It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the verse of choice (Ayat Takhyir) was revealed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) first called me and said, "O Aisha! I want to mention something before you; do not make any decision in this matter without consulting your parents." I asked, "What is it?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me and recited this verse: "O Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)! Say to your wives: If you desire Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter..." I said, "Will I consult my parents in this matter? I choose Allah and His Messenger." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became very happy and said, "I will say the same thing before your other companions (wives)." I said, "Do not tell them what I have chosen." But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do so, and he would tell them Hazrat Aisha's (may Allah be pleased with her) answer, saying that Aisha has chosen Allah, His Messenger, and the home of the Hereafter. She says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us the choice, but we did not consider it as a divorce.
