Bayhaqi 14934 — It is preferable for the husband to pronounce only one
قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: لِتَكُونَ لَهُ الرَّجْعَةُ فِي الْمَدْخُولِ بِهَا وَيَكُونَ خَاطِبًا فِي غَيْرِ الْمَدْخُولِ بِهَا وَمَتَى نُكِحَتْ بَقِيَتْ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا اثْنَتَانِ مِنَ الطَّلَاقِ، وَلَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَلَا ثَلَاثًا لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ أَبَاحَ الطَّلَاقَ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَمَا أَبَاحَ فَلَيْسَ بِمَحْظُورٍ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَّمَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا مَوْضِعَ الطَّلَاقِ، وَلَوْ كَانَ فِي عَدَدِ الطَّلَاقِ مُبَاحٌ وَمَحْظُورٌ عَلَّمَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ إِيَّاهُ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "(Let him give one divorce) so that he retains the right to take back the woman with whom the marriage has been consummated, and, in the case of one with whom it has not been consummated, he can (again) be a suitor proposing to her; and whenever she is married (to him again), two divorces will remain for him over her.
And it is not unlawful for him to give two or three divorces, because Allah Almighty, glorified be His praise, has made divorce permissible for those entitled to it, and what He has made permissible is not forbidden to those entitled to it; and (also) because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) the (correct) time for divorce, and if some numbers of divorce were permissible and some forbidden, he (peace and blessings be upon him), Allah willing, would certainly have taught him that as well."

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، أنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، نا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَا: نا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، مَوْلَى آلِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " مُرْهُ فَلْيُرَاجِعْهَا ثُمَّ لِيُطَلِّقْهَا إِذَا طَهُرَتْ أَوْ وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ. وَاحْتَجَّ الشَّافِعِيُّ أَيْضًا بِمَا ⦗٥٣٨⦘.
Salim narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he divorced his wife while she was menstruating, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Order him to take her back, then to divorce her when she is pure or pregnant."
