Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about a man who has a wife and gives her three divorces; after that another man marries that woman and divorces her before consummating the marriage with her: will that woman become lawful for her first husband? The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, not until the second husband tastes her honey as the first tasted it, and the woman tastes the man's honey."
Ahmad, al-Bazzar and Abu Ya'la recorded it, though he (Abu Ya'la) reported these words: "The second husband died before consummating the marriage with her."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for Muhammad bin Dinar al-Tahi, whose case is different. Abu Hatim, Abu Zur'ah and Ibn Hibban declared him thiqah (trustworthy), and the criticism made of him is not harmful.
