A man who swears by divorce and begins with it

Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man mentions divorce or manumission and then says in sha Allah (if Allah wills), the divorce and the manumission take effect, whether he breaks the oath or keeps it.

Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If he did not break the oath, it does not take effect.

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) and al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Putting the divorce first or last is the same, when he joins it (the exception) to his speech.

Something similar is reported from al-Sha'bi.

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) and al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Whether he puts the divorce first or last, his saying in sha Allah remains valid.

Al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said concerning the exception in divorce and manumission: Whether he puts the divorce first or last, his saying in sha Allah remains valid.

Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When he begins with the divorce, it takes effect, whether he breaks the oath or not.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say: What does Shurayh know!

Sa'id al-Zubaydi said: Once I came to my wife very late at night, and she said to me: "You have come to me at this hour only because you have another wife." I said: "Every wife of mine other than you is divorced three times." I asked Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) about this, and he said: This statement has no effect.
