The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 1866 (#Ḥadīth #6)

6- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْعَلاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْصَانِي جَبْرَئِيلُ بِالْمَرْأَةِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لا يَنْبَغِي طَلاقُهَا إِلا مِنْ فَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ.

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Jibril advised me about women (so much) that I began to think of divorce as an improper act unless it is because of openly proven indecency.’”
