Ali ibn Nasr ibn Ali reported on the authority of Sulyman ibn Harb on the authority of Hammad ibn Zayd that he said to Ayyub, “Do you know of anyone besides Hasan who said that a man’s saying to his wife, ‘Your affairs are in your hands’ implied three pronouncements of divorce?’ He said, “None, except Hasan.” Then he said, “0 Allah, forgive! Only that Qatadah narrated to me from Kathir, the freedman of Banu Samurah, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet that he said that three divorces were (thus) effective.” So Ayyub said further, “1 met Kathir, the freedman of Banu Samurah and asked him but he did not know it, so I returned to Qatadah and informed him of it, and he said that (Kathir) had forgotten.’
