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 – صلى الله عليه وسلم -} مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ . 1 . 1 – صحيح. رواه البخاري (5308) ومسلم (1492) (1).

Narrated Sahl bin Sa’d (RA) concerning the story of the two (husband and wife) who invoked curses regarding one another: When they finished invoking curses regarding one another the man said, “I shall have lied against her, O Allah’s Messenger, if I keep her (as a wife).” He, then, pronounced her divorce three times, even before Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) commanded him to do so. [Agreed upon].
