Bayhaqi 14950 — Reports on enforcing three divorces even if pronounced

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْجُنَيْدِ، نا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ، نا يَعْلَى بْنُ شَبِيبٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، نا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: " كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ مَا شَاءَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا وَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا مِائَةً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ إِذَا ارْتَجَعَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا حَتَّى قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: وَاللهِ لَا أُطَلِّقُكِ فَتَبِينِي مِنِّي، وَلَا أُؤْوِيكِ إِلِيَّ، قَالَتْ: وَكَيْفَ ذَاكَ، قَالَ: أُطَلِّقُكِ فَكُلَّمَا هَمَّتْ عِدَّتُكِ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ ارْتَجَعْتُكِ ثُمَّ أُطَلِّقُكِ وَأَفْعَلُ هَكَذَا فَشَكَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا فَذَكَرَتْ عَائِشَةُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَكَتَ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا حَتَّى نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ: {الطَّلَاقُ مَرَّتَانِ فَإِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ} [البقرة: ٢٢٩] فَاسْتَأْنَفَ النَّاسُ الطَّلَاقَ مَنْ شَاءَ طَلَّقَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يُطَلِّقْ " وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَالْحُمَيْدِيُّ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ شَبِيبٍ وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَرُوِيَ نُزُولُ الْآيَةِ فِيهِ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا.
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: A man would divorce his wife whenever he wished, even if it was a hundred or more times. When he took his wife back before the waiting period ended, he would say to her: I will neither divorce you so that you become separate from me, nor give you a place with me. The woman said: How is that? He would say: I will divorce you, and when your waiting period is about to end, I will take you back, then I will divorce you, and I will keep doing this. That woman complained to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent and said nothing until this verse was revealed: "Divorce is twice; then either retain her in an acceptable manner or release her with kindness." [Surah al-Baqarah: 229] So people began divorce afresh: whoever wished would divorce, and whoever wished would not divorce.
