(What is said regarding) a divorce given in a state of anger, under compulsion or under the effect of intoxicants or insanity. And what is the verdict about them. And what if one ascribes partners to Allāh or divorces his wife or does other things by mistake or through forgetfulness. We may refer to the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: "The deeds are evaluated according to one's intentions, and everybody will receive the reward of what he has intended."

5269. Narrated Abū Hurairah: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh has forgiven my followers the evil thoughts that occur to their minds, as long as such thoughts are not put into action or uttered." And Qatāda said: If someone divorces his wife just in his mind, such an unuttered divorce has no effect.

5269 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَجَاوَزَ عَنْ أُمَّتِي مَا حَدَّثَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا، مَا لَمْ تَعْمَلْ أَوْ تَتَكَلَّمْ» قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: «إِذَا طَلَّقَ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ»
