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 (ﷺ) 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)

وحدثناه ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا علي بن مسهر، عن اسماعيل بن ابي، خالد عن الشعبي، عن مسروق، قال ما ابالي خيرت امراتي واحدة او ماية او الفا بعد ان تختارني ولقد سالت عايشة فقالت قد خيرنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم افكان طلاقا
