Hadith 1140B1

قَالَ مَالِكٌ، فِي الرَّجُلِ يَقُولُ لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَنْتِ خَلِيَّةٌ أَوْ بَرِيَّةٌ أَوْ بَائِنَةٌ : إِنَّهَا ثَلَاثُ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي قَدْ دَخَلَ بِهَا، وَيُدَيَّنُ فِي الَّتِي لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا، أَوَاحِدَةً أَرَادَ، أَمْ ثَلَاثًا ؟ فَإِنْ قَالَ وَاحِدَةً، أُحْلِفَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، وَكَانَ خَاطِبًا مِنَ الْخُطَّابِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُخْلِي الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي قَدْ دَخَلَ بِهَا زَوْجُهَا، وَلَا يُبِينُهَا وَلَا يُبْرِيهَا، إِلَّا ثَلَاثُ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ، وَالَّتِي لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا تُخْلِيهَا وَتُبْرِيهَا، وَتُبِينُهَا الْوَاحِدَةُ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: If a man says to his wife: "You are Khaliyyah (released)," or "Bariyyah (free)," or "Bainah (separated)," then if he has had intercourse with that woman, three divorces will take effect. And if he has not had intercourse, then it will be according to his intention. If he says: "I intended only one," then he will be considered truthful upon taking an oath. However, the woman will become separated (bain) with just one divorce, and he cannot take her back, but he can marry her again with a new contract, because a woman with whom intercourse has not taken place becomes separated (bain) with just one divorce, while the one with whom intercourse has taken place becomes separated (bain) with three divorces.
