Muhammad bin Iyas bin Bukair said: A man gave his wife three divorces before consummation, then he wanted to marry her again, so he went to ask about the matter, and I went with him. He asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with them. Both said: It is not permissible for you to marry this woman until she marries another man. The man said: With one divorce, the woman became separated (bain) from me. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: You have lost your right by your own hand.
