It is narrated from Waqi' bin Sahban that a man came to Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was sitting in the mosque, and asked: What is the ruling on a man who gave his wife three divorces in a single sitting? He replied: "A sin has become binding upon him, and his wife has become unlawful for him (because of the irrevocable divorce)." The man left and mentioned this (with the intention of criticising it) to Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "May Allah Almighty increase among us people of insight like Abu Nujayd (Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn)."
