Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A vow is only valid regarding that in which Allah Almighty is obeyed; there is no validity to an oath concerning severing ties of kinship; and there is no validity to freeing or divorcing something which a person does not own."

Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Divorce can only be given after marriage, even if the woman's name is specifically mentioned." The narrator named Yazid bin 'Iyad is weak.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“There are three things in which seriousness is considered seriousness and joking is also considered seriousness: divorce, marriage, and taking back (i.e., taking back one’s wife after divorce).”

This narration is also transmitted with another chain of transmission.

Imam Zaid bin Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates from his forefathers: A man came to the service of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: "O Messenger of Allah! My mother mentioned to me a relative girl of mine, suggesting that I marry her. So I said: If I marry this woman, she will have three divorces (upon her). (What is the ruling now?)" The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Was she under your ownership before this?" He replied: "No." The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Then there is no harm." The narrator states: Then that man married that woman.

Ibrahim bin Ubaidullah narrates from his father, who reports from his grandfather: One of his elders gave his wife one thousand divorces. The children of that man came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Our father has given our mother one thousand divorces, is there any concession for them?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Your father did not fear Allah, otherwise he would have found a concession for her. That woman will be separated from that man due to three divorces, which are against the Sunnah, and the remaining nine hundred ninety-seven divorces will be a sin upon his neck." (Imam Daraqutni, may Allah have mercy on him, states) Our teacher Ibn Abdul Baqi (besides these two persons) all the narrators of this narration are unknown and weak.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) saying that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Mu'adh! Whoever gives one, two, or three divorces as an innovation (i.e., contrary to the Sunnah), We will make his innovation binding upon him." The narrator Isma'il bin Abu Umayyah Basri is abandoned in hadith.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard a person (or about a person) who pronounced divorce to his wife, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) became angry and said: "Do you people make a mockery of Allah’s verses (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words) and play with the commands of Allah’s religion? Whoever pronounces divorce, we will make his three divorces binding, and that woman will not be lawful for that man until she marries another (and then becomes widowed or divorced)." The narrator Ismail bin Abu Umayyah is a Kufan and is weak in hadith.

Habib bin Abu Thabit narrates: A man came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "I have given my wife one thousand divorces." Sayyiduna Ali said, "Three divorces have made her unlawful for you, and the remaining divorces you may distribute among your other wives."

Saeed bin Jubair and Mujahid narrate regarding Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): He was asked about a person who gives his wife divorces equal to the number of stars, so Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas said: "This person has acted against the Sunnah, and his wife has become unlawful for him."
