حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : إِنِّي طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِي مِائَةَ تَطْلِيقَةٍ، فَمَاذَا تَرَى عَلَيَّ ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : " طَلُقَتْ مِنْكَ لِثَلَاثٍ، وَسَبْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ اتَّخَذْتَ بِهَا آيَاتِ اللَّهِ هُزُوًا "
A man said to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he had given his wife one hundred divorces. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) replied that she has become separated from you with three divorces, and with the remaining ninety-seven (97) divorces you have made a mockery of the verses of Allah.
