Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
said, "When a man gives a woman command over herself, then the result
is as she decides unless he denies it and says that he only meant to
give her one divorce and he swears to it - then he has access to her
while she is in her idda."
Muwatta Malik Book 29, Hadith 11

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a man came
to Abdullah ibn Umar, and said, "Abu Abd ar-Rahman! I placed the
command of my wife in her hand, and she divorced herself, what do you
think?" Abdullah ibn Umar said, "I think that it is as she said." The
man said, "Don't do it, Abu Abd ar-Rahman!" Ibn Umar said, "You did
it, it has nothing to do with me."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Sulayman ibn Zayd
ibn Thabit that Kharija ibn Zayd ibn Thabit told him that he was
sitting with Zayd ibn Thabit when Muhammad ibn Abi Atiq came to him
with his eyes brimming with tears. Zayd asked him what the matter was.
He said, "I gave my wife command of herself, and she separated from
me." Zayd said to him, "What made you do that?" He said, "The Decree."
Zayd said, "Return to her if you wish for it is only one
pronouncement, and you have access to her."
