The Divorce – A Detestable Act
1- أَخْبَرَنَا عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِرَجُلٍ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلْتَ امْرَأَتَكَ قَالَ طَلَّقْتُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ قَالَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ تَزَوَّجَ فَمَرَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ص فَقَالَ تَزَوَّجْتَ قَالَ نَعَمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَا فَعَلْتَ امْرَأَتَكَ قَالَ طَلَّقْتُهَا قَالَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ قَالَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ تَزَوَّجَ فَمَرَّ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ص فَقَالَ تَزَوَّجْتَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَا فَعَلْتَ امْرَأَتَكَ قَالَ طَلَّقْتُهَا قَالَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ قَالَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُبْغِضُ أَوْ يَلْعَنُ كُلَّ ذَوَّاقٍ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَ كُلَّ ذَوَّاقَةٍ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ
Narrated to us certain persons of our people from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from abu Jamilah from Sa’d ibn Tarif who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws, has said that once the Messenger of Allah-saww passed by a man and asked, ‘How is your wife doing?’ He said. ‘I have divorced her, O Messenger of Allah-saww. He-saww asked, ‘Did you do it without her misbehaving?’ He replied, ‘Yes. it was without her misbehaving.’ He (the Imam) said that he married (again) and the Holy Prophet-saww, passed by and asked. ‘Have you got married?’ He replied. ‘Yes, I have married.’ He-saww afterward asked, ‘How is your wife?’ He replied, ‘I have divorced her.’ He-saww asked, ‘Did you divorce her without her misbehaving?’ He replied. ‘Yes, it was without her misbehaving.’ The man then got married and the Holy Prophet-saww, passed by and asked, ‘Have you got married?’ Afterward he-saww asked about his wife and he replied, ‘I divorced her.’ He-saww asked, ‘Did you do without her misbehaving?’ He replied. ‘Yes, it was without her misbehaving.’ The Messenger of Allah-saww then said. ‘Allah-azwj Condemns every man who divorces hastily (like an epicure who keeps tasting this and that food) and every woman who is as such.’
2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا أَحَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الطَّلَاقِ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُبْغِضُ الْمِطْلَاقَ الذَّوَّاقَ
Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from more than one person who has said the following:
‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, has said. ‘Of whatever Allah-azwj has made lawful nothing is more hateful to Him-azwj than divorce. Allah-azwj hates those who divorce very often in a hasty manner (like an epicure who keeps tasting this and that food).’
3- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُحِبُّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْعُرْسُ وَ يُبْغِضُ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الطَّلَاقُ وَ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَبْغَضَ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنَ الطَّلَاقِ
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from ‘Abd al-Rahman bin Muhammad from abu Khadijah who has said the following:
‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, has said, ‘Allah-azwj Loves the house in which there is wedding and He-azwj hates the house where divorce takes place. There is nothing more hateful to Allah-azwj than divorce.’
4- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُبْغِضُ كُلَّ مِطْلَاقٍ ذَوَّاقٍ
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Talhah ibn Zayd who has said the following:
‘I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, saying, ‘Allah-azwj hates those who divorce very often in big haste (like an epicure who keeps tasting this and that food).’
وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ بَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ ص أَنَّ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ طَلَاقَ أُمِّ أَيُّوبَ لَحُوبٌ
Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith, the following is narrated:
‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, has said that the Holy Prophet-saww was informed about abu Ayyub’s divorcing his wife. The Messenger of Allah-saww then said, ‘Divorcing ‘Umm (mother of) Ayyub is a sin.’
بَابُ تَطْلِيقِ الْمَرْأَةِ غَيْرِ الْمُوَافِقَةِ
Divorcing an Uncooperative Wife
1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ امْرَأَةٌ تُعْجِبُهُ وَ كَانَ لَهَا مُحِبّاً فَأَصْبَحَ يَوْماً وَ قَدْ طَلَّقَهَا وَ اغْتَمَّ لِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ مَوَالِيهِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لِمَ طَلَّقْتَهَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ عَلِيّاً ع فَتَنَقَّصَتْهُ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُلْصِقَ جَمْرَةً مِنْ جَمْرِ جَهَنَّمَ بِجِلْدِي
A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Uthman ibn Isa from a man who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws had a wife whom he-asws liked and loved. One day he-asws divorced her and he was sad about it. A certain person of his followers asked, ‘Why did you-asws divorce her?’ He-asws replied, ‘I-asws mentioned Ali-asws, before her and she reduced him-asws. I-asws did not like touching a burning piece of charcoal, of the charcoal of hell with my skin.’
2- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ خَطَّابِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ يَعْنِي أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع وَ أَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشْكُوَ إِلَيْهِ مَا أَلْقَى مِنِ امْرَأَتِي مِنْ سُوءِ خُلُقِهَا فَابْتَدَأَنِي فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي كَانَ زَوَّجَنِي مَرَّةً امْرَأَةً سَيِّئَةَ الْخُلُقِ فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِي مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنْ فِرَاقِهَا قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ فَقُلْتُ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ نَفْسِي قَدْ فَرَّجْتَ عَنِّي
Ahmad ibn Mehran has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali from ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz from Khattab ibn Salmah who has said the following:
‘I once went to see him, abu al-Hassan-asws(Musa-asws) and complain before him against my wife because of her bad moral behaviors. He-asws initiating to speak to me said, ‘One time my father arranged for me the marriage to a woman who had very bad moral behaviors and I complained before him against her. He said, ‘What stops you from divorcing her? Allah-azwj has already given you such authority.’ I (the narrator) then said to myself, ‘You-asws by Allah-azwj have provided relief and a way out for me.’
3- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ثَلَاثَةٌ تُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ دَعْوَتُهُمْ أَحَدُهُمْ رَجُلٌ يَدْعُو عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ وَ هُوَ لَهَا ظَالِمٌ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَ لَمْ نَجْعَلْ أَمْرَهَا بِيَدِكَ
Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad from al -Washsha’ from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from al-Walid ibn Sabih who has said the following:
‘I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah-asws saying, ‘The prayers of three kinds of people are returned to them without a favorable answer. One of such people is one who prays against his wife to whom he is unjust and it is said to him, ‘Have we not given you the authority to divorce her?’
بَابُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ لَا يَسْتَقِيمُونَ عَلَى الطَّلَاقِ إِلَّا بِالسَّيْفِ
People do not Remain Straight in Matters of Divorce without the Sword
1- حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ وَشِيكَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ لَا يَصْلُحُ النَّاسُ فِي الطَّلَاقِ إِلَّا بِالسَّيْفِ وَ لَوْ وَلِيتُهُمْ لَرَدَدْتُهُمْ فِيهِ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
قَالَ وَ حَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ الْمِيثَمِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ أَوْهَمَهُ الْمِيثَمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع
Humayd ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Hudhayfah, from Mu’ammar ibn (‘Ala’ ibn) Washik who has said the following:
‘I once heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘People do not behave properly in matters of divorce without the sword. If you govern them, you can return them to the book of Allah-azwj.’ He (the narrator) has said that al-Mithamiy from Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah from his narrators narrated this Hadith from abu ‘Abd Allah-asws’
2- وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ لَوْ وَلِيتُ النَّاسَ لَأَعْلَمْتُهُمْ كَيْفَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ أَنْ يُطَلِّقُوا ثُمَّ لَمْ أُوتَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ خَالَفَ إِلَّا وَ أَوْجَعْتُ ظَهْرَهُ وَ مَنْ طَلَّقَ عَلَى غَيْرِ السُّنَّةِ رُدَّ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ رَغِمَ أَنْفُهُ
It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from abu al-Mighra’, from Sama’ah from abu Basir who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws has said, ‘Were I to govern the people I would teach them how to divorce, thereafter I would make the back of the violators painful. Those who divorce against the Sunnah must be returned to the book of Allah-azwj, despite their opposing.’
3- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ وَشِيكَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ لَا يَصْلُحُ النَّاسُ فِي الطَّلَاقِ إِلَّا بِالسَّيْفِ وَ لَوْ وَلِيتُهُمْ لَرَدَدْتُهُمْ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Muhammad ibn Sama’ah from ‘Umar ibn Mu’ammar ibn )’Ata: ibn) Washik who has said the following:
‘I once heard abu Ja’far-asws, saying: ‘In matters of divorce people do not behave properly without the sword. Had I been governing them I would return them to the book of Allah-azwj.’
4- قَالَ أَحْمَدُ وَ ذَكَرَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنِ الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَوْ وَلِيتُ أَمْرَ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّمْتُهُمُ الطَّلَاقَ ثُمَّ لَمْ أُوتَ بِأَحَدٍ خَالَفَ إِلَّا أَوْجَعْتُهُ ضَرْباً
Ahmad has said that certain persons of our people have narrated from abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, and Muhammad ibn Sama’ah from the virtuous servant (of Allah-azwj) has said the following:
‘Had I been governing people I would teach them how to conclude a divorce case and thereafter make the violators to suffer pain.’
5- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ مَلَكْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ شَيْئاً لَأَقَمْتُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ وَ السَّوْطِ حَتَّى يُطَلِّقُوا لِلْعِدَّةِ كَمَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from certain persons of our people from Aban from abu Basir who has said the following:
‘I once heard abu Ja’far-asws, saying: ‘Had the affairs of people been in my hands, I would straighten them with the sword and whip them until they divorce with waiting period as Allah-azwj has Commanded.’

