[Machine] Abdullah did not deliver a sermon in Kufa except that I witnessed it, so I heard him on a day when he was asked about a man who divorces his wife eight times and similar cases. He said, "He is as I said." Then he said, "Verily, Allah has revealed His Book and made its meaning clear. So whoever acts upon a matter based on what is apparent to him, then it has been made clear to him. And whoever goes against it, then by Allah, we cannot bear your opposition."
مَا خَطَبَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ خُطْبَةً بِالْكُوفَةِ إِلَّا شَهِدْتُهَا فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَوْمًا وَسُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَمَانِيَةً وَأَشْبَاهِ ذَلِكَ قَالَ هُوَ كَمَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَنْزَلَ كِتَابَهُ وَبَيَّنَ بَيَانَهُ فَمَنْ أَتَى الْأَمْرَ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ فَقَدْ بُيِّنَ لَهُ وَمَنْ خَالَفَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نُطِيقُ خِلَافَكُمْ»
