English Translation
A woman said to her husband: If what is in your hand of the matter of divorce were in mine, I would do something. He said to her: It is in your hand, or I have placed it in your hand. She said: Then you are divorced three times. Ibn Abbas said: May Allah confound her luck! If only she had divorced herself! It was narrated from Mansur that he said to Ibrahim: I heard that Ibn Abbas used to say: May Allah confound her luck, if only she had said 'I have divorced myself.' Ibrahim said: Both are the same - meaning her saying 'I have divorced you' and 'I have divorced myself' are the same. And Allah knows best.
