Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 38
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَتْ لَهُ اِمْرَأَتُهُ أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِ اَللَّهِ إِلاَّ مَا طَلَّقْتَنِي قَالَ "يُوجِعُهَا ضَرْباً أَوْ يَعْفُو عَنْهَا ".
Muhammad ibn Muslim said: I asked one of the Imams عليه السلام about a man whose wife said to him, "I ask you, for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, to divorce me." Imam عليه السلام said: "He should either discipline her with a beating or forgive her."
