Follow Islamic rulings regarding marriage and family matters ; Be mindful when making decisions ; Be aware of long-term effects ; Take caution with hasty actions .

This hadith talks about the ruling on divorce during the time of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). It states that when a man divorced his wife by three pronouncements before sexual intercourse with her it was considered as a single divorce. This ruling was in effect during the time of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) and Abu Bakr's caliphate and in early phase of Umar's caliphate. When people started to frequently use this method for divorcing their wives, Umar made it an operative rule for them. The main idea behind this hadith is that one should be careful while taking any decision related to marriage or divorce because it has long-term effects on both parties involved. It also teaches us to be mindful while making decisions so that we don't have to regret later on due to our hasty actions.
