Bayhaqi 15048 — Reports on giving the wife ownership of the divorce

Hammad bin Zayd says: I asked Ayyub: Do you know anyone who held the view of al-Hasan that when the husband entrusts his authority to the wife, she is divorced three times? He said: No, except something that Qatadah narrated from Kathir, the freedman of Abd al-Rahman bin Samurah, from Abu Salamah, that Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated likewise from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Ayyub says: Kathir came to us and I asked him, and he said: I never narrated it. When I mentioned this to Qatadah, he said: He did narrate it, but he has forgotten.
Nothing is established about Kathir's standing that would make accepting his narration necessary, and the view of the majority is contrary to his narration, and Allah knows best.
(24) Chapter: The woman who, when given the authority (tamlik), says "I divorce you" while intending divorce
It has already passed in the narrations of al-Aswad and Alqamah concerning a man who entrusted his authority to his wife, and then the wife spoke of three divorces. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked, and he said: In my view one divorce has occurred and the husband has more right to take her back. And Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: That is my view too.
