Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasimfrom his father that a man of Thaqif gave his wife command overherself, and she said, "You are divorced." He was silent. She said,"You are divorced." He said, "May a stone be in your mouth." She said,"You are divorced." He said, "May a stone be in your mouth." Theyargued and went to Marwan ibn al-Hakam. He took an oath that he hadonly given her control over one pronouncement, and then she returnedto him. Malik said that Abd ar-Rahman declared that thisdecision had amazed al-Qasim, who thought it the best that he hadheard on the subject. Malik added, "That is also the best ofwhat I have heard on the subject." Translation Not Available
