حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُخَيِّرُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَتَخْتَارُهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ
أَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي سَأَعْرِضُ عَلَيْكِ أَمْرًا، فَلَا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ [لَا] تَعْجَلِي فِيهِ، حَتَّى تُشَاوِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ فَقُلْتُ: وَمَا هَذَا الْأَمْرُ ؟ قَالَتْ: فَتَلَا عَلَيَّ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلا وَإِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الآخِرَةَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنَاتِ مِنْكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَقُلْتُ: وَفِي ذَلِكَ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أُشَاوِرَ أَبَوَيَّ، بَلْ أُرِيدُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ، قَالَتْ: فَسُرَّ بِذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَعْجَبَهُ، وَقَالَ: سَأَعْرِضُ عَلَى صَوَاحِبِكِ مَا عَرَضْتُ عَلَيْكِ. قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: فَلَا تُخْبِرْهُنَّ بِالَّذِي اخْتَرْتُ، فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ لَهُنَّ كَمَا قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: قَدِ اخْتَارَتْ عَائِشَةُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: قَدْ خَيَّرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمْ نَرَ ذَلِكَ طَلَاقًا.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me and said, 'I am going to present a matter to you. You should not hasten in it until you consult your parents.' I said, 'And what is this matter?' She said, 'Then he recited to me: "O Prophet, say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and release you with a good release. But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter, then indeed Allah has prepared for the doers of good among you a great reward." ' Aishah said, 'So I said, "In this matter you tell me to consult my parents? Rather, I desire Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter."' She said, 'The Prophet ﷺ was pleased with that and it impressed him. He said, "I will present to your companions what I have presented to you." ' She said, 'I said to him, "Do not tell them what I have chosen." He did not do so. He used to say to them as he said to Aishah, then he would say, "Aishah has chosen Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter." ' Aishah said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us the choice, and we did not consider that a divorce.'
