موطأ مالك

6
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَقُولُ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ أَنْتِ عَلَىَّ حَرَامٌ إِنَّهَا ثَلاَثُ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ . قَالَ مَالِكُ وَذَلِكَ أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ .


Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Ali ibn AbiTalib used to say that if a man said to his wife, "You are haram forme," it counted as three pronouncements of divorce.Maliksaid, "That is the best of what I have heard on the subject."