By Allah-azwj, were we to give you fatwas with injustice we become worse than you; Allah-azwj Says: ‘Would that their Rabbis and Ahbar prohibit them from their sinful words and consuming what is filthy. . . .’ (5:63).

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from abu Ayyub from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws, has said, ‘If one divorces his wife in one place three times when she is experiencing Hayd (menses) such divorce does not have any valid effect. A valid divorce is that which Allah-azwj has Commanded. Whoever does otherwise it is not a divorce. Ibn ‘Umar divorced his wife three times in one place and time when she experienced Hayd (menses). The Holy Prophet-saww commanded him to go to bed with her and ignore that kind of divorce. ‘He-asws said, ‘A man once came to ‘Amir al-Mu’minin-asws, and said. ‘O ‘Amir al-Mu’minin-asws, I have divorced my wife.’ He-asws asked, ‘Do you have witness?’ he replied, ‘No, I do not have any witness.’ He-asws said, ‘You must disregard it.

‘I once asked abu Ja’far-asws, about the case of a woman who is not divorced according to Sunnah and said that they are a family and no one knows them. He-asws said, ‘It does not have any valid effect.’
9- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْأَعْرَجِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ طَلَّقَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثاً وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ فَسَأَلَ عُمَرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا طَلَّقَهَا وَاحِدَةً وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ فَقَالَ فَلِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا كَانَ هُوَ أَمْلَكَ بِرَجْعَتِهَا كَذَبُوا وَ لَكِنَّهُ طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثاً فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَطَلِّقْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَمْسِكْ
A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Saeed. from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah from Sa’id al-A’raj who has said the following:
‘I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, state this Hadith. ‘Ibn ‘Umar divorced his wife three times at the same place and time, when she was experiencing Hayd (menses). He asked the Messenger of Allah-saww and he commanded him to go back to his wife.’ I then said. ‘People say that he divorced only once when she experienced Hayd (menses).’ He-asws asked, ‘What for then he asked the Messenger of Allah-saww if he was able to go back to her? They speak a lie. He divorced three times at the same place and time. Then the Messenger of Allah-saww commanded him to go back to her and then divorce her if he wanted or keep her if he so willed.’
10- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ سَمِعَتْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا طَلَّقَهَا وَ جَحَدَ ذَلِكَ أَ تُقِيمُ مَعَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَإِنَّ طَلَاقَهُ بِغَيْرِ شُهُودٍ لَيْسَ بِطَلَاقٍ وَ الطَّلَاقُ لِغَيْرِ الْعِدَّةِ لَيْسَ بِطَلَاقٍ وَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ فَيُطَلِّقَهَا بِغَيْرِ شُهُودٍ وَ لِغَيْرِ الْعِدَّةِ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهَا
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al -Hakam from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws, was asked about the case of a woman who hears that the man has divorced her but he denies it: if she can stay with him. He-asws said, ‘Yes, because divorce without witness is not a divorce, also divorce without waiting period is not a divorce. It is not lawful to divorce without witnesses and without waiting period that Allah-azwj has Commanded to do.’
11- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ وَ بُرَيْدٍ وَ فُضَيْلٍ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْأَزْرَقِ وَ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ فِي دَمِ النِّفَاسِ أَوْ طَلَّقَهَا بَعْدَ مَا يَمَسُّهَا فَلَيْسَ طَلَاقُهُ إِيَّاهَا بِطَلَاقٍ وَ إِنْ طَلَّقَهَا فِي اسْتِقْبَالِ عِدَّتِهَا طَاهِراً مِنْ غَيْرِ جِمَاعٍ وَ لَمْ يُشْهِدْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ رَجُلَيْنِ عَدْلَيْنِ فَلَيْسَ طَلَاقُهُ إِيَّاهَا بِطَلَاقٍ
Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurarah and Muhammad ibn Muslim and Bukayr ibn ‘A’yan and Burayd and Fudayl and ‘Isma’il al-Azraq and Mu’ammar ibn Yahya from abu Ja’far-asws and abu ‘Abd Allah-asws who has said the following:
‘When a man during a woman’s experiencing blood discharge because of childbirth or after going to bed with her divorces, such divorce is not a valid divorce. A divorce at such time when commencing waiting period is possible and valid, that it is in a menses-free time but without the presence of two just witnesses, such divorce also is not a valid divorce.’
12- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ فِي طُهْرٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ جِمَاعٍ ثُمَّ يُرَاجِعُهَا مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا تَبِينُ مِنْهُ بِثَلَاثِ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ فِي طُهْرٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ خَالَفَ السُّنَّةَ قُلْتُ فَلَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ إِذَا هُوَ رَاجَعَهَا أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا إِلَّا فِي طُهْرٍ آخَرَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ حَتَّى يُجَامِعَ قَالَ نَعَمْ
Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Satwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘ Ammar who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu al-Hassan-asws(Musa)-asws, about the case of a man who divorces his wife in a menses-free period during which he has not gone to bed with her. He then goes back to her on the same day, then divorces her: if it becomes irrevocable with three divorces during one menses-free period. He-asws said, ‘He has opposed the Sunnah.’ I then asked, ‘Is it necessary after going back to his wife to divorce her in another menses-free period of time?’ He-asws replied, ‘Yes, it is necessary.’ I said, ‘So that he can go to bed with her?’ He-asws replied, ‘Yes, he can do so.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il ibn Bazi’ from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from abu al-Sabbah al-KLinaniy who has said the following:
‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, has said, ‘If one divorces his wife without witnesses it does not become of any valid effect.’
14- سَهْلٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَدِمَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بِالْكُوفَةِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي طَلَّقْتُ امْرَأَتِي بَعْدَ مَا طَهُرَتْ مِنْ مَحِيضِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ أُجَامِعَهَا فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَشْهَدْتَ رَجُلَيْنِ ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ كَمَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَقَالَ لَا فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ طَلَاقَكَ لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ
Sahl has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sama’ah from ‘Umar ibn Yazid from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:
‘Once, a man in al-Kufah came to ‘Amir al-Mu’minin-asws, and said, ‘I have divorced my wife after she became clean from her Hayd (menses) and before I went to bed with her.’ ‘Amir al-Mu’minin-asws asked, ‘Did you ask two just men to witness as Allah-azwj has commanded to do?’ He replied, ‘No. I did not do so.’ He-asws said, ‘Your divorce in not valid.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following:
‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, has said, ‘If one divorces his wife three times at the same place and time it is invalid. The Messenger of Allah-asws rejected the divorce of ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar when he divorced his wife with three divorces when she experienced Hayd (menses). The Messenger of Allah-saww called it an invalid divorce saying, ‘Whatever is against the book of Allah-azwj must return to the book of Allah-azw’ He-saww said, ‘Divorce without waiting period is invalid.’

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il ibn Bazi’ from Ali ibn al-Nuoman from Sa’id al-A’raj who has said the following:
‘I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, ‘I asked ‘Amr ibn ‘Ubayd about the divorce of ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Umar and he said, ‘He divorced her once when she experienced Hayd (menses).’ Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, said, ‘Why did you not say to him, ‘If he divorced her once during her experiencing Hayd (menses) or when she did not experience Hayd (menses), he had more authority to go back to his wife.’ I said, ‘I did say so.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘He has not spoken the truth, may Allah-azwj condemn him. He divorced three times but the Messenger of Allah-saww rejected it and said, ‘You can keep your wife or divorce her according to Sunnah if you wanted.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Bukayr and others who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws, has said, ‘Every divorce without waiting period is not a valid divorce, or divorce during her experiencing Hayd (menses), Nifas (childbirth), after going to bed with her before her Hayd (menses), such divorces are not valid. If one divorces with waiting period more than once (the extra over one divorce does not have any valid effect). If one divorces with waiting period without just witnesses, it also is not a divorce and women’s witnessing is not sufficient.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘Once, I was with abu Ja’far-asws, when, Nafi’ Mawla’ ibn ‘Umar came to visit him-asws. Abu Ja’far-asws, asked him. ‘Are you the one who believes that ibn ‘Umar divorced his wife once during her experiencing Hayd (menses) and the Messenger of Allah-saww, O Allah-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad-saww and his family-asws worth of their services to Your cause, commanded ‘Umar to ask him to go back to his wife?’ He replied, ‘Yes, that is correct.’ He-asws said, ‘You have spoken a lie against ibn ‘Umar, by Allah-azwj, besides whom no one deserves worship. I heard ibn ‘Umar saying. ‘I divorced her during the time of the Messenger of Allah-saww, three divorces but the Messenger of Allah-saww reversed it on me and I kept her after divorce.’ O Nafi’ you must have fear of Allah-azwj and do not narrate falsehood against ibn ‘Umar.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu Najran from ‘Abd Allah ibn Bukayr from Zurarah from al-Yasa’ who has said the following:
‘I once heard abu Ja’far-asws, has stated this Hadith, ‘Divorce, which is not according to Sunnah, is not a divorce. A divorce is not according to Simnah if it is not pronounced in the presence of two just witnesses, in a menses-free period in which the husband has not gone to bed with her. If a man divorces his wife in a menses-free period during which he has not gone to bed with her but it is not in presence (of two just) witnesses, such divorce is not a valid divorce. If a man divorces his wife according to Simnah, in a menses-free period in which he has not gone to bed with her and pronounces it in the presence of witnesses but has not intended it to be a divorce it also is not a valid divorce.’

