Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Divorce is only for the waiting period ('iddah), and freeing a slave is only for the pleasure of Allah."
Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Ahmad bin Sa'id bin Farqad, who is da'if (weak).
