اُردوEn
وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : كَانَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَيَقُولُ : كُنْتُ لَاعِبًا ، وَيُعْتِقُ مَمْلُوكَهُ وَيَقُولُ : كُنْتُ لَاعِبًا ، وَيُزَوِّجُ ابْنَتَهُ وَيَقُولُ : كُنْتُ لَاعِبًا . وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ قَالَهُنَّ لَاعِبًا فَهُنَّ جَائِزَاتٌ عَلَيْهِ : الطَّلَاقُ ، وَالْعَتَاقُ ، وَالنِّكَاحُ " .
فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي ذَلِكَ : وَلا تَتَّخِذُوا آيَاتِ اللهِ هُزُوًا .
فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي ذَلِكَ : وَلا تَتَّخِذُوا آيَاتِ اللهِ هُزُوًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a man would divorce his wife and then say: I was only joking; or he would free his slave and say: I said it only in play; or he would marry off his daughter and say: I was only amusing myself. At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three things which, if a person utters them even merely as a joke, become legally effective upon him: divorce, freeing a slave and marriage."
In view of this very situation, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this command: "And do not take the verses of Allah in jest" (Surah al-Baqarah: 231), that is, "and do not make the commands of Allah a target of jest and mockery."
