Those who said ila applies in contentment and anger, and those who said in anger

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Ila' takes place in both states, anger and contentment.

Umm Atiyyah said: Jubayr said to his wife: My brother's son will be nursed along with your son. She said: I cannot nurse two children. Jubayr swore that he would not go near his wife until she weaned that child. When the child was weaned and he was brought past the people, they said: You have nourished him well. Jubayr said: I had sworn that I would not go near my wife until she weaned him. The people said: This is ila'. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you did that in anger, then your wife is not lawful for you, and if you did not do it in anger, then she is your wife.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Ila' is only in anger.

Al-Qa'qa' bin Yazid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) about ila', and he said: Ila' is only that which is done in anger.

He (al-Qa'qa') said: And I asked Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) about it, and he said: I do not know what this is. Then he recited the verse of ila'.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) and al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man swears that he will not go near his wife until she weans her child, then if he holds back for four months, the ila' comes into effect.

(Through another chain, from al-Sha'bi:) Concerning a man who swore that he would not go near his wife until she weaned her child, they both said: When four months pass, the ila' has come into effect.

Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Ila' made in anger and in contentment is the same.
