The Book of Divorce

كتاب الطلاق

 

Chapter 4: Giving one's wife the choice does not count as a divorce, unless it is intended as such

باب بَيَانِ أَنَّ تَخْيِيرَ امْرَأَتِهِ لاَ يَكُونُ طَلاَقًا إِلاَّ بِالنِّيَّةِ ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 1476 b

The above hadith has likewise been narrated through another chain.

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمٌ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ‏.‏ نَحْوَهُ ‏.‏
