[Machine] There was some conversation between me and my wife. She said, "If the matter was in my hands, you would know what I would do." So I said, "Indeed, I testify that the matter in your hands is in your hands." She said, "Then you are divorced three times." Ibn Mas'ood said, "It is only one divorce and you have more right to her. I will ask the Commander of the Faithful about this." He mounted his camel and met Umar and told him the story. Umar said, "By Allah, Allah has placed authority in men's hands and they act according to what Allah has placed in their hands regarding the matter of women. Do you not see?" I said, "I see it as one divorce and he has more right to her." He said, "Yes, what you have seen is correct. If you had seen something different, it would not have been correct."
إِنَّهُ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ امْرَأَتِي بَعْضُ الْكَلَامِ فَقَالَتْ لَوْ أَنَّ الَّذِي مِنْ أَمْرِي بِيَدِي لَعَلِمْتَ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَقُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكِ أَنَّ الَّذِي مِنْ أَمْرِكِ بِيَدِي بِيَدِكِ قَالَتْ فَأَنْتَ طَالِقٌ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ «فَهِيَ وَاحِدَةٌ وَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا وَسَأَسْأَلُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ» فَرَكِبَ فَلَقِيَ عُمَرَ فَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ «بِفِيهَا الْحَجَرُ فَعَلَ اللهُ بِالرِّجَالِ وَفَعَلَ يَعْمِدُونَ إِلَى مَا جَعَلَ اللهُ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ أَمْرِ النِّسَاءِ فَيَجْعَلُونَهُ فِي أَيْدِيَهِنَّ مَا تَرَى؟» قُلْتُ «أُرَاهَا وَاحِدَةً وَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا» قَالَ «نَعْمَ مَا رَأَيْتَ وَلَوْ رَأَيْتَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ تُصِبْ»
