[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ complaining that his master married him while he wanted to separate between him and his wife. The Prophet praised Allah and praised the man, then he said, "What is the matter with people who marry their slaves to their female slaves, then they want to separate between them? Verily, the one who has the power to divorce is the one who takes hold of the calf of his own leg, Ibn Lahi'ah has narrated it from Musa ibn Ayyub as a messenger."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَشْكُو أَنَّ مَوْلَاهُ زَوَّجَهُ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ امْرَأَتِهِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يُزَوِّجُونَ عَبِيدَهُمْ إِمَاءَهُمْ ثُمَّ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَهُمْ أَلَا إِنَّمَا يَمْلِكُ الطَّلَاقَ مَنْ يَأْخُذُ بِالسَّاقِ خَالَفَهُ ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ مُرْسَلًا
