Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 19160 — The expression bariyyah (quit): what

Amr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Jabir bin Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: If a man's wife keeps pressing him for a divorce and he says to her, "Go, I am free of you and you are free of me," and he does not intend divorce, what is the ruling? He said: If he did not intend divorce, it is not a divorce; and if he intended divorce, it is one divorce, and he has the right to take her back during her waiting period (iddah).
