عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا
الْأَعْمَشُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
مُسْلِمٌ ، عَنْ
مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : " خَيَّرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَاخْتَرْنَا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ، فَلَمْ يَعُدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا شَيْئًا " .
Narrated `Aisha: Allah's Apostle gave us the option (to remain with him or to be divorced) and we selected Allah and His Apostle . So, giving us that option was not regarded as divorce.
Hadith 5263
حَدَّثَنَا
مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى ، عَنْ
إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَامِرٌ ، عَنْ
مَسْرُوقٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ
عَائِشَةَ عَنِ الْخِيَرَةِ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : " خَيَّرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَفَكَانَ طَلَاقًا ؟ " قَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ : لَا أُبَالِي أَخَيَّرْتُهَا وَاحِدَةً أَوْ مِائَةً بَعْدَ أَنْ تَخْتَارَنِي .
Narrated Masruq: I asked `Aisha about the option: She said, "The Prophet gave us the option. Do you think that option was considered as a divorce?" I said, "It matters little to me if I give my wife the option once or a hundred times after she has chosen me."
