Bayhaqi 14957 — Reports on enforcing three divorces even if pronounced

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ الْمُنَادِي، نا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، نا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، أَنَّ بَطَّالًا كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَطَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ أَلْفًا فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا كُنْتُ أَلْعَبُ فَعَلَاهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِالدِّرَّةِ وَقَالَ: " إِنْ كَانَ لَيَكْفِيكَ ثَلَاثٌ ".
Zayd bin Wahb (may Allah have mercy on him) says that there was an idle man in Madinah who gave his wife a thousand divorces. The matter reached Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and the man said: I was only joking. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) struck him with the whip and said: Three divorces would have been enough for you.
