Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates:“During the time of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and the first two years of the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), three (divorces) were counted as one.”Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“People were given ease in this matter, but they began to hasten in it. If we let (three divorces) continue (to be counted as three), it would be more appropriate.”So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) allowed (three divorces to be counted as three).
