وَعَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ (فِي قِصَّةِ اَلْمُتَلَاعِنَيْنِ)
قَالَ: «فَلَمَّا فَرَغَا مِنْ تَلَاعُنِهِمَا قَالَ: كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ! إِنْ أَمْسَكْتُهَا، فَطَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -»
When they finished invoking curses regarding one another the man said, “I shall have lied against her, O Messenger of Allah, if I keep her (as a wife).” He, then, pronounced her divorce three times, even before the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) commanded him to do so.
