"عَنْ زَاذَان قَالَ: كُنا عِندَ عَلِى فَذكرَ الْخيارَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمنينَ قَدْ سَأَلَنِى عَنِ الْخِيَارِ فَقُلْتُ: إِن اخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا فَوَاحِدةٌ بَائنةٌ، وإِنِ اخْتَارَتْ زَوْجَها فَوَاحِدَةٌ وَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِها. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَيسَ كَذَلكَ وَلَكِنَّهَا (إِنْ) اخْتَارَتْ زَوْجَهَا فَلَيْسَتْ بِشَىْءٍ وَإِن اخَتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا فَواحِدَةٌ وَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا، فَلَمْ أَسْتطِعْ إِلَّا مُتَابَعَةَ أمِيرِ الْمُؤْمنينَ فَلَمَّا خَلُصَ الأَمْرُ إِلَىَّ وَعَلِمْتُ أَنِّى مَسْئُولٌ عَنِ الْفُرُوجِ أَخَذْتُ بِالَّذِى كُنْتُ أَرَى فَقَالُوا: وَالله لَئِنْ جَامَعْتَ (عَلَيْهِ) أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُمَر وَتَركْتَ رَأيَكَ الَّذِى رَأَيْتَ إِنَّهُ لأَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ أَمْرٍ تَفَرَّدْتَ بهِ، فَضَحِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَا أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ ثابِتٍ، فسأَلَ زيْدًا فَخَالَفَنى وَإِيَّاه، فَقَالَ: إِن اخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا فَثَلَاثٌ، وَإِن اخْتَارَتْ زَوْجَهَا فَوَاحِدةٌ وَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا".

"From Zadhan, who said: We were with 'Ali and the matter of choice was mentioned. He said: The Commander of the Believers asked me about the choice. I said: If she chooses herself, then it is one irrevocable divorce, and if she chooses her husband, then it is one and he has the better right to her. 'Umar said: It is not so, but if she chooses her husband, then it is nothing, and if she chooses herself, then it is one and he has the better right to her. I could not do otherwise than follow the Commander of the Believers. When the matter came to me and I knew that I would be questioned about private parts, I took the view I had held. They said: By Allah, if you oppose the Commander of the Believers 'Umar and abandon the opinion you held, it would be more beloved to us than a matter you have taken alone. He laughed and then said: Indeed, he sent to Zayd ibn Thabit and asked Zayd, and Zayd differed from me and from him. He said: If she chooses herself, then it is three, and if she chooses her husband, then it is one and he has the better right to her."
