Hadith 10:404
Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Abdullah bin Numayr narrated to us, from Isma'il bin Abi Khalid, from al-Sha'bi, who said: He was asked about a man who said to his wife, "Choose yourself," and she remained silent. Then he said, "Choose," and she remained silent. Then he said, "Choose," and she chose herself at the third [instance]. So he separated her from him and made it [count as] three.
