He gave his wives the choice between this world and the Hereafter; he did not give them the option of divorce.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَيَّرَ نِسَاءَهُ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةَ وَلَمْ يُخَيِّرْهُنَّ الطَّلاقَ

He gave his wives the choice between this world and the Hereafter; he did not give them the option of divorce. (Using translation from Aḥmad 588)
وَقَالَ خَيَّرَ نِسَاءَهُ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَلَمْ يُخَيِّرْهُنَّ الطَّلاقَ
" عَنْ عَلِىٍّ أنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ خَيَّرَ نِسَاءَهُ الدُّنيَا وَالآخرةَ، وَلَمْ يُخَيِّرْهُن الطَّلاَقَ".
