Hazrat Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A woman said to her husband, "I forgo my dower if you divorce me." The husband said, "Bring witnesses." The woman said the same. The husband gave one divorce. The woman said, "No, not until you give three divorces." The husband then gave three divorces. Afterwards, she began to demand her dower back. When the matter reached Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him), those present said, "Your wife has been separated from you and you have also lost your wealth." Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "If you think this, then Islam has become narrower than the edge of a sword." Then Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said to the husband, "Your wife is not lawful for you until she marries another, but you will get your dower back."
