2199. It was reported from Ayyūb and others, from Tāwūs, that a man by the name of Abū Aṣ-Ṣaḥbā' would frequently ask Ibn 'Abbās questions. Once, he said: "Are you not aware of the fact that if a man divorced his wife thrice, before he consummated the marriage with her, they would consider it as one during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and Abū Bakr, and the early period of 'Umar?" Ibn 'Abbās replied: "Yes, they would consider that if a man divorced his wife thrice before he consummated the marriage with her, it would be counted as one during the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and Abū Bakr, and the early period of 'Umar. But when they saw people doing this (frequently), he said: 'Consider it all upon them.'" (Da'if)
