Muhammad bin Abi Ubaid says that I performed Hajj with ‘Adi bin ‘Adi Kindi, so he sent me to Safiyyah, the daughter of Shaybah bin ‘Uthman, the keeper of the Ka‘bah, to ask her about some matters which she had heard from ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her). Among the ahadith that Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated to me was this hadith: She heard ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) say: Divorce or emancipation given under compulsion does not take effect.
