Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُعَتِّبٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا حَسَنٍ، مَوْلَى بَنِي نَوْفَلٍ أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَامْرَأَتِي، مَمْلُوكَيْنِ فَطَلَّقْتُهَا تَطْلِيقَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أُعْتِقْنَا جَمِيعًا فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ إِنْ رَاجَعْتَهَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَكَ عَلَى وَاحِدَةٍ قَضَى بِذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ خَالَفَهُ مَعْمَرٌ ‏.‏

Translation

Amr bin Ali informed us; he said: I heard Yahya say: Ali bin al-Mubarak narrated to us; Yahya bin Abi Kathir narrated to us, from Umar bin Mu'attib, that Abu Hasan, the client of Banu Nawfal, informed him: He said, ‘My wife and I were both enslaved. I divorced her twice, then we were both freed. I asked Ibn Abbas, and he said, “If you take her back, she will be with you with one (divorce) remaining.” The Messenger of Allah ruled accordingly.’ Ma'mar contradicted him.