A man then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, what is your view about a man who mentions a woman exactly and on the day of his marriage says three times that she is divorced then he decides to marry her: if he can do so.’ He-asws said, ‘Divorce is only after marriage.’

‘Once I was in the Masjid when Ali ibn al-Husayn-asws came and I could not recognise him. He-asws had a black turban and he had allowed both ends of the turban to hang down between his two shoulders. I then asked a man sitting near me, ‘Who is this Shaykh?’ He asked, ‘Why did you not ask me about people other than this shaykh coming in the Masjid?’ I replied, ‘Because I did not see anyone else entering the Masjid look as good as this Shaykh and his condition in my eyes, thus I asked you.’ He then said, ‘This is Ali ibn al-Husayn-asws. The man. others and I stood up. We surrounded him-asws and offered greeting of peace. A man then said, ‘I pray to Allah-azwj to keep you well, what is your view about a man who mentions a woman exactly and on the day of his marriage says three times that she is divorced but then he decides to mam’ her: if he can do so.’ He-asws said, ‘Divorce is only after marriage.’ ‘Abd Allah has said that my father and I visited abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, Ja’far ibn Muhammad-asws, and my father narrated this Hadith to him-asws. Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws asked, ‘Will you testify that this is a Hadith of Ali ibn al-Husayn-asws‘ He replied, ‘Yes I will do so.’

‘Abu Ja’far-asws has said, ‘Divorce according to Sunnah is the divorce which one pronounces once in a menses-free period during which sexual intercourse has not taken place. It is pronounced in the presence of two witnesses and leaves her until her menses-free period is over. When this period is over she becomes stranger to him and he is one of those who may propose marriage: if he likes he can marry or not marry . If he decides to go back to his wife there must be a witness to bear witness to his going back to his wife before her menses-free period is over so that she remains with him within the first divorce.’ He (the narrator) has said that abu Basir narrated from abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, who stated this about the words of Allah-azwj. ‘Divorce is twice, thereafter one must keep her in proper manner or in kindness allow her to go,’ (2:229) He-asws has said that it is the second divorce and allowing with kindness to go.’

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws has said, ‘Divorce which is not according to Sunnah or not with waiting period does not have any valid effect.’ Zurarah has said that I then asked abu Ja’far-asws, ‘Please explain to me divorce according to Sunnah and divorce with waiting period.’ He-asws said, ‘For divorce according to Sunnah the man must wait until she experiences Hayd (menses) and becomes clean from Hayd (menses). When this happens he can divorce her in the presence of two witnesses without going to bed with her; then he leaves her until she experiences Hayd (menses) twice and her waiting period becomes complete. On her experiencing the third Hayd (menses) she becomes stranger to him. He then is one of those who may propose marriage : if he wants he can many or not to marry. He must pay her maintenance as long as she is in her waiting period and they inherit each other during the waiting period.’ He-asws said, ‘Divorce with waiting period is the divorce which Allah-azwj, has mentioned, ‘divorce them with waiting period and keep a count of the waiting period.’ (65:2) For this kind of divorce if a man wants to divorce his wife he must wait until she experiences (menses) and become clean from (menses) then divorce her one divorce in the presence of two just witnesses without going to bed with her. He then can go back to her on the same day if he likes or after several days or before she experiences Hoyd (menses). He must have a witness for his going back to her. He can go to bed with her and live with her until she experiences Hayd (menses). When she experiences Hayd (menses) and becomes clean, divorce her divorce in the presence of witnesses without going to bed with her. He then can go back to her again anytime he likes before she experiences Hayd (menses) for the third Hayd (menses). When she becomes clean of the third Hayd (menses) he divorces her in the presence of witness for the third time without sexual intercourse. When he does this she becomes stranger to him and he cannot marry her again before she marries another man.’ He-asws was asked, ‘What happens if she docs not experience Hayd (menses)?’ He-asws said, ‘In such case she is divorced according to Sunnah.’

