[Machine] A man from the people of the desert divorced his wife three times before consummating the marriage. What do you see in this? Ibn Zubair said, "This is a matter that we have no say in. Go to Ibn Abbas and Abu Hurairah because I left them with Aisha. Ask them and then come back and inform us." So he went and asked them. Ibn Abbas said to Abu Hurairah, "Advise him, O Abu Hurairah, for he has come to you with a difficult matter." Abu Hurairah said, "The first divorce makes it clear that the divorce is valid, and the three divorces make it prohibited for her to marry him again until she marries someone else." Ibn Abbas said, "The same is true."
رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَمَاذَا تَرَيَانِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ إِنَّ هَذَا لَأَمْرٌ مَا لَنَا فِيهِ قَوْلٌ اذْهَبْ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَإِنِّي تَرَكْتُهُمَا عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ ؓ فَسَلْهُمَا ثُمَّ ائْتِنَا فَأَخْبِرْنَا فَذَهَبَ فَسَأَلَهُمَا قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَفْتِهِ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَدْ جَاءَتْكَ مُعْضِلَةٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ الْوَاحِدَةُ تُبِينُهَا وَالثَّلَاثُ تُحَرِّمُهَا حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَيْرَهُ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
