It is narrated from Abu Hasan that he asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) about a slave whose wife is also a slave woman; he gives his wife two divorces, then both of them are set free. Is it permissible for him to send her a proposal for marriage now? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) replied: Yes, this is the decision that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Abu Hasan that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) was asked about a slave who had given his wife two divorces, then both of them became free, so can he marry that slave woman again? He replied: Yes. Someone asked: From whom are you narrating this? He said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave this very verdict. Abdullah bin Ahmad says: My father, Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), said: Ma'mar was asked: Who is this Abu Hasan? He has lifted a very heavy rock (i.e., he has said something baseless).

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Three types of people are exempt from accountability (i.e., free from punishment for sins): first, a minor child until he reaches maturity; second, a sleeping person until he wakes up; and third, an insane person until his mental balance is restored.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has pardoned my Ummah for (corrupt) thoughts and inner whispers that arise in their hearts, as long as they are not acted upon or spoken about.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Ghailan bin Salamah Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam, he had ten wives. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Select four wives from among them." During the era of Farooq (i.e., the caliphate of Umar), Sayyiduna Ghailan (may Allah be pleased with him) divorced all his wives and distributed all his wealth among his sons. When this news reached Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he summoned him and said: "I think that Satan, having heard the news of your death from the angels, has put this idea into your heart, and now perhaps only a little of your life remains. By Allah! Either you return to your wives and give them back their wealth, or I myself will make those wives your heirs and will order that your grave be stoned as the grave of Abu Righal was stoned."
