'A'isha reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave us the option (to get divorce) but we did not deem it as divorce.

Masruq reported: I do not mind if I give option to my wife (to get divorce) once, hundred times, or thousand times after (knowing it) that she has chosen me (and would never seek divorce). I asked 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) (about it) and she said: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave us the option, but did it imply divorce? (It was in fact not a divorce; it is effective when women actually avail themselves of it.)

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave option to his wives, but it was not a divorce.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave us the option (to get divorce) and we chose him and he did not count it a divorce.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave us the option (to get divorce), but me made a choice of him and he did not count anything (as divorce) in regard to us.

A hadith like this has been transmitted on the authority of 'A'isha through another chain of narrators.
