3457. It was narrated from 'Umar bin Mu'attib that Abû Hasan, the freed slave of Banu Nawfal, said: "My wife and I were slaves, and I divorced her twice, then we were both set free. I asked Ibn 'Abbâs and he said: 'If you take her back, you have two divorces left. This is how the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ ruled.'" (Da'if) Ma'mar contradicted him.[1]
3427 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُعَتِّبٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا حَسَنٍ، مَوْلَى بَنِي نَوْفَلٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَنَا وَامْرَأَتِي مَمْلُوكَيْنِ، فَطَلَّقْتُهَا تَطْلِيقَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ أُعْتِقْنَا جَمِيعًا، فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، فَقَالَ: «إِنْ رَاجَعْتَهَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَكَ عَلَى وَاحِدَةٍ، قَضَى بِذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ» خَالَفَهُ مَعْمَرٌ "

A free man has three pronouncements of divorce, but a slave has two. The transmitter of this Hadīth had already given two divorces when he was still a slave. But both of them were freed during the period of waiting. The freedom invested him with the right to the third pronouncement of divorce. Hence, he had the privilege of returning and contracting a new marriage upon the expiration of the period of waiting.
