Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20357 — On His saying: "Divorce is twice
٢٠٣٥٧ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: نا شبابة عن ورقاء عن ابن أبي نجيح عن مجاهد ﴿الطَّلَاقُ مَرَّتَانِ فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ﴾، قال: يطلق الرجل امرأته طاهرًا (في) (١) غير جماع، فإذا حاضت ثم طهرت فقد تم (القرء) (٢)، ثم (طلق) (٣) (الثانية) (٤) كما (طلق) (٥) الأولى إن أحب أن يفعل، فإذا طلق (الثانية) (٦) ثم ⦗٤٩١⦘ حاضت الحيضة الثانية (٧) فهاتان تطليقتان وقرءان، ثم قال اللَّه تعالى للثالثة: ﴿الطَّلَاقُ مَرَّتَانِ فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ﴾ فيطلقها في ذلك القرء كله، إن شاء حين (تجمع) (٨) عليها ثيابها.
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him), explaining the verse of the Qur'an "Divorce is twice; then either retain [her] in kindness or release [her] with goodness" [Al-Baqarah: 229], said: A man should divorce his wife in a state of purity in which he has not had intercourse with her. Then, when she menstruates and then becomes pure, one menstrual cycle (qur') is complete. Then he gives her the second divorce in the same way as he gave the first, if he wants to do so. Then, when he has given the second divorce and she has her second menstruation, these are two divorces and two cycles. Then Allah Almighty says regarding the third divorce: "Then either retain [her] in kindness or release [her] with goodness." So, if he wishes, he may divorce her at any point in that whole cycle, at the time when she gathers her clothes about her.
