Bayhaqi 15047 — Reports on giving the wife ownership of the divorce

وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، أنا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، نا الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، نا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ، نا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " إِذَا مَلَّكَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَإِنْ قَضَتْ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهَا شَيْءٌ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَقْضِ فَهِيَ وَاحِدَةٌ وَأَمْرُهَا إِلَيْهِ " كَذَا وَجَدْتُهُ وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِ خَلَلٌ وَقَدِ اتَّفَقَ قَوْلُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي التَّخْيِيرِ وَالتَّمْلِيكِ وَكَذَا قَوْلُ عُمَرَ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِيهِمَا مُتَّفِقٌ، وَأَمَّا زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَ قَوْلُهُ فِيهِمَا كَمَا رَوَيْنَا وَقَدْ رَوَى الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ فِي اخْتَارِي وَأَمْرُكِ بِيَدِكِ سَوَاءٌ فِي قَوْلِ عَلِيٍّ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ وَكَأَنَّهُ عَلِمَ مِنْهُ قَوْلًا آخَرَ فِي إِحْدَى الْمَسْأَلَتَيْنِ يُوَافِقُ قَوْلَهُ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ الْأُخْرَى وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Al-Harith narrates from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): When the husband entrusts his authority to the wife once, if she makes a decision, nothing of her affair remains with him; and if she does not decide, it is one divorce and her affair will be in the husband's hands.
There is a defect in its chain.
Note: The view of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) on "al-takhyir wa al-tamlik" (giving the choice and giving the authority) is consistent, and likewise the view of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) is consistent in both, whereas the view of Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) differs between the two, as we have narrated. Al-Thawri narrates from Ibn Abi Layla from al-Sha'bi that "Ikhtari" (choose) and "Amruki bi-yadiki" (your affair is in your hand) are the same in the view of Sayyiduna Ali, Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit and Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them); it is as though he knew from him another view in one of the two issues that agrees with his view in the other, and Allah knows best.
