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] "Abdullah, whoever divorces as Allah has commanded, Allah has clearly explained divorce. And whoever takes upon himself [the responsibility], we will clothe him with it. And Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. And we will hold him accountable for it, just as you say."  

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَنْ طَلَّقَ كَمَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ فَقَدْ بَيَّنَ اللَّهُ الطَّلَاقَ وَمَنْ لَبَّسَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَكَّلْنَا بِهِ لَبْسَهُ وَاللَّهِ لَا تُلَبِّسُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَنَتَحَمَّلُهُ نَحْنُ هُوَ كَمَا تَقُولُونَ  

[Machine] "He is just as you said," then a man came to him and said, "I divorced my wife the number of stars." He said, "Did you say it once?" He said, "Yes," He said, "So you want to clarify from yourself?" He said, "Yes." Abdullah mentioned at that time the women of the people of the earth with something that I do not remember. Then Abdullah said, "Allah has made clear to you how divorce is. So whoever divorces as Allah has commanded, then he has been made clear to him. And whoever wears a garment, we have made it a garment for him, and O Allah! Do not load upon yourselves burdens which you cannot bear. It is as you say."  

«هُوَ كَمَا قُلْتَ» ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِي عَدَدَ النُّجُومِ فَقَالَ «مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً قُلْتَهَا؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَبِينَ مِنْكَ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ عَبْدُ اللهِ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ نِسَاءَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ بِشَيْءٍ لَا أَحْفَظُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «قَدْ بَيَّنَ اللهُ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ الطَّلَاقُ فَمَنْ طَلَّقَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ فَقَدْ بُيِّنَ لَهُ وَمَنْ لَبَسَ جَعَلْنَا بِهِ لَبْسَهُ وَاللهِ لَا تَلْبِسُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَنَتَحَمَّلُهُ عَنْكُمْ هُوَ كَمَا تَقُولُونَ»  

[Machine] Mohammed mentioned a word from the women of the people of the earth that I did not remember. He said, "Allah has clearly explained the matter of divorce. Whoever divorces according to the command of Allah, then indeed it is clear for him. And whoever clothes himself with injustice, we will make him bear his burden. Indeed, you will not bear the burden of others. And we will carry you on your own. It is as you say." Abu Taher, the scholar, informed us that I am Abu Hamed ibn Bilal, narrating from Yahya ibn Rabia al-Makki, who narrated from Sufyan, from Ayoub, from Ibn Sireen, from Alqamah, who said, "We were with Abdullah and he mentioned its meaning, but the wording is different."  

مُحَمَّدٌ فَذَكَرَ مِنْ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ كَلِمَةً لَا أَحْفَظُهَا قَالَ قَدْ بَيَّنَ اللهُ أَمْرَ الطَّلَاقِ فَمَنْ طَلَّقَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ فَقَدْ تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ وَمَنْ لَبَسَ عَلَيْهِ جَعَلْنَا بِهِ لُبْسَهُ وَاللهِ لَا تَلْبَسُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَنَتَحَمَّلُهُ عَنْكُمْ هُوَ كَمَا تَقُولُونَ 14963 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ أنا أَبُو حَامِدِ بْنُ بِلَالٍ نا يَحْيَى بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ الْمَكِّيُّ نا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ وَاللَّفْظُ مُخْتَلِفٌ
