لا تطلقوا فإن الطلاق يهتز منه عرش الرحمن
Answer
Imams Daylami, Ibn ‘Adiy and Hafiz Khatib Baghdadi (rahimahumullah) have recorded this Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Ali (radiyallahu ‘anhu).
(Al Kamil, Hadith: 12058, Tarikh Baghdad, vol. 14 pg. 93 and Al-Maqasidul Hasanah, Hadith: 10)
However, The chain consists of an extremely weak narrator.
(Refer: Talkhisu Kitabil Mawdu’at, Hadith: 604, Tanzihush Shari’ah, vol. 2 pg. 202, Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 3289. Also see: Al Maqasidul Hasanah, Hadith: 10)
