حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ أَنَّ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرِّشْکِ عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ سُئِلَ عَنْ الرَّجُلِ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ ثُمَّ يَقَعُ بِهَا وَلَمْ يُشْهِدْ عَلَی طَلَاقِهَا وَلَا عَلَی رَجْعَتِهَا فَقَالَ طَلَّقْتَ لِغَيْرِ سُنَّةٍ وَرَاجَعْتَ لِغَيْرِ سُنَّةٍ أَشْهِدْ عَلَی طَلَاقِهَا وَعَلَی رَجْعَتِهَا وَلَا تَعُدْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2186
Narrated Mutarrif ibn Abdullah: Imran ibn Husayn was asked about a person who divorces his wife, and then has intercourse with her, but he does not call any witness to her divorce nor to her restoration. He said: You divorced against the sunnah and took her back against the sunnah. Call someone to bear witness to her divorce, and to her return in marriage, and do not repeat it.
