A man divorced his wife by three pronouncements and another man married her and divorced her before cohabiting with her. Then, her first husband intended to remarry her and asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about that. He said, "No, until the other one (second husband) has enjoyed sexual intercourse with her as the first (husband) had." [Agreed upon; the wording is Muslim's].

Narrated Zaid bin Ka'b bin 'Ujrah (RA) on his father's authority:

'Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) married al-'Aaliyah of Banu Ghifar. When she entered in his presence and he removed her clothes, he saw whiteness (of leprosy) around her waist area and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Put on your clothes and return to your family." He ordered her dowry to be given to her. [Reported by al-Hakim]. In its chain of narrators, is Jamil bin Zaid, who is Majhul (an unaccredited narrator).
