Sahih Muslim 1477b (Book 18, Hadith 34) #10822
The Option of Divorce in Islam

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the option of divorce given to women by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and how it should not be taken lightly.

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 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)
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي، خَالِدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ مَا أُبَالِي خَيَّرْتُ امْرَأَتِي وَاحِدَةً أَوْ مِائَةً أَوْ أَلْفًا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَخْتَارَنِي وَلَقَدْ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ خَيَّرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَفَكَانَ طَلاَقًا.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also warned against taking this option lightly as it can have serious consequences for both parties involved. He encouraged couples to work on their relationship before considering divorce as an option.