Ibn Mahbub has narrated from ibn Bukayr from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘I once heard abu Ja’far-asws, saying, ‘If a man wants to divorce his wife I like if he does so in the form of divorce according to Swmah.’ He (the narrator) has said that He-asws then said, ‘This is that about which Allah-azwj, has said, ‘… perhaps Allah-azwj thereafter will cause something to happen.’ (65:2) It means after divorce and waiting period a marriage with him, before the advance of the case to a marriage with another man. He-asws said, ‘How vast is the justice and time for them! He must divorce her in a Hayd (menscs)-free period without sexual intercourse one divorce in the presence of witnesses then leave her until three months or three Hayd (menses) then he becomes one of those who may propose marriage.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu Najran or others from ibn Muskan from abu Basir who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, about the divorce according to Sunnah. He-asws said, ‘For divorce according to Sunnah when a man wants to divorce his wife he must leave her, if he has gone to bed with her, until she experiences Hayd (menses), then becomes clean. When she becomes clean he can divorce her once in the presence of two witnesses then leave her for three cycles of Hayd (menses). When three Hayd (menses)-frce periods are over she becomes stranger to him and he becomes one of those who may propose for marriage. He can marry if he wants or not many. If he marries with a new mahr (dower) she can live with him for the two remaining chances when only one is complete. If he divorces her once more in the presence of two witnesses, in a Hayd (menses)-free period, without sexual intercourse and then leaves her until her Hayd (menses)-free periods are over. If they are over before he goes back to her she then becomes stranger to him with control on her affairs and is free to marry. Her previous husband is now one of those who may propose for marriage if he likes to marry or not to marry. If he marries with a new marriage with a new mahr (dower) she can live with him for one more chance. Two chances are complete. If he decides to divorce her once more, she then is not lawful for him until she marries another man. ‘For divorce with choice to go back to her he waits until she experiences Hayd (menses) and becomes clean, he arranges two witnesses for divorce; then goes back to her and to bed with her then waits for the next Hayd (menses)-free period. When she experiences Hayd (menses) and becomes clean, he arranges two witnesses for divorce, after which he goes back to go to bed with her. He then waits until after her Hayd (menses)-free period she experiences Hayd (menses) and becomes clean. He then arranges for two witnesses for another divorce and thereafter she becomes unlawful for him to marry forever until she marries another man. She must complete a waiting period for three Hayd (menses)-free periods from the day of the third divorce. If he divorces once in a Hayd (menses)-free period in the presence of witnesses and waits until she experiences Hayd (menses) and becomes clean then divorces her before he goes back to her the second divorce is not a divorce. It is because he has divorced one who is divorced; she was a divorced woman from her husband and out of his authority until he goes back to her. When he goes back to her then marriage comes in his authority until he divorces for the third time. Upon divorcing her for the third time, the authority to go back to her goes out of his hand. When he divorces her in a Hayd (menses)-free period, in the presence of witnesses, then goes back to her and waits until one Hayd (menses)-free period ends without sexual intercourse. She then experience Hayd (menses) and becomes clean then he divorces her before sexual intercourse after going back to her his divorce as such is not a divorce. It is because he has divorced her for the second time in the first Hayd (menses)-free period and a Hayd (mcnses)-free period cannot be broken without sexual intercourse after going back to her. In the same way, the third divorce cannot take place except by going back to her. After going back then she experiences Hayd (menses) and a Hayd (menses)-free period. He then divorces in the presence of witnesses until there is Hayd (menscs)-free period after every divorce with sexual intercourse is a Hayd (menses)-free period and cleansing by sexual intercourse then divorce takes place in the presence of witnesses.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all of them from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr, from ‘Abd al-Karim, all from al-Hassan ibn Ziyad. who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, about the divorce according to Sunnah and how a man can divorce his wife. He-asws said, ‘He must divorce her in a Hayd (menses)-free period at a time when she can commence her waiting period, in the presence of witnesses without going to bed with her. If he divorces her once then leaves until her waiting period is complete, she then becomes stranger to him and he is one of those who may propose marriage. If he goes back to her she then is with him for two more divorces. If he divorces her for the second time and leaves until her waiting period is complete, she becomes stranger to him. If he arranges witness for his going back to her before her waiting period is complete she is then with him after two divorces and one more is left. If he divorces her for the third time she becomes stranger to him and is not lawful for him until she marries another man. She inherits him during the waiting period of the two previous divorces in which he had the right to go back to her.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from and Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu al-Hassan-asws, about the case of a man who divorces his wife in the presence of two just witness after going to bed with her. He-asws said. ‘It is not divorce,’ I then asked saying, ‘I pray to Allah-azwj to keep my soul in service for your cause, how is divorce according to Sunnah? He-asws said, ‘He divorces her after she becomes clean of Hayd (menses) in the presence of two just witnesses before going to bed with her as Allah-azwj has said in His book. (65:2) If it is against what Allah-azwj has said it must be returned to the book of Allah-azwj.’ I then asked. ‘What happens if he divorces, in the presence of one witness and two women, during a Hayd (menses)- which he has not gone to bed with her?’ He-asws said, ‘Witnessing of women is not permissible in the case of divorce, however, it can be accepted along with other witnesses in man-slaughter case if she is present.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if two Nasibiy men (people hostile to ‘A ‘immah-asws) bear witness in the case of divorce, is it a divorce?’ He-asws said, ‘Whoever is bom on al-Filrah (proper belief) his testimony is accepted in the case of divorce after it is known that he does aood deeds.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ibn ‘Udhaynah from ibn Bukayr and others who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws, has stated this Hadith. ‘The divorce which Allah-azwj, in His book has commanded lo be formed and that which the Messenger of Allah-saww, O Allah-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad-saww and his family-asws worthy of their services to Your cause, has established is that the man must remain away from the woman. When she experiences Hayd (menses) and becomes clean of her Hayd (menses), he must arrange two just witnesses for one divorce when she is clean of Hayd (menses) and sexual intercourse has not taken place. He has the right to go back to her as long as three menses cycles have not expired. Divorce other than being in this manner is invalid and is not a divorce.’

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Jamil ibn Darraj from Zurarah from Abi Ja’far-asws who has said the following: ‘Divorce according to Simnah takes place when the woman is clean of Hayd (menses) and is divorced in her place in the presence of witnesses without sexual intercourse. If he decides to go back to her he must arrange for witness to his going back (reversing his pronouncement of divorce).’

Humayd ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following:
‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has said that ‘Amir al-Mu’minin-asws has said, ‘If a man decides to divorce he must do so before her waiting period without sexual intercourse. If he divorces once then leaves until her waiting period is complete, he then can be one of those who may propose marriage if he so wills. If he goes back to her before waiting period is complete or afterward, she can live with him after one divorce. If he divorces a second time also he then proposes marriage as others may do, in case he did not go back before the end of waiting period, if he wants he can go back to her if he so wills before waiting period is complete and if he did then she is with him after two divorces. If he divorces her for the third time then she is not lawful for him before marriage with another man. She inherits and is inherited if one of them dies as long as she experiences Hayd (menses) after the two first divorces.’

Divorce is when one just before waiting period, after her becoming clean from Hard (menses) without sexual intercourse says, ‘Anti Taliq (you are let go, divorced) or ‘I’tady (commence waiting period) intending thereby Talaq (divorce) which must be in the presence of two witnesses.’

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from Muhammad ibn Ziyad from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following:
’Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, has said, ‘He (the husband) can send a message to his wife saying, ‘You must commence your waiting period because so and so has departed you.’
‘Ibn Sama’ah has said that the meaning of the words of the messenger, ‘You must commence your waiting period because so and so has departed you,’ is that he has divorced you because there is no departing without divorce. ‘Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from Ali ibn al-Hassan al-T’atriy who has said that what is unanimously agreed upon to say for divorce is to say, ‘Anti Taliq’ (you are let go, divorced) or ‘I’tadi’ (you must commence your waiting period). He has mentioned that he asked Muhammad ibn Hamzah about how to arrange witnesses for his word, Ttadi’ (you must commence your waiting period). He said that one must say, ‘Bear witness Ttadi’ (commence waiting period).’ Ibn Sama’ah has said, ‘Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah has made a mistake in saying, ‘Bear witness ‘ ‘I’tad (commence waiting period).’ Al-Hassan ibn Sama’ah has said that it is proper to come with witnesses to her place or take her to the witnesses to their homes and this is not possible to happen. Allah-azwj, does not make it obligatory on His slaves. Al-Hassan has said, ‘Divorce is nothing other than what Bukayr ibn ‘A’yan has narrated that one must say to her when she is clean of Hayd (menses) without sexual intercourse ‘Anti Taliq’ (you are let go) or ‘Itadi (commence waiting period) in the presence of two witnesses. All other expressions are invalid.’

