Hazrat Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I was sitting with Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) when a man and a woman came arguing. The man said: By Allah! If your wealth was not with me, I would have divorced you. The woman said: Leave my wealth and divorce me. The man divorced her and then divorced her two more times. Hazrat Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It seems to me that your wife has separated from you and you have also lost the wealth. Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The religion of Allah is in your hands; whatever has happened is valid.
