حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ
أَنَّ رَجُلاً طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلاَثًا فَتَزَوَّجَتْ فَطَلَّقَ فَسُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَتَحِلُّ لِلأَوَّلِ قَالَ لاَ حَتَّى يَذُوقَ عُسَيْلَتَهَا كَمَا ذَاقَ الأَوَّلُ

A man divorced his wife thrice (by expressing his decision to divorce her thrice), then she married another man who also divorced her. The Prophet ﷺ was asked if she could legally marry the first husband (or not). The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No, she cannot marry the first husband unless the second husband consummates his marriage with her, just as the first husband had done."
