Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 19415 — Those who said she returns to him

Raja' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Qabisah (may Allah have mercy on him): A man gave his wife one divorce and she became irrevocably separated from him; she completed her waiting period and married another man, who consummated the marriage with her, then he died or divorced her, and she went back to her first husband. With how many divorces will she return? He said: With the remaining divorces. I asked: If he then divorced her a second time and she became irrevocably separated, then she married another man, who consummated the marriage with her, then he died or divorced her, and she went back to her first husband, with how many divorces will she return? He said: With the remaining divorces. I said: He then divorced her again, and after her waiting period she married another man, who consummated the marriage with her and then divorced her or died, and this woman went back to her first husband; with how many divorces will she return? He said: With three divorces.
