The reciter: Ishaq ibn Ibrahim and Muhammad ibn Rafi' narrated to us, and the wording is that of Ibn Rafi'. Ishaq said: He informed us, and Ibn Rafi' said: He narrated to us from Abd al-Razzaq, who informed us from Ma'mar, from Ibn Tawus, from his father, from Ibn Abbas, who said: "During the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Bakr, and two years of the caliphate of 'Umar, a divorce of three was considered one divorce. Then 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: 'The people have hastened in a matter in which they used to be patient, so if we were to enforce it upon them, we would do so.' So he enforced it upon them."
