Is the phrase "Give me the pestle" considered one of the allusions to divorce if one intended divorce at a moment of anger without uttering it?

Divorce does not occur by mere intention, nor does it occur by words that do not carry the meaning of divorce, even if the one uttering them intended it, as Ibn Qudamah mentioned in "Al-Mughni." The phrase mentioned to the wife does not carry the meaning of divorce; therefore, no divorce has occurred. It is advisable to disregard whispers () and not pay attention to them.
