Hadith 10:254
Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Abu Mu’awiyah narrated to us, from ‘Asim, from al-Sumayt ibn ‘Umayr al-Sadusi, who said: I proposed to a woman, and they said: "We will not marry you [to her] until you divorce your wife three times." I said: "I have divorced her three times." He said: So they married me [to her]. Then they looked and saw my wife with me. They said: "Have you not divorced your wife?" I said: "Rather, there was so-and-so, daughter of so-and-so, under me, and I divorced her; as for this one, I did not divorce her." So I went to Shaqiq ibn Mujza’ah ibn Thawr, and he was intending to go out to ‘Uthman, and I said: "Ask the Commander of the Faithful about this." So he asked him, and he said: "His intention [matters]."
