Divorce takes place through an explicit utterance, or through an implicit expression accompanied by intention if the word could bear the meaning of divorce and other meanings. As for words that do not bear the meaning of divorce, such as "sit down" or "may Allah bless you," divorce does not take place through them, even if the husband intended it, because the word does not bear the meaning of divorce. Therefore, the phrase mentioned does not result in divorce, even if accompanied by the intention of divorce, because it does not bear the meaning of divorce in any way.
