Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Abd Yazid, the father of Rukanah and his brothers, divorced Umm Rukanah and married a woman of the tribe of Muzaynah. She went to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and said: He is of no use to me except that he is as useful to me as a hair; and she took a hair from her head. So separate me from him. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم became furious. He called on Rukanah and his brothers. He then said to those who were sitting beside him. Do you see so-and-so who resembles Abdu Yazid in respect of so-and-so; and so-and-so who resembles him in respect of so-and-so? They replied: Yes. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to Abdu Yazid: Divorce her. Then he did so. He said: Take your wife, the mother of Rukanah and his brothers, back in marriage. He said: I have divorced her by three pronouncements, Messenger of Allah. He said: I know: take her back. He then recited the verse: O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them at their appointed periods. Abu Dawud said: The tradition narrated by Nafi bin 'Ujair and Abdullah bin Yazid bin Rukanah from his father on the authority of his grandfather reads: Rukanah divorced his wife absolutely (i. e. irrevocable divorce). The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم restored her to him. This version is sounder (than other versions), for they (i. e. these narrators) are the children of his man, and the members of the family are more aware of his case. Rukanah divorced his wife absolutely (i. e. three divorces in one pronouncement) and the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم made it a single divorce.
