عَنْ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَسَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ، وَأَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمٰنِ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، وَابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ : إِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْمُطَلَّقَةُ فِي الدَّمِ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، فَقَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا، وَلَا مِيرَاثَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَا رَجْعَةَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا.
It reached Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that Qasim bin Muhammad, Salim bin Abdullah, Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman, Sulaiman bin Yasar, and Ibn Shihab used to say: When a divorced woman begins her third menstruation, she becomes separated (bain) from her husband, and the husband no longer has the right to take her back. Now, neither will inherit from the other.
