Husband telling the wife "I got no wasta"

Q: My husband touched the Quran in anger an said I got no wasta. He said he didn't mean it as divorce. Can you please tell me does that mean we are divorced? I've already paid kafara of feeding 20 poor people because he touched the Quran. An we been living like man an wife since. Please help me as I'm not comfortable. I pray five times and I don't want to live in sin for the rest of my life.

A: If he did not intend talaaq at the time of uttering these words, then no talaaq has taken place.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
