Bayhaqi 14937 — It is preferable for the husband to pronounce only one

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ نا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ الْأَخْرَمِ نا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، نا مُسَدَّدٌ، نا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَجُلًا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَطَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا فَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَحِلُّ لِلْأَوَّلِ؟ قَالَ: " لَا حَتَّى يَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَهَا كَمَا ذَاقَ الْأَوَّلُ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ بُنْدَارٍ، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانِ، قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَطَلَّقَ رُكَانَةُ امْرَأَتَهُ الْبَتَّةَ وَهِيَ تَحْتَمِلُ وَاحِدَةً وَتَحْتَمِلُ الثَّلَاثَ فَسَأَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ نِيَّتِهِ وَأَحْلَفَهُ عَلَيْهَا، وَلَمْ نَعْلَمْهُ نَهَى أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ الْبَتَّةَ يُرِيدُ بِهَا ثَلَاثًا، وَطَلَّقَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثًا.
Al-Qasim narrates from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man gave his wife three divorces; then another man married that woman and divorced her before having intercourse with her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: Is this woman lawful for the first husband? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, not until the second husband tastes her sweetness as the first one tasted it."
Note: Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Rukanah (may Allah be pleased with him) gave his wife a battah (irrevocable) divorce, which could mean one or three divorces, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him about his intention and made him swear to it; and we do not know that he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade three divorces. And Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) gave his wife three divorces.
