One who says to his wife: you are divorced as many times as the stars

A man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Some words passed between me and my wife, and I divorced her as many times as the number of the stars." He said, "Did you utter the word of divorce?" He said, "Yes." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Allah Almighty has made divorce clear; whoever takes it accordingly, it becomes clear for him, and whoever makes it confusing for himself, we make it confusing for him. Do not put yourselves into such confusion that we have to bear it on your behalf. The matter is as you say; the matter is as you say."

Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man, after becoming the owner (husband) of all the women of the world, said to them, "You are divorced as many times as the number of the stars," they would all become unlawful (for him).

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked: A man divorced his wife as many times as the number of the stars; what is the ruling? He said, "The head of the star al-Jawza' (Gemini) alone is enough for him."