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, has said, ‘Divorce three times in non-waiting period (without waiting period) if she is clean from Hayd (menses) counts as one, but if she is not clean of Hayd (menses) then it (divorce) does not have any valid effect.’

If he is ignorant (of the need for witness) and goes to bed with his wife, he must also appoint witness for what has happened; she still is his wife. If he had not done (pronounced divorce) in the presence of witnesses, his divorce as such does not have any valid effect.’

Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad from certain persons of his people from Aban from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:
‘About the case of a man who divorces his wife, abu Ja’far-asws, has said, ‘Although it is proper to arrange for witness about one’s going back to one’s wife before the expiration of waiting period, but if one is ignorant one should arrange for witness when he comes to know. However, I do not see any harm in what he has done. Many people, when in need of witnesses, at the time of marriage do not find witnesses for what has happened about their affair. I do not see anything harmful in it but if one finds witness it is better.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-Ala: from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:
‘I once asked one of the two Imam-asws (abu Ja’far-asws or abu ‘Abd Allah-asws), possessors of divine supreme covenant, about the case of a man who divorces his wife once. He-asws said, ‘He has the authority to go back to her before the expiration of waiting period.’ I then asked about if he does not arrange witnesses to his going back. He-asws said, ‘He must do so.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if he is not attentive to it?’ He-asws said. ‘He must find witness when he remembers; witness is because of inheritance.’

3- عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ أَشْهَدَ شَاهِدَيْنِ عَدْلَيْنِ فِي قُبُلِ عِدَّتِهَا فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا
Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ibn Idhaynah from Bukayr who has said the following:
‘I once heard abu Ja’far-asws saying, ‘If one divorces his wife in the presence of two just witnesses at a time when commencement of waiting period is possible, he then cannot divorce her before the end of waiting period unless he goes back to her.’

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan and Muhammad ibn Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu Ibrahim-asws, about the case of a man who divorces his wife in a Hayd (menses)-free period and without sexual intercourse; then goes back to her on the same day then divorces her with three divorces in one Havd (menses)-free period. He-asws said, ‘It is against Sunnah.’ I then asked. ‘Is it not the case that if he goes back to her to divorce her he must do so in a Hayd (menses)-free period?’ He-asws replied, ‘Yes, that is correct.’ I then said. ‘So that he can go to bed with her.’ He-asws said, ‘Yes, that is correct.’

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from Safwan from ibn Muskan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following:
‘Abu al-Hassan-asws has said, ‘Going back is going to bed with her, otherwise, it is only one divorce.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from abu Wallad al-Hannat who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, about the case of a woman who claims that her husband has divorced her once in the manner of divorce which requires a waiting period. That it has taken place in the presence of witnesses in a Hayd (menses)-free period and without going to bed, but the husband denies it. He-asws said, ‘If his denying is before the expiration of waiting period it is (his Ruju’) going back to her but if it is after the expiration of waiting period, then it is the task of the Imam to separate them from each other after establishing testimony and after oath. His denying after the expiration of waiting period places him in the position of one of those who may propose marriage with her.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Sa’d ibn Sa’d from al-Mamiban who has said the following:
‘I once asked al-Rida-asws‘ about the case of a man who says to his wife, ‘I’tad (you must commence waiting period); I have opened your way. In few days he arranges witness for his going back to her; then remains absent from her before going to bed with her until months pass from the waiting period or more. What do you command in the case?’ He-asws said, ‘Since he has arranged for witness about his going back to his wife, she is his wife.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu Najran from ‘Asem ibn Hainid from Muhammad ibn Qays from Abi Ja’far-asws who has said the following: ‘About the case of a man, who divorces his wife in the presence of two witnesses, and then arranges for witness about his going back to his wife privately without her knowledge. He asks the witnesses to keep it secret from her so she remains uninformed about his revoking the divorce until her waiting period is complete. Abu Ja’far-asws, has said, ‘She will have the choice to remarry him or someone else. If she marries before learning about the revocation of divorce for which witness was arranged by her husband, then the one who divorced her has no way to her and the other husband is more rightful in the case.’

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from more than one person from Aban from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘About the case of a man who divorces his wife one divorce, then leaves her for three months minus one day then revokes the divorce in a session then divorces her, then at the end of the third month does so again. He (the narrator) has said that one of the two Imam-asws (abu Ja’far-asws or abu ‘Abd Allah-asws), has said, if he has gone to bed she can count the waiting period from the last divorce; if he has divorced without going back then it does not have any valid effect.’

He-asws said, ‘I can inform you about the woman who was with me and I wanted to divorce her and how I did. I left her until she experienced Hayd (menses) and became clean of Hayd (menses). I divorced her in the presence of two witnesses without aoing to bed with her. I then left her until waiting period was almost to expire. I went back to bed with her and then left her until she experienced Hayd (menses) and became clean, I then divorced her in a Hayd (menses)-free period in the presence of two witnesses without going to be with her then left her until her waiting period was almost to expire. I then went back to go to bed with her until she experienced Hayd (menses) and became clean of her Hayd (menses). I then divorced her in a Hayd (menses)-free period in the presence of witnesses without going to bed with her. I did so with her because I was not interested in her.’

Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has said, ‘He can marry her forever as long as he does not go back and touch her.’ Ibn Bu-kayr and his companions were of this opinion and ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah narrated it to me that he asked, ‘On what basis do you say so?’ He replied, ‘I say so on the basis of Hadith narrated by Rifa’ah who has narrated from abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, that it destroys what is passed. He (the narrator) has said, that Rifa’ah has only said, ‘He divorced, then another man married her, then divorced; then the first man married her and this destroys the first ‘Talaq’ (divorce).’

