A similar hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), except that it contains these additional words: Then that woman again came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that her husband had intercourse with her, but even then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade her from returning to her first husband, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed: O Allah! If the intention of this woman is only to make herself lawful for Rifa’ah, then do not let her second marriage be fulfilled. Afterwards, during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq and Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them both), the woman came to them (for the same purpose), and both of them also forbade her.

Narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man gave his wife (three) divorces, she married another husband, he came to her, but his private part was like the fringe of a garment, he came near her only once and even then intercourse could not take place. That woman mentioned this matter to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Am I lawful for my first husband? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You cannot be lawful for your first husband until the second husband enjoys you and you enjoy him.
