Hadith 3685

Sahih

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: مَا أُبَالِي خَيَّرْتُ امْرَأَتِي وَاحِدَةً، أَوْ مِائَةً، أَوْ أَلْفًا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَخْتَارَنِي، وَلَقَدْ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: «قَدْ خَيَّرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَفَكَانَ طَلَاقًا.

I do not mind if I give option to my wife (to get divorce) once, hundred times, or thousand times after (knowing it) that she has chosen me (and would never seek divorce). I asked 'A'isha (رضی اللہ عنہا) (about it) and she said: Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) gave us the option, but did it imply divorce? (It was in fact not a divorce; it is effective when women actually avail themselves of it.)
