[3675] 17 - (...) It was narrated from Ṭawūs that Abū Aṣ-Ṣahbā’ said to Ibn ‘Abbās: “Tell us of something interesting that you know. Wasn’t the threefold divorce counted as one at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and Abū Bakr?” He said: “That was so, then at the time of ‘Umar the people began to issue divorces frequently, so he made it binding upon them.”
