Hashim rejoined the Imam who admonished and advised him enough till he felt more remorseful and ashamed of his action.
Imam: Now what I will advise you is not to delay the revoke of your talaq and at the same time, I want you to give your wife little space to get over it abit instead of you meeting her now and she reacts womanly.
Hashim: Shaykh! May Allah bless and reward you, how would I revoke the talaq?!
Imam: Mashallah! You know the way to divorce but knows not the way out of it?!
Well! All you need to do is either revoke verbally or physically which niya must precede.
That is, you have to make the niya of revoking in your heart, then utter out that you are having her back preferably in the presence of two witnesses, and if you do it privately that's still ok. Or your touching or having an affair with her after the niya stand also as the physical revoke inshallah.
These both must occur before she ends her 3 menstural cycles, or put to bed if she is pregnant which I'm sure none will happen before things return to a better state than it was inshallah.
Hashim curiously : But ya shyakh, must the talaq I pronounced be counted sofar I did at the state of anger?!
Imam giggle with a smile: hmmm!! Anger you said? If anyone claims he was angry when he issued his talaq then divorce will be taken for play dear brother and pronounced as many times as one want sofar one was angry. However, the anger Islam refers to is that stage the man couldn't control himself and almost lost his consciousness while uttering it, which I'm sure wasn't the Case with you. In that regard, your talaq is valid which serves as a red light warning for you in future.
(sigh) Learn to have trust for your wife brother Hashim, be tolerant and make verification wisely before you take actions for funny things like this not to occur again.
(jokingly pointing his finger towards Hashim) I'm supposed to pull your ears but I won't now, until I hear that you offend your wife again.
Hashim laughing: Aaah! Please don't do that Shaykh! If you do and it hurts, anytime I complain of the ache she will still cry over my pains... Hahaha!
Imam: You see the kind hearted woman Allah blessed you with?! Take good care of her please, she can't be perfect though, you will still observe some funny attitudes in her, and same goes for you as well, but both of you complete each other. Tolerance and patience are important keys to a successful home. And one last bitter truth is that your wife was absolutely right when she advised you not to allow a man in, regardless of whom it may be brother, we can't know better than Rasululah who has advised against it, for its repercussions can at times get beyond what just happened with you.
Alhamdulillah, we all know brother Nasir with his righteousness, but still we are all humans and not angels, as long as shaytan Is still alive, precautions in these kind of situations is better than cure. Next time you can find a relative or friend whom your brother or any other male relative can stay with instead of living in the same home your wife is. Many might perceive it otherwise, but you know when somthing funny happens, they will still be the first to count blames on one's head. I ask Allah to guide us all and strengthen the bond and love in our homes. (standing up)
Now I need to start leaving, don't forget to keep trying to reach your brother or drop him apology messages if he still doesn't respond. He isn't to be blamed after all. He can't be sure what he will hear from you if he does.
So please amend that area too as well.
Hashim: Inshallah sir.
May Allah shower you with His blessings and reward!
May you never have the course for a third party to intervene in your matrimonial affairs.
Hashim saw the Imam off to the gate and returned back home. He first waited for minutes at the living room trying to reach his brother who didn't pick his call, after which he resorted to forward him a message.

(A reminder)
_*Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly periods. Nor is it lawful for them to hide what Allah Hath created in their wombs, if they have faith in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have the better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation. And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree (of advantage) over them. And Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise*_.
