وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبُوشَنْجِيُّ، نا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، نا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ مَلَّكَ امْرَأَتَهُ أَمْرَهَا فَقَالَتْ: أَنْتَ الطَّلَاقُ فَسَكَتَ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: أَنْتَ الطَّلَاقُ، فَقَالَ: بِفِيكِ الْحَجَرُ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: أَنْتَ الطَّلَاقُ، فَقَالَ: بِفِيكِ الْحَجَرُ، وَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَى مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ " فَاسْتَحْلَفَهُ مَا مَلَّكَهَا إِلَّا وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ رَدَّهَا إِلَيْهِ " قَالَ: فَكَانَ الْقَاسِمُ يُعْجِبُهُ ذَلِكَ الْقَضَاءُ وَيَرَاهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا سَمِعَ فِي ذَلِكَ.
Al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a man of Thaqif entrusted his authority to his wife, and she said: "You are divorced." He remained silent. The second time the woman said: "You are divorced." He said: "A stone in your mouth!" The third time the woman said: "You are divorced." The man said: "A stone in your mouth!" The dispute of the two was brought to Marwan bin al-Hakam (may Allah have mercy on him). The husband said: I gave her the authority for only one (divorce), and he swore an oath to that, so Marwan (may Allah have mercy on him) returned the wife to him. Al-Qasim (may Allah have mercy on him) used to like this judgement and considered it a good thing that he had heard.

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، أنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْكَارِزِيُّ، نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ نا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَذَكَرَهُ وَرَوَاهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، وَحَبِيبٍ، وَعَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَتَمَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَالْحَسَنُ مَتْرُوكٌ.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: May Allah make your act go wrong! Beware, you have given yourself three divorces.

Hadith Takhrij «صحيح»
أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَاضِي قَالَا: نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، نا الْحَسَنُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، وَحَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ امْرَأَةً قَالَتْ لِزَوْجِهَا: لَوْ أَنَّ مَا تَمْلِكُ مِنْ أَمْرِي كَانَ بِيَدِي لَعَلِمْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ: فَإِنَّ مَا أَمْلِكُ مِنْ أَمْرِكِ بِيَدِكِ، قَالَتْ: قَدْ طَلَّقْتُكَ ثَلَاثًا، فَقِيلَ ذَلِكَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ: " خَطَّأَ اللهُ نَوْءَهَا فَهَلَّا طَلَّقَتْ نَفْسَهَا إِنَّمَا الطَّلَاقُ عَلَيْهَا وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ ".
Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a woman said to her husband: "If the authority that is in your hand were given to me, you would know what I am." So the man entrusted his authority to the woman. The woman said: "I have given you three divorces." When this was said to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: May Allah make your act go wrong! For she did not divorce herself. Divorce is given to the woman, not to the man.

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ نا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ ⦗٥٧٣⦘ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، نا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، نا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً قَالَتْ لِزَوْجِهَا: لَوْ أَنَّ بِيَدِي مِنْ أَمْرِ الطَّلَاقِ مَا بِيَدِكَ لَفَعَلْتُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: هُوَ بِيَدِكِ أَوْ قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ بِيَدِكِ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: فَأَنْتَ طَالِقٌ ثَلَاثًا، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: " خَطَّأَ اللهُ نَوْءَهَا أَلَا طَلَّقَتْ نَفْسَهَا؟ " وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " خَطَّأَ اللهُ نَوْءَهَا لَوْ قَالَتْ قَدْ طَلَّقْتُ نَفْسِي "، فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: هُمَا سَوَاءٌ يَعْنِي قَوْلَهَا طَلَّقْتُكَ وَطَلَّقْتُ نَفْسِي سَوَاءٌ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Ikrimah narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a woman said to her husband: "If the authority to divorce that is in your hands were mine, then I would do something." So the husband gave this authority to the wife. She said: "You are divorced three times." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: May Allah Almighty make her act go wrong; why did she not divorce herself?
(b) Ibrahim says that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: May Allah make her act go wrong; why did she not say, "I have divorced myself"? Ibrahim says: Her saying is the same either way: "I divorce you" and "I divorce myself".
(25) Chapter: The man who divorces his wife within himself and does not move his tongue with it, i.e. the husband divorces his wife in his heart without speaking it with his tongue.
