وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ؓ، قَالَ:
كَانَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَيَقُولُ: كُنْتُ لَاعِبًا، وَيُعْتِقُ مَمْلُوكَهُ وَيَقُولُ: كُنْتُ لَاعِبًا، وَيُزَوِّجُ ابْنَتَهُ وَيَقُولُ: كُنْتُ لَاعِبًا. وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ قَالَهُنَّ لَاعِبًا فَهُنَّ جَائِزَاتٌ عَلَيْهِ: الطَّلَاقُ، وَالْعَتَاقُ، وَالنِّكَاحُ ». فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي ذَلِكَ: وَلا تَتَّخِذُوا آيَاتِ اللهِ هُزُوًا

✧ A man in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would divorce his wife and say: I was joking, and he would free his slave and say: I was joking, and he would give his daughter in marriage and say: I was joking. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Three things - whoever says them in jest, they are valid upon him: divorce, manumission, and marriage." So Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed concerning that: 'And do not take the signs of Allah in mockery.'
