أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ اللَّخْمِيِّ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« يَا مُعَاذُ، مَا خَلَقَ اللهُ شَيْئًا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعَتَاقِ، وَلَا خَلَقَ اللهُ شَيْئًا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الطَّلَاقِ. فَإِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِمَمْلُوكِهِ: أَنْتَ حُرٌّ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ - فَهُوَ حُرٌّ، وَلَا اسْتِثْنَاءَ لَهُ. وَإِذَا قَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: أَنْتِ طَالِقٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ - فَلَهُ اسْتِثْنَاؤُهُ، وَلَا طَلَاقَ فِيهِ

✧ "O Mu'adh, God has not created anything on the face of the earth more beloved to Him than emancipation, and God has not created anything on the face of the earth more hateful to Him than divorce. So if a man says to his slave: You are free, if God wills - he is free, and there is no exception for him. And if he says to his wife: You are divorced, if God wills - then he has his exception, and no divorce occurs."
