Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard thatAbdullah ibn Masud said that there was nothing binding on someone whosaid, "Every woman I marry is divorced," if he did not name a specifictribe or woman.Malik said, "That is the best of what I haveheard."Malik said about a man saying to his wife, "You aredivorced, and every woman I marry is divorced," or that all hisproperty would be sadaqa if he did not do such-and-such, and he brokehis oath:
"As for his wives, it is divorce as he said, and as for hisstatement, 'Every woman I marry is divorced', if he did not name aspecific woman, tribe, or land, or such, it is not binding on him andhe can marry as he wishes. As for his property, he gives a third of itaway as sadaqa."
