وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي الْخَلِيَّةِ وَالْبَرِيَّةِ إِنَّهَا ثَلاَثُ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarsaid that statements like "I cut myself off from you",or"You areabandoned", were considered as three pronouncements of divorce. Malik said that any strong statements such as these or others wereconsidered as three pronouncements of divorce for a woman whosemarriage had been consummated. In the case of a woman whose marriagehad not been consummated, the man was asked to make an oath on hisdeen, as to whether he had intended one or three pronouncements ofdivorce. If he had intended one pronouncement, he was asked to make anoath by Allah to confirm it, and he became a suitor among othersuitors, because a woman whose marriage had been consummated, requiredthree pronouncements of divorce to make her inaccessible for thehusband, whilst only one pronouncement was needed to make a womanwhose marriage had not been consummated inaccessible. Malikadded, "That is the best of what I have heard about the matter." Translation Not Available

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ، يَقُولُ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَقُولُ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ بَرِئْتِ مِنِّي وَبَرِئْتُ مِنْكِ إِنَّهَا ثَلاَثُ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْبَتَّةِ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَقُولُ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ أَنْتِ خَلِيَّةٌ أَوْ بَرِيَّةٌ أَوْ بَائِنَةٌ إِنَّهَا ثَلاَثُ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي قَدْ دَخَلَ بِهَا وَيُدَيَّنُ فِي الَّتِي لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا أَوَاحِدَةً أَرَادَ أَمْ ثَلاَثًا فَإِنْ قَالَ وَاحِدَةً أُحْلِفَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَكَانَ خَاطِبًا مِنَ الْخُطَّابِ لأَنَّهُ لاَ يُخْلِي الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي قَدْ دَخَلَ بِهَا زَوْجُهَا وَلاَ يُبِينُهَا وَلاَ يُبْرِيهَا إِلاَّ ثَلاَثُ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ وَالَّتِي لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا تُخْلِيهَا وَتُبْرِيهَا وَتُبِينُهَا الْوَاحِدَةُ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ .
Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard Ibn Shihab say thatif a man said to his wife, "You are free of me, and I am free of you," it counted as three pronouncements of divorce as if it were an'irrevocable' divorce. Malik said that if a man made anystrong statement such as these to his wife, it counted as threepronouncements of divorce for a woman whose marriage had beenconsummated, or it was written as one of three for a woman whosemarriage had not been consummated, whichever the man wished. If hesaid he intended only one divorce he swore to it and he became one ofthe suitors because, whereas a woman whose marriage had beenconsummated was made inaccessible by three pronouncements of divorce,the woman whose marriage had not been consummated was madeinaccessible by only one pronouncement. Malik said, "That isthe best of what I have heard." Translation Not Available
