It was narrated from Ibn Tawus, from his father, that Abu As-Sahba’ came to Ibn ‘Abbas and said: “Ibn ‘Abbas! Did you not know that the threefold divorce during the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and Abu Bakr, and during the early part of ‘Umar’s Caliphate, used to be counted as one divorce?” He said: “Yes.” (Sahih)
