3202 - أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: «قَدْ خَيَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِسَاءَهُ، أَوْكَانَ طَلَاقًا»

Commentary
Some advocate that if a husband (in the situation mentioned above) offers a choice of divorce to his wife, then the divorce would take place; under all circumstances, even if she chooses to remain in her husband's house. 'Aishah ﷺ negated this notion that when the wife gives precedence to her husband: where does the question of divorce arise?
