3446. It was narrated from 'Aishah that when the Kilâbî woman entered upon the Prophet ﷺ she said: "I seek refuge with Allâh from you." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "You have sought refuge with One Who is Great. Go back to your family." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

3417 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ - عَنِ الَّتِي اسْتَعَاذَتْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -، فَقَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ الْكِلَابِيَّةَ لَمَّا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَقَدْ عُذْتِ بِعَظِيمٍ، الْحَقِي بِأَهْلِكِ»

Commentary

1. 'The Kilâbî woman': Her name was Fatimah bint Dhahhâk. Her father had contracted her marriage with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. The controversy is: why did she utter these words? (I seek Allâh's refuge from you). It occurs in some reports that someone had deceptively told her that if she uttered these words in her first meeting with the Prophet ﷺ, he would become very glad. Or she was probably not happy about the marriage committed by her father, and she, therefore, uttered these words. Whatever the situation might have been, the Prophet ﷺ divorced her. 3. 'Go back to your family': If these words are uttered with the intention of divorcing, the divorce shall come into effect.
