He said: "There is no divorce for the son of Adam except in what he owns."

It was narrated by Ibn Majah (h/2047), Abu Dawud (h/2190, 2191, 2192), Al-Bayhaqi (7/318), and Al-Irwa' (6/173).

: 17736: Upon you: 2: Scholars have differed in the interpretation of this verse, and the soundest of what has been said concerning it is that it was an easing for the Prophet—peace and blessings of Allah be upon him—so he relinquished the obligation of dividing his time, thus the division among his wives was not mandatory for him. This view is what corresponds to what has preceded, and it is whose meaning was confirmed in the Sahih from Aisha—may Allah be pleased with her—who said:

I used to feel jealous of those who gave themselves to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and I would say: 'Does a woman give herself to a man?' Then when Allah the Almighty revealed:

'You may postpone whom you wish of them and take to yourself whom you wish. And any that you desired of those you had set aside,' she said: I said: By Allah, I see that your Lord hastens to fulfill your desires. Ibn al-Arabi said: This which is confirmed in the Sahih is what should be relied upon.
