اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ ، أَنَّ يَعْقُوبَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْحِمْصِيِّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسْكُنُ إِيلِيَا ، قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَدَيٍّ الْكِنْدِيِّ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ فَبَعَثَنِي إِلَى صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ وَكَانَتْ قَدْ حَفِظَتْ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ ، تَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَا طَلَاقَ وَلَا عَتَاقَ فِي غِلَاقٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : الْغِلَاقُ أَظُنُّهُ فِي الْغَضَبِ .
Muhammad ibn Ubayd ibn Abu Salih who lived in Ayliya said: I went out with Adi ibn Adi al-Kindi till we came to Makkah. He sent me to Safiyyah daughter of Shaybah who remembered a tradition (that she had heard) from Aishah. She said: I heard Aishah say: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There is no divorce or emancipation in case of constraint or duress (ghalaq). Abu Dawud said: I think ghalaq means anger.

Brief Explanation
1؎: The narration of the wording of this chapter is found in three ways: «على غيظ», «على غضب», «على غلطٍ», and in the hadith as «غلاق», «إغلاق», the meaning of which the author has taken to be for anger, although no person gives divorce (talaq) without anger and rage; in this way, no divorce would ever take place. Therefore, it is better to take the meaning of «إغلاق» as "coercion," and the correct and researched opinion is that a divorce taken by force (coercion) does not take effect.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
In the books of Gharib al-Hadith, the meanings of "ighlaq" include compulsion, coercion, and insanity.
In this hadith, what is meant is that intense state of anger in which a person loses awareness.
Otherwise, in normal circumstances, no one gives divorce out of happiness.
If divorce is forced through compulsion or coercion, or if someone gives divorce in a state of insanity, it is not valid.
If it is given in anger, then it does take effect.
