Hazrat Antarah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I was sitting with Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) when a man came to him and said, "O Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them)! I have given my wife a hundred divorces, I pronounced them in a single statement. Has she become separated from me through three divorces, even though it was in one utterance?" He replied, "She has become separated from you through three divorces, and you bear the sin of ninety-seven divorces."
