِ
