حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زَاذَانَ قَالَ:
كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ فَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْخِيَارِ فَقَالَ: سَأَلَنِي عَنْهَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُمَرُ فَقُلْتُ: إِنِ اخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا فَوَاحِدَةٌ بَائِنَةٌ، وَإِنِ اخْتَارَتْ زَوْجَهَا فَوَاحِدَةٌ، وَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا، فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ كَمَا قُلْتَ، إِنِ اخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا فَوَاحِدَةٌ [وَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا] [٢]، وَإِنِ اخْتَارَتْ زَوْجَهَا فَلَا شَيْءَ وَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ بُدًّا مِنْ مُتَابَعَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَلَمَّا وُلِّيتُ وَأُتِيتُ فِي الْفُرُوجِ، رَجَعْتُ إِلَى مَا كُنْتُ أَعْرِفُ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: رَأْيُكُمَا فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ رَأْيِكَ فِي الْفُرْقَةِ، فَضَحِكَ عَلِيٌّ وَقَالَ [٣]: أَمَا إِنَّهُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ: إِنِ اخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا فَثَلَاثٌ، وَإِنِ اخْتَارَتْ زَوْجَهَا فَوَاحِدَةٌ بَائِنَةٌ

Machine translation, not reviewed
We were sitting with ʿAlī when he was asked about the option (al-khiyār). He said: The Commander of the Believers ʿUmar asked me about it, and I said: If she chooses herself, it is one irrevocable (bāʾinah) divorce, and if she chooses her husband, it is one divorce, and he has more right to her. He said: It is not as you said. If she chooses herself, it is one divorce [and he has more right to her], and if she chooses her husband, then it is nothing, and he has more right to her. I found no choice but to follow the Commander of the Believers. Then when I became ruler and matters of marital relations were brought to me, I returned to what I used to know. It was said to him: Your opinion together with his in unity is dearer to us than your opinion alone in division. So ʿAlī laughed and said: Indeed, he sent for Zayd b. Thābit and asked him, and he said: If she chooses herself, it is three, and if she chooses her husband, it is one irrevocable divorce.
