Nazzal bin Sabrah said: I was present at every sermon that Sayyiduna Abdullah (Ibn Mas'ud) (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered in Kufa. One day I heard him being asked about a man who gave his wife divorce eight times. He replied: As many as he said have taken effect. Indeed, Allah Almighty has revealed His Book and has explained it. Now, whoever acts according to it, Allah Almighty has made it clear for him, and whoever opposes it—by Allah, we do not have the power to oppose like you (do).
