Divorce or Keep?

SUMMARY: A man asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) what to do with his wife who does not object if anyone touches her, and the Prophet advised him to divorce her, but when he said he could not live without her, the Prophet told him to keep her.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that a man said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have a wife who does not object if anyone touches her". He said: "Divorce her". He said: "I cannot live without her". He said: "Then keep her".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ رِئَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ تَحْتِي امْرَأَةً لاَ تَرُدُّ يَدَ لاَمِسٍ قَالَ ‏"‏ طَلِّقْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنِّي لاَ أَصْبِرُ عَنْهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَأَمْسِكْهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ وَالصَّوَابُ مُرْسَلٌ
