3432. Fāṭimah bint Qais said: "I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I am the daughter of Āli Khālid and my husband, so and so, sent word to me divorcing me. I asked his family for provision and shelter but they refused.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, he sent word to her divorcing her thrice.'" She said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The woman is still entitled to provision and shelter if the husband can still take her back.'"[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
This narration has appeared in the book at various places. Some narrations say "He divorced me three times, some contain "He gave me an irrevocable ultimate divorce," while some have "He gave me the final divorce of three divorces". Hence, deriving legal ruling about the permissibility of giving a threefold divorce simultaneously from this narration is not right, because by putting together all the narrations, it emerges that her husband had conveyed the third divorce. Two divorces he had already used earlier. See Hadith 3224.
