وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏.‏ أَنَّ رَجُلاً، كَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ وَلِيدَةٌ لِقَوْمٍ فَقَالَ لأَهْلِهَا شَأْنَكُمْ بِهَا ‏.‏ فَرَأَى النَّاسُ أَنَّهَا تَطْلِيقَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ‏.‏

English Translation

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad that a certain man had taken a slave-girl belonging to somebody else as a wife. He said to her people, "She is your concern," and people considered that to be one pronouncement of divorce.
