2056. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbās that Jamilah bint Salul came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "By Allāh, I do not find any fault with Thābit regarding his religion nor his behavior, but I hate disbelief after becoming Muslim and I cannot stand him." The Prophet ﷺ said to her: "Will you give him back his garden?" She said: "Yes." So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ told him to take back his garden from her and no more than that. (Sahih)
2056 - حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ جَمِيلَةَ بِنْتَ سَلُولَ، أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: وَاللَّهِ مَا أَعْتِبُ عَلَى ثَابِتٍ فِي دِينٍ، وَلَا خُلُقٍ، وَلَكِنِّي أَكْرَهُ الْكُفْرَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، لَا أُطِيقُهُ بُغْضًا، فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَتَرُدِّينَ عَلَيْهِ حَدِيقَتَهُ؟» قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْهَا حَدِيقَتَهُ، وَلَا يَزْدَادَ

When a woman feels that she cannot live with her husband, and it will be hard for her to discharge matrimonial obligations, then she may ask for divorce. In this situation, if a husband divorces her without taking anything back, it is also correct, and it will be considered divorce but not Khul'. When a woman returns the whole dowry or some of it to separate from her husband, it is called Khul' and it is legal.
