[Machine] That Rukanah bin Abd Yazeed divorced his wife Suhaymah al-Batta, then he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I have divorced my wife Suhaymah al-Batta, and by Allah, I only intended to divorce her once." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned her to him. Then he divorced her a second time during the time of Umar, and a third time during the time of Uthman. This narration has been verified as authentic because Imam Shafi'i has mastered and memorized it from the Ahl al-Bayt (family of the Prophet). As-Sa'ib bin Abd Yazeed, the father of Shafi'i bin As-Sa'ib, is the brother of Rukanah bin Abd Yazeed. Muhammad bin Ali bin Shafi'i, the uncle of Shafi'i, is the prominent scholar of the Quraysh tribe during his time. Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.
أَنَّ رُكَانَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ يَزِيدَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ سُهَيْمَةَ الْبَتَّةَ ثُمَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِي سُهَيْمَةَ الْبَتَّةَ وَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَدْتُ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً «فَرَدَّهَا إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ» فَطَلَّقَهَا الثَّانِيَةَ فِي زَمَنِ عُمَرَ وَالثَّالِثَةَ فِي زَمَنِ عُثْمَانَ «قَدْ صَحَّ الْحَدِيثُ بِهَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ الشَّافِعِيَّ قَدْ أَتْقَنَهُ وَحَفِظَهُ عَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَالسَّائِبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ يَزِيدَ أَبُو الشَّافِعِ بْنُ السَّائِبِ وَهُوَ أَخُو رُكَانَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَزِيدَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَافِعٍ عَمُّ الشَّافِعِيِّ شَيْخُ قُرَيْشٍ فِي عَصْرِهِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
