Hammad ibn Zayd said: I asked Ayyub: Do you know anyone who narrates the tradition narrated by Al-Hasan about uttering the words (addressing wife). "Your matter is in your hand"? He replied: No, except something similar transmitted by Qatadah from Kathir, the client of Samurah, from Abu Salamah on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . Ayyub said: Kathir then came to us; so I asked him (about this matter). He replied: I never narrated it. I mentioned it to Qatadah who said: Yes (he narrated it) but he forgot.

Qatadah reported on the authority of Al Hasan the uttering of the words“Your matter is in your hand”amounts to three pronouncements of divorce.
