Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from al-Qasim
ibn Muhammad that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said when asked whether it was permissible for a
man to marry again a wife he had divorced irrevocably if she had
married another man who divorced her before consummating the marriage,
"Not until she has tasted the sweetness of intercourse."
Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 19

Yahya related to me from Malik from al-Miswar ibn Rifaa al-
Quradhi from az-Zubayr ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn az-Zubayr that Rifaa ibn
Simwal divorced his wife, Tamima bint Wahb, in the time of the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, three
times. Then she married Abd ar-Rahman ibn az-Zubayr and he turned from
her and could not consummate the marriage and so he parted from her.
Rifaa wanted to marry her again and it was mentioned to the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he forbade him
to marry her. He said, "She is not halal for you until she has tasted
the sweetness of intercourse."
