Commentary
a. The narration of Sahih Muslim clarifies that Abu 'Amr bin Hafs bin Mughirah Makhzumi, the husband of Fātimah, the daughter of Qais, had already divorced her twice, and he sent her the third and the final divorce
from Yemen, through 'Aiyâsh bin Abu Rabî'ah. He did not divorce her with three pronouncements at a time in one session. (Sahih Muslim: 1480).
b. As divorce can be given directly to the wife, likewise the message of divorce may also be sent through a reliable person, and may be sent as a written divorce; divorce can take place in any mentioned form.
