Arabic text

2209 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَجَاوَزَ لِأُمَّتِي عَمَّا لَمْ تَتَكَلَّمْ بِهِ، أَوْ تَعْمَلْ بِهِ، وَبِمَا حَدَّثَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا»

Commentary

Divorce does not become valid until a person articulates the meaning of divorce, verbally or in writing. Just thinking of divorce does not make it valid.
