Mujahid narrates: One day I was sitting with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them). A man came to him and said: O Abu Abbas! I have given my wife three divorces. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: You have disobeyed your Lord and your wife has become unlawful for you. You do not fear Allah, otherwise He would have made a way out for you. You acted foolishly when giving divorce and now you say, O Abu Abbas. Allah Almighty has said: "O Prophet! When you divorce women, divorce them for their waiting period (i.e., at the beginning of their waiting period)." The same narration is also transmitted with another chain of narration.
