Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Al-Hasan, who was a freed slave of Banu Naufal, narrates that both my wife and I were slaves. I gave my wife two divorces. After giving the divorces, both of us were set free. Then I intended to reconcile with my wife, and regarding this reconciliation, I went to Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) to seek a fatwa. He said: If you reconcile with her, you will have the right to one divorce, and the right to two divorces has ended, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made a decision in this manner.
