1118. 'Aīshah narrated: "The wife of Rifā'ah Al-Qurzī came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'I was with Rifā'ah and he divorced
me irrevocably. Then I married 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Az-Zubair, but he only has the likes of the fringe of a garment.'[1] So he said: 'Perhaps you want to return to Rifā'ah? No, not until you taste his sweetness and he tastes your sweetness.'[2] (Sahih)
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar, Anas, Ar-Rumaiṣā' or Al-Ghumaiṣā', and Abū Hurairah.
(Abū 'Eisā said:) The Hadīth of 'Aishah is a Hasan Ṣahih Hadīth. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge in general among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. When a man divorces his wife three times then she marries a different husband and he divorces her before having entered into her, then she is not lawful to the first husband to marry while she has not had intercourse with the second one.

Commentary
According to the Four A'immah and religious scholars, if the second husband without having sexual intercourse, divorces her, it is not lawful to marry the first husband. According to Sa'eed bin Musayyab, if a woman had married in a legal way, to live with the second husband, and not just to fulfill the condition of the second husband to marry the first husband again, and the second husband divorced her without having sexual intercourse, she can marry the first husband, but this point of view is against the Hadīth. He might not have heard this narration.
