حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِي الْبَتَّةَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏

"‏ مَا أَرَدْتَ بِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَاحِدَةً ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَاللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَهُوَ مَا أَرَدْتَ ‏"

Abdullah bin Yazid bin Rukanah narrated from his father, from his grandfather who said:

'O Messenger of Allah! I irrevocably divorced my wife.' So he said: 'What did you intend by that?' I said: 'One (divorce).' He said: '(Do you swear) By Allah?' I said: 'By Allah.' He said: 'Then it is as you intended.'"
