Question Summary:
Did talāq occur in the following two scenarios?

Question Detail:

 
A man who is sitting in the bus and is thinking about divorce. So he thinks to himself in his mind, "Imagine how horrible it would and how your life would change if you say to your wife?" then he says in a soft voice: "Inti taliq, inti taliq", and then continues thinking in his mind "I would never say it". This happens sometimes when one is thinking, he thinks some parts silently and utters some parts out loud.
Would these two divorce statements count because he was just asking a question in his mind but wasn't even thinking about divorce. I know the scholars say that conditional divorce statements don't count unless the condition takes place, but in this case, the condition was mentioned in the mind, and the divorce statement alone was said in a loud voice, what is the hukm?
Do the two divorce counts take place?
 
Second question about divorce:
When somebody is very tired and reading durood, sometimes he mixes up the words and says Allahuma Sallahi ala Muhammad wa ala aalihi and then thinks of a topic live food, or work or sometimes even divorces and utters the wrong work such as inti Taliq instead of the durood due to sleepiness. Would this constitute a divorce count?
Jazaakum Allahu Khayran.

Answer :

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
(1)   Talāq did not occur in the enquired situation.[1]
 
In future, do ensure that you refrain from such irresponsible actions. Matters of talāq are intricate. One should always be cautious.
 
If such thoughts continue to occur without intending it, try your utmost best to ignore and dispel such thoughts. They are merely whisperings (waswasah) of Shaytān. You may also consider in seeking professional help if necessary.  
 
(2)   Talāq did not occur in this situation as well.[2]
 
It is advisable not to engage in any form of ‘ibādah while one is in a state of tiredness and inactivity.
