BAYHAQI 15027:
from Zādhān —
[Machine] About the choice, I said: if she chooses herself, then one person is enough, and if she chooses her husband, then one person is enough and he has more right to her. Umar said: No, that's not the case. But she chose her husband, so there is nothing wrong with that. And if she chooses herself, then one person is enough and he has more right to her. I could only follow the opinion of Amir al-Mu'minin Umar. When the matter came to me and I knew that I was responsible for the affairs of women, I followed what I thought was right. They said: By Allah, if you insist on it and go against the opinion of Amir al-Mu'minin Umar, whom you saw, it will be more beloved to us than you taking a decision by yourself afterwards. He laughed and said: Indeed, he had sent a message to Zaid bin Thabit and asked him, and Zaid disagreed with me. Zaid said: If she chooses herself, then three people are enough, and if she chooses her husband, then one person is enough and he has more right to her. He said: And I am al-Za'farani and Abdul Wahab narrated from Jarir, from Isa, from Zadhan, from Ali, with a similar narration.
