English Translation
Kharijah ibn Zayd informed him that he was sitting with Zayd ibn Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) when Muhammad ibn Abi 'Atiq came with tears in his eyes. Zayd ibn Thabit said: What is the matter? He said: I gave my wife authority over her own affair, and she separated from me. Zayd said: What made you do that? He said: It was fate. Zayd said: Take her back if you wish, for it is only one divorce and you have more right to her.
