Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20173 — Two men who swear by divorce over

Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: A man said to another, "You are very envious." The other said, "Whichever of us is more envious, his wife is divorced three times." The first said, "Agreed." What is the ruling on this? Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: You have both suffered loss and both erred; the wives of both of you have been divorced.
