Alqamah bin Qays (may Allah have mercy on him) says: A man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and said that a man had given his wife a hundred divorces last night. He asked: Did he say it in one go? He said: Yes. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Was it your intention that your wife be separated from you? He said: Yes. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is just as you said. The narrator says: Then another man came and said that a man had given his wife divorces equal to the number of the stars last night. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Did you say this to your wife in one go? He said: Yes. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Did you intend to separate your wife? He said: Yes. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is just as you said. Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) says: He also said something about the women of the people of the earth, which I could not remember. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allah, the Lord of Might, has made the matter of divorce clear. Whoever divorces as Allah, the Lord of Might, has commanded, (the ruling) is clear for him; and whoever confuses the matter upon himself, we likewise (judge) him by his confusion. By Allah! Do not confuse the matter upon yourselves; we accept from you just as you say.
