It is narrated from Abu Thumamah and a woman of our household that Kinanah bin Thawr had a wife who had borne him children in the Days of Ignorance. Kinanah said to her (over some matter): The whole of your body above your waist-wrapper is unlawful for me. So the woman brought this dispute before the court of Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), and he (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "What did you intend by this statement?" He said: "My intention was divorce." At this Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) gave this legal ruling: "This statement has separated this woman from you irrevocably (ba'in)."
