It is narrated from Dawud bin Ibrahim bin Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah have mercy on him): One of my forefathers gave his wife a thousand divorces. Then his sons came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your father did not fear Allah, so that He would make a way out for him, as the divine word says: 'And whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out' (Surah al-Talaq: 2). That woman has been separated from him by three divorces alone, and all the remaining divorces are sheer transgression and wrongdoing; this man has made a mockery of the verses of Allah, whereas Allah Almighty says: 'And do not take the verses of Allah in jest' (Surah al-Baqarah: 231)."
