Chapter 13 · Divorce (Kitab Al-Talaq)حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا يُقَالُ لَهُ: أَبُو الصَّهْبَاءِ، كَانَ كَثِيرَ السُّؤَالِ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ كَانَ إِذَا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا، جَعَلُوهَا وَاحِدَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ إِمَارَةِ عُمَرَ ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: بَلَى، كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا، جَعَلُوهَا وَاحِدَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ إِمَارَةِ عُمَرَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّاسَ قَدْ تَتَابَعُوا فِيهَا، قَالَ: أَجِيزُوهُنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ .

A man called Abu Al Sahba used to ask Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما questions frequently. He asked “Do you know that when a man divorced his wife by three pronouncement before sexual intercourse with her, they (the people) made it a single divorce during the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, of Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ and in the early phase of the caliphate of Umar?” Ibn “Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما said “Yes, when a man divorced his wife by three pronouncement before sexual intercourse they made it a single divorce during the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, of Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ and in the early phase of the caliphate of Umar رضی اللہ عنہ. When he saw that the people frequently divorced (by three pronouncements) he said “Make them operative on them (i.e., on women)”.
