بَابُ الْأَشْهَادِ عَلَيْهَا وَبِمَا تَحِلُّ الْمُطَلَّقَةُ ثَلَاثًا لِزَوْجِهَا الْأَوَّلِ
Chapter: Witnesses to It and When a Woman Divorced Three Times Becomes Permissible for Her First Husband
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 7182 — Witnesses to It and When a Woman Divorced
عَنْ عَطَاءِ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا نَحْوَهُ وَزَادَ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْهُ بَعْدُ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنْ قَدْ مَسَّهَا فَمَنَعَهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا الْأَوَّلِ وَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ إِيمَانُهُ أَنْ يُحِلَّهَا لِرِفَاعَةَ فَلَا يَتِمُّ لَهُ نِكَاحُهَا مَرَّةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ أَتَتْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فِي خِلَافَتِهِمَا فَمَنَعَاهَا كِلَاهُمَا
A similar hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), except that it contains these additional words: Then that woman again came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that her husband had intercourse with her, but even then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade her from returning to her first husband, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed: O Allah! If the intention of this woman is only to make herself lawful for Rifa’ah, then do not let her second marriage be fulfilled. Afterwards, during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq and Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them both), the woman came to them (for the same purpose), and both of them also forbade her.
