Does divorce occur by only passing the words used in divorce through the mind without being spoken?

Divorce occurs when a person with authority to divorce utters one of the expressions used for divorce. In order for divorce to take effect, the intention of getting divorced needs to be expressed verbally. It is stated in a hadith narrated from Prophet Muhammad (saw) as follows: “Allah has accepted my invocation to forgive what whispers in the hearts of my followers, unless they put it to action or utter it” (Bukhari, ‘Itq, 6; Ayman, 15). Accordingly, divorce does not occur only by thinking about talaq or intending talaq without uttering it .,
