3. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from al-Muthanna’ from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who divorces his wife in such a way that he cannot remarry her before her marriage with another man, then a slave marries and divorces her; if divorce is destroyed (restriction due to three divorces). He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, because of the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, in His book, “. . . until she marries a husband other than him.” (2:230) He (the Imam) said, ‘He is one of the husbands.’”
