Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 19430 — Those who said there is no jesting
١٩٤٣٠ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: نا عيسى بن يونس عن عمرو عن الحسن (١) قال: كان الرجل في الجاهلية يطلق ثم (يرجع) (٢) يقول: كنت لاعبًا، ويعتق ثم (يرجع) (٣) (و) (٤) يقول: كنت لاعبا، فأنزل اللَّه: ﴿(وَلَا) (٥) تَتَّخِذُوا آيَاتِ اللَّهِ هُزُوًا﴾ فقال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "من طلق أو حرر (أو أنكح) (٦) أو نكح فقال: إني كنت لاعبًا فهو جائز" (٧).
Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In the Days of Ignorance, a man would divorce his wife and then take her back, saying, "I was only jesting"; and he would free a slave and then go back on it, saying, "I was only jesting." Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Do not take the verses of Allah in jest." Upon this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever divorces, frees a slave, gives someone in marriage or marries, and then says, "I was only jesting," these things will still take effect.
