It is narrated from Tawoos (may Allah have mercy on him) that Abu As-Sahba said to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): "Do you not know that during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and for three years of the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), three divorces were counted as only one?" So Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) replied: "Yes."
