قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، ثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، قَالَ:
كُنَّا مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ، فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: هِيَ طَالِقٌ ثَمَانِيًا ؟ فَقَالَ: أَبِمَرَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ قُلْتَهَا ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَبِينَ مِنْكَ امْرَأَتُكَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: هُوَ كَمَا قُلْتَ. ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: اللَّيْلَةَ هِيَ طَالِقٌ عَدَدَ النُّجُومِ ؟ قَالَ: أَبِمَرَّةٍ قُلْتَهَا ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: وَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَبِينَ مِنْكَ امْرَأَتُكَ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. فَذَكَرَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ نِسَاءَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَا أَحْفَظُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: بَيَّنَ اللهُ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ الطَّلَاقُ، فَمَنْ طَلَّقَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى بُيِّنَ لَهُ، وَمَنْ لُبِّسَ بِهِ جَعَلْنَا بِهِ لَبْسَهُ، وَاللهِ لَا تَلْبِسُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَنَتَحَمَّلُهُ، هُوَ كَمَا تَقُولُونَ

✧ We were with Ibn Mas'ud ؓ, and a man came to him and said: 'A man said to his wife, "She is divorced eight times."' He said: 'Did you say it in one go?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Do you want your wife to be separated from you?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'It is as you said.' Then another came and said: 'A man said to his wife, "Tonight she is divorced as many times as the stars."' He said: 'Did you say it in one go?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Do you want your wife to be separated from you?' He said: 'Yes.' Ibn Mas'ud ؓ then mentioned the women of the people of the earth with something I do not remember, then he said: 'Allah has made clear to you how divorce is. Whoever divorces as Allah Almighty commanded him, it will be made clear to him, and whoever is confused about it, we will make his confusion apply to him. By Allah, you will not confuse yourselves and we will bear it. It is as you say.'
