Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a man came to Abdullah ibn Masud and said, "I have divorced my wife by saying I divorce you eight times." Ibn Masud said to him, "What have people told you?" He replied, "I have been told that I have to part absolutely from her." Ibn Masud said, "They have spoken the truth. A person who divorces as Allah has commanded, Allah makes it clear for him, and a person who obscures himself in error, we make stay by his error. So do not confuse yourselves and pull us into your confusion. It is as they have said."  

إِنِّي طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِي ثَمَانِيَ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَمَاذَا قِيلَ لَكَ قَالَ قِيلَ لِي إِنَّهَا قَدْ بَانَتْ مِنِّي فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ صَدَقُوا مَنْ طَلَّقَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ فَقَدْ بَيَّنَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَمَنْ لَبَسَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ لَبْسًا جَعَلْنَا لَبْسَهُ مُلْصَقًا بِهِ لاَ تَلْبِسُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَنَتَحَمَّلَهُ عَنْكُمْ هُوَ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ  

[Machine] "Allah ﷻ has clearly explained divorce, so whoever divorces as Allah ﷻ has commanded, it has been made clear to him. And whoever took upon himself the clothing of someone else, we made it his clothing, and Allah is not burdening you with what you say upon yourselves." He said, "And we see the statement of Ibn Sirin as an expression that I do not remember well, as he said, 'If he had the women of the people of the earth, then he said, 'All of them have gone away.'"  

«قَدْ بَيَّنَ اللهُ ﷻ الطَّلَاقَ فَمَنْ طَلَّقَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ فَقَدْ بُيِّنَ لَهُ وَمَنْ لَبَسَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ جَعَلْنَا بِهِ لَبْسَهُ وَاللهِ لَا تَلْبِسُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ نَتَحَمَّلُهُ عَنْكُمْ هُوَ كَمَا تَقُولُونَ» قَالَ وَنَرَى قَوْلَ ابْنَ سِيرِينَ كَلِمَةً لَا أَحْفَظُهَا إِنَّهُ قَالَ «لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ نِسَاءُ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا ذَهَبْنَ كُلُّهُنَّ»
