Giving three divorces at once explained
Hadith 642
اَخْبَرَنَا سُلَیْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَیْدٍ، عَنْ اَیُّوْبَ السَّخْتِیَانِیِّ، عَنْ اِبْرَاهِیْمَ بْنِ مَسْیَرَةَ، عَنْ طَاؤُوْسٍ، اَنَّ اَبَا الصَّهْبَاءِ، قَالَ لِاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: هَاتِ مِنْ هَنَاتِكَ، اَلَمْ یَکُنْ طَلَاقُ الثَّلَاثِ عَلٰی عَهْدِ رَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَاَبِیْ بَکْرٍ وَاحِدَةً، قَدْ کَانَ ذَاكَ، فَلَمَّا کَانَ فِیْ عَهْدِ عُمَرَ تَتَابَعَ النَّاسُ فِی الطَّلَاقِ، فَاَجَازَهٗ عَلَیْهِمْ۔.
It is narrated from Tawoos (may Allah have mercy on him) that Abu As-Sahba said to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): Present something from your words—were not three divorces counted as one during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)? The matter was like that. When the era of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, people began to give divorce without thinking, so he enforced it upon them.
