Mujahid said “I was with Ibn Abbas”. A man came to him and said that he divorced his wife by three pronouncements. I kept silence and thought that he was going to restore het to him. He then said “A man goes and commits a foolish act and then says “O, Ibn Abbas! Alaah has said “And for those who fear Allaah, He (ever) prepares a way out. ” Since you did not keep duty to Allaah I do not find a way out for you. You disobeyed your Lord and your wife was separated from you. Allaah has said “O Prophet! When you divorce women divorce them in the beginning of their waiting period. ” Abu Dawud said “This tradition has been transmitted by Humaid Al A’raj and by others from Mujahid on the authority of Ibn Abbas. Shu’bjh narrated it from Amr bin Murrah from Saeed bin Jubair on the authority of Ibn Abbas. Ayyub and Ibn ‘Jubair both narrated it from “’Ikrimah bin Khalid from Saeed bin Jubair on the authority of Ibn Abbas. Ibn Juraij narrated it from Abd Al Hamid bin Rafi from Ata from Ibn Abbas. Al Amash narrated it from Malik bin Al Harith on the authority of Ibn Abbas. They all said about the divorce by three pronouncements. He allowed it and said” (Your wife) has been separated from you similar to the tradition narrated by Ismail from Ayub from Abd Allaah bin Kathir. ” Abu Dawud said “Hammad bin Zaid narrated it from Ayyub from Ikrimah on the authority of Ibn Abbas. This version adds If he said “You are divorced three times saying in one pronouncement, it constitutes a single (divorce). Ismail bin Ibrahim narrated it from Ayyub from Ikrimah. This is his (Ikrimah’s) statement. He did not mention the name of Ibn Abbas. He narrated it as a statement of Ikrimah. ”

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ said: A guardian has no concern with a woman previously married and has no husband, and an orphan girl (i. e. virgin) must be consulted, her silence being her acceptance.

Abu Dawud said “The opinion of Ibn Abbas has been mentioned in the following tradition. “Ahmad bin Salih and Muhammad bin Yahya narrated this is the version of Ahmad (bin Salih)” from Abd Ar Razzaq from Mamar from Al Zuhri from Abu Salamah din Abd Al Rahman bin Awf and Muhammad bin Abd Al Rahman bin Thawban from Muhammad bin Iyas that Ibn Abbas, Abu Hurairah and Abd Alah bin Amr bin Al ‘As were asked about a virgin who is divorced three times by her husband. They all said “She is not lawful for him until she marries a man other than her former husband. ”Abu Dawud said “Malik narrated from Yahya bin Saeed from Bukair bin Al Ashajj from Muawiyah bin Abi Ayyash who was present on this occasion when Muhammad bin Iyas bin Al Bukair came to Ibn Al Zubair and Asim in Umar. He asked them about this matter. They replied “Go to Ibn Abbas and Abu Hurairah, I have left them with Aishah (may Allaah be pleased with her). He then narrated the rest of the tradition. ” Abu Dawud said “The statement of Ibn Abbas goes “The divorce by three pronouncements separates the wife from husband whether the marriage has been consummated or not, the previous husband is not lawful for her until she marries a man other than her husband”. This statement is like the tradition which deals with the exchange of money. In this tradition the narrator said “Ibn Abbas withdrew his opinion. ”"
