ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ طَلَاقَ الْمَرْءِ امْرَأَتَهُ مَا لَمْ يُصَرِّحْ بِالثَّلَاثِ فِي نِيَّتِهِ يُحْكَمُ لَهُ بِهَا

[Machine] He divorced his wife Batata, then went to the Prophet ﷺ who asked him, "What did you intend with her?" He replied, "One (divorce)." The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Did you really intend one (divorce)?" He replied, "Yes, one (divorce)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then she is divorced according to what you intended."  

ابن حبّان:٤٢٧٤ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ الْبَتَّةَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا أَرَدْتَ بِهَا؟ » قَالَ وَاحِدَةً قَالَ «آللَّهِ؟ » قَالَ آللَّهِ قَالَ «هِيَ عَلَى مَا أَرَدْتَ»

What did you intend? He said: A single utterance of divorce. He said: Do you swear by Allah? He replied: I swear by Allah. He said: It stands as you intended. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is sounder than that of Ibn Juraij that Rukanah divorced his wife by three pronouncements, for they are the members of his family and they are more aware for him. The tradition of Ibn Juraij has been narrated by some children of Abu Rafi' from 'Ikrimah on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas.

أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ الْبَتَّةَ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا أَرَدْتَ قَالَ وَاحِدَةً قَالَ آللَّهِ قَالَ آللَّهِ قَالَ هُوَ عَلَى مَا أَرَدْتَ  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَنَّ رُكَانَةَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلاَثًا لأَنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ وَهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ رَوَاهُ عَنْ بَعْضِ بَنِي أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

'O Messenger of Allah! I irrevocably divorced my wife.' So he said: 'What did you intend by that?' I said: 'One (divorce).' He said: '(Do you swear) By Allah?' I said: 'By Allah.' He said: 'Then it is as you intended.'"
