Commentary
According to the Ahnāf enforcement and effectiveness of divorce depends on the wife's status, whether she is a free woman or a slave woman. If she is a slave woman, divorce will be effective with two divorces and she cannot marry her husband again until and unless she marries another person, and they have sexual relations. Her Iddah is two menstruating periods. The status of the male has no concern with it whether he is a free man or a slave. the Ahnāf bring forward this narration in their support. According to the other three A'immah, this narration is related to that slave woman whose husband is also a slave.
