It is narrated from Abu Bakr bin Hazm that Umar bin Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him, asked: What do people say about the irrevocable divorce (batta)? Abu Bakr said: Aban bin Uthman considered it as one divorce. Umar bin Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If divorce were valid up to a thousand, then batta would not leave anything remaining from it; whoever says batta has reached the limit.
