قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَصِينٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ وَثَّابٍ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مَسْرُوقًا قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ : " إِذَا قَالَ : أَمْرُكِ بِيَدِكِ ، وَاسْتَصْلِحِي بِأَمْرِكِ ، وَقَدْ وَجَّهْتُكِ لِأَهْلِكِ إِنْ قَبِلُوهَا - فَوَاحِدَةٌ بَائِنَةٌ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said (regarding divorce): "If a husband says (to his wife): 'Your affair is in your own hand; decide for yourself what is best for you; and I have sent you to your family, provided they accept you,' then this will be counted as one irrevocable divorce (talaq ba'in, by which the marriage bond ends)."
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ : جَاءَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي ، فَقَالَ : مَا يُبْكِيكَ ؟ قَالَ : مَلَّكْتُ امْرَأَتِي أَمْرَهَا فَفَارَقَتْنِي ، فَقَالَ : مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ فَقَالَ : الْقَدَرُ . قَالَ : " هِيَ وَاحِدَةٌ ; إِنْ شِئْتَ رَاجَعْتَهَا ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ تَرَكْتَهَا ".
Kharijah bin Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that Ibn Abi Atiq came to Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) weeping, and he (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What has made you weep? He said: I made my wife the owner of her own affair (that is, I gave her the option of divorce), and as a result she separated from me. Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What led you to do that? He replied: Divine decree. So he (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled: "This will count as only one divorce; now, if you wish, take her back, and if you wish, leave her."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، ثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي الْحَرَامِ : " إِنْ كَانَ نَوَى طَلَاقًا فَهُوَ طَلَاقٌ ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَوَى طَلَاقًا فَيَمِينٌ تُكَفِّرُهَا ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), concerning the legal ruling on declaring something (or one's wife) unlawful for oneself, that he said: "If by this word of prohibition he intended divorce, then it will be counted as a divorce; and if he did not intend divorce, then it is merely an oath for which he must pay expiation."
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ هُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، ثَنَا سَوَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو ثُمَامَةَ ، وَامْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِنَا - أَنَّ كِنَانَةَ بْنَ ثَوْرٍ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ امْرَأَةٌ قَدْ وَلَدَتْ لَهُ أَوْلَادًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : مَا فَوْقَ نِطَاقِكِ مُحَرَّمٌ . فَخَاصَمَتْهُ إِلَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ، فَقَالَ : مَا أَرَدْتَ ؟ قَالَ : الطَّلَاقَ . قَالَ : " فَقَدْ أَبَانَهَا مِنْكَ ".
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)."
