حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ وَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُوئٍ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَهُنَّ أَنْ يَکْتُمْنَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ فِي أَرْحَامِهِنَّ الْآيَةَ وَذَلِکَ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ کَانَ إِذَا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِرَجْعَتِهَا وَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَنُسِخَ ذَلِکَ وَقَالَ الطَّلَاقُ مَرَّتَانِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2187
Narrated Umar ibn Mutab: Abu Hasan, a client of Banu Nawfal asked Ibn Abbas: A slave had a wife who was a slave-girl. He divorced her by two pronouncements. Afterwards both of them were freed. Is it permissible for him to ask her in marriage again? He said: Yes. This is a decision given by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