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from Sama’ah from Muhammad ibn Ziyad and Safwan from Rifa’ah who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, about the case of a man who divorces his wife and she becomes stranger to him because of the expiration of her waiting period; then another man marries her who divorces her also; then she marries the first husband: if it destroys the first divorce. He-asws said, ‘Yes, it destroys the first divorce.’ Ibn Sama’ah has said that ibn Bukayr would say, ‘If a divorced woman is divorced by her husband. then leaves her until she becomes stranger to him, then marries her, she then can live with him on the basis of a new divorce. Ibn Sama’ah has said that al-Husayn ibn Hashim has mentioned that he asked ibn Bukayr who gave this answer and he then asked, ‘Have you heard anything about it?’ He replied, ‘No. it is what Allah-azwj, has granted in the form of opinion.’ Ibn Sama’ah has said, ‘We do not accept the words of ibn Bukayr; in fact Hadith says, ‘If there is a husband between them.’

Muhammad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Mu’awiyah ibn Hakam from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, about the case of a man who divorces his wife and leaves until she becomes stranger to him, then marries her. He-asws said, ‘She can live with him just as she did with marriage.’ I then said, ‘Hadith of Rifa’ah says, ‘If there is a husband in between.’ Then ‘Abd Allah-asws said to me, ‘This is husband and it is what Allah-azwj has granted of opinion. Whenever he divorces once and then she becomes stranger to him, then another man marries her then her husband divorces, then she marries the first husband she can live with him accepted as she was.’ I then asked ‘Abd Allah-asws, ‘According to whose Hadith is this?’ He-asws replied, ‘It is what Allah-azwj has granted.’ Mu’awiyah ibn Hukaym has said that our people have narrated from Rifa’ah ibn Musa that husband destroys the first divorce and if he marries her she lives with him accepted.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, then said, ‘Three divorces destroy but not one and two.’ Hadith of Rifa’ah from abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, is the one on the basis of which ibn Bukayr has argued.’
بَابُ الْغَائِبِ يَقْدَمُ مِنْ غَيْبَتِهِ فَيُطَلِّقُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَقَعُ الطَّلَاقُ حَتَّى تَحِيضَ وَ تَطْهُرَ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from al-Hajaj al-Khashshab who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws, about the case of a man who is on a journey and when he enters the city he brings two witnesses, and when his wife comes to the door he asks them to bear witness to the divorce. He-asws said, ‘Divorce does not take place in this way.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn al-Husayn has narrated from Hakam ibn Miskin from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following:
‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has said: ‘When a man is absent from his wife for one year or two years or more, then comes and wants to divorce her when she is experiencing Hayd (menses), he must leave her until she becomes clean, then divorce her.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following:

He sends a message to her informing her about his revoking the divorce before the expiration of waiting period without witnesses. He (the narrator) has said that he-asws said, ‘He has no way to her because he has confirmed divorce and has claimed revocation without witness, thus, he has no way to her. It is proper for one who divorces or revokes divorce to have witness about revocation like divorce. Had he been there before her marriage he could have been one of those who proposes to her for marriage.’

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has said, ‘Three kinds of women can marry in all conditions: a woman who does not experience Hayd (menses) and alike whom women do not experience Hayd (menses).’ He (the narrator) has said that I then asked, ‘What is her limit?’ He-asws said, ‘One who is less than nine years, one with whom he has not gone to bed and one after menopause and whose like do not experience Hayd (menses).’ I then asked, ‘What is the limit?’ He-asws said, ‘It is when she becomes fifty years old.’

Certain persons of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Safwan from Muhammad ibn Hakim from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:
‘I once heard abu Ja’far-asws saying, ‘A woman after menopause if divorced becomes stranger to him and she does not need to count a waiting period.’ It is also narrated that if sexual intercourse has taken place with them there is a waiting period for them.
-6حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ عِدَّةُ الَّتِي لَمْ تَبْلُغِ الْمَحِيضَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ الَّتِي قَدْ قَعَدَتْ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ كَانَ ابْنُ سَمَاعَةَ يَأْخُذُ بِهَا وَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ فِي الْإِمَاءِ لَا يُسْتَبْرَأْنَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنَّ بَلَغْنَ الْمَحِيضَ فَأَمَّا الْحَرَائِرُ فَحُكْمُهُنَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اللَّائِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِنْ نِسائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ اللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ وَ كَانَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ حُكَيْمٍ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ عِدَّةٌ وَ مَا احْتَجَّ بِهِ ابْنُ سَمَاعَةَ فَإِنَّمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ وَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ إِذَا وَقَعَتِ الرِّيبَةُ بِأَنْ قَدْ يَئِسْنَ أَوْ لَمْ يَئِسْنَ فَأَمَّا إِذَا جَازَتِ الْحَدَّ وَ ارْتَفَعَ الشَّكُّ بِأَنَّهَا قَدْ يَئِسَتْ أَوْ لَمْ تَكُنِ الْجَارِيَةُ بَلَغَتِ الْحَدَّ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ عِدَّةٌ
Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following:
‘Waiting period of those who do not experience Hayd (menses) and after menopause is three months and ibn Sama’ah would follow it. He would say it is about slave-girls. They do not need Istibra’ (quarantine) if they have not become mature. The rules for free women are in the Quran as Allah-azwj, says, ‘. after menopause if you have doubts their waiting period is three months and those who do not experience Hard (menses).’ Mu’awiyah ibn Hukaym would say, ‘They do not need to count waiting period and ibn Sama’ah’s argument is based on ‘if you doubt’ which is only when there is doubt about menopause. When she passes this limit and doubt is removed and that the girl has not reached the limit then wailing period does not apply to their case.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father ail from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajaj who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu al-Hassan-asws about the case of a man who marries a woman secretly in the house of her family. He wants to divorce her but cannot reach her to know about her Hayd (menses) and docs not know when she becomes clean of Hayd (menses). He-asws said, ‘This is like the case of a husband who is absent who divorces by counting new moon and months.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if he is able to reach her at certain times to find out about her Hayd (menses): how he should divorce her?’ He-asws said, ‘When a month, during which he is not able to reach her, passes he can divorce her when he finds himself in the beginning of the next month. He must write down about the month in which he has divorced and arrange for two men as witnesses. When three months pass she becomes stranger to him and he becomes one of those who can propose marriage. He. however, must pay her expenses for the three months in which she counted the waiting period.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘I once said to abu Ja’far-asws I pray to Allah-azwj to keep you well, a man has divorced his wife in Hayd (menses)-free period, in the presence of two just witnesses before going to bed with her. He-asws said, ‘When she experiences Hayd (menses) for the third time her wailing period is complete and she is lawful for marriage.’ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah-azwj to keep you well, people of Iraq narrate from Ali-asws, who has said that he has the right to go back to her before she takes Ghusl (bath) for the third Hayd (menses). He-asws said, ‘They have spoken a lie.’

Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr and A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn abu Nasr all from Jamil ibn Darraj from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws has said. ‘When a divorced woman experiences blood discharge of the third Hayd (menses) she becomes stranger to him.’

Ali has narrated from his father from ibn Bukayr and Jamil ibn Darraj and ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has said, ‘A woman divorced becomes stranger to her husband at the time of her experiencing the first drop of blood of Hayd (menses) for the third time (after divorce).’ I then said that Rabi’ah al-R’y also is of the opinion that she becomes stranger as soon as she experiences the first drop of blood.’ He-asws said, ‘It is not true. It is not his opinion but is something that has reached him from Ali-asws.’

It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Safwan from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah who has said the following;
‘I once asked abu Ja’far-asws I have heard that Rabi’ah al-Ra’iy says, ‘When a divorced woman experiences Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce she becomes stranger to him and that the Hayd (menses)-free period is between the two Hayd (menses)’ and he thinks that it is his own opinion,’ Abu Ja’far-asws said. ‘What he has said, by my life is not true because he has taken it from Ali-asws, I then asked, ‘What Ali-asws has said about it?’ He-asws said that he-asws (Imam Ali-asws) would say. ‘When she sees blood of the third Hayd (menses) (after divorce) her waiting period expires and he has no way to her and that Hayd (menses)-free period is between two Hayd (menses). She cannot marry before taking GhusI (bath) for the third Hayd (menses) (after divorce).’
‘Al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama’ah has said that Ja’far ibn Sama’ah would say. ‘A divorced woman becomes stranger to him with the first drop of blood of Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce. It is not lawful for her to many until she takes Ghusl (bath) because of Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce.’ Al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama’ah has said that she becomes stranger with the first drop of blood because of Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce and thereafter if she wants to marry she can do so or not to do so. Ali ibn Ibrahim has said that she can many if so she wants or not to do so but if she marries he must not go to bed with her before Ghusl (bath).’

Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from mu’alia’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu ‘Abd Allah who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws about the case of a woman who is divorced; when can she get the control of her affairs? He-asws said, ‘It happens when she sees Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if blood discharge begins earlier in her Hayd (menses)-free period?’ He-asws said, ‘If blood discharge is before ten days it is part of the previous Hayd (menses), thus he has the control of the affairs but if it is after ten days then it is of the third Hayd (menses) and she gets control of her affairs.’
11- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ أَظُنُّهُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ أَوْ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُطَلِّقُ امْرَأَتَهُ مَتَى تَبِينُ مِنْهُ قَالَ حِينَ يَطْلُعُ الدَّمُ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ تَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهَا قُلْتُ فَلَهَا أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ فِي تِلْكَ الْحَالِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ لَكِنْ لَا تُمَكِّنُ مِنْ نَفْسِهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ مِنَ الدَّمِ
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from certain persons of his people, I think he is Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Hilal or Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu Ja’far-asws about the case of a man who divorces his wife and about when she becomes stranger to him. He-asws said, ‘It is when blood of the third Hayd (menses) appears. She gets control of her own affairs.’ I then asked, ‘Can she marry in that condition?’ He-asws said, ‘Yes, but she must not allow him to approach her before she is clean of blood of Hayd (menses).’

‘I heard Rabi’ al-Ra’iy saying, ‘It is my opinion that al- ‘Iqra’ which Allah-azwj, has mentioned in the Quran is nothing but Hayd (menses)-free period between the two Hayd (menses).’ He-asws said, ‘He has spoken a lie. it is not his opinion. In fact it has reached him from Ali-asws, I then said, ‘I pray to Allah-azwj to keep you well, did Ali-asws say so?’ He-asws said, ‘Al-Qur’ means clean. Blood stops coming out and accumulates. During Hayd (menses) it is pushed out.’ (Al-Qur’ means accumulates and Hayd means flows).

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Sa’d ibn abu Khalaf who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu al-Hassan Musa ibn Ja’far-asws, something about divorce. He-asws said, ‘When a man divorces his wife in a manner because of which he cannot go back to her, she becomes stranger to him in the hour divorce is pronounced and she takes control of her affairs and he has no way to her. She can complete her waiting period where she wants. He does not owe her maintenance.’ He (the narrator) has said that I then said, ‘Does Allah-azwj, not say, ‘. . , do not send them out of their houses and they must not go out’? He-asws said, ‘It means she is divorced after being divorced. She is the one who must not be sent out of her house and must not go out of her house until the third divorce. When the third divorce is pronounced she becomes stranger to him and he does not owe her maintenance. A woman whom a man divorces once then leaves so that her waiting period is complete is (he kind of woman who must stay in the house of her husband and she must be paid maintenance and lodging until waiting period is complete.’

1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ يُسْتَرَابُ بِهَا وَ مِثْلُهَا تَحْمِلُ وَ مِثْلُهَا لَا تَحْمِلُ وَ لَا تَحِيضُ وَ قَدْ وَاقَعَهَا زَوْجُهَا كَيْفَ يُطَلِّقُهَا إِذَا أَرَادَ طَلَاقَهَا قَالَ لِيُمْسِكْ عَنْهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا
A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Barqiy from Dawud ibn abu Yazid al-‘Attar from certain persons of our people who have said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws about the case of a woman whose Hayd (menses) is confusing, when women like her become pregnant and also women like her do not become pregnant and do not experience Hayd (menses). Her husband has gone to bed with her and about how can he divorce her if he so wants. He-asws said, ‘He must hold back from her for three months then divorce her.’
بَابُ طَلَاقِ الَّتِي تَكْتُمُ حَيْضَهَا
Divorce of Women Who Hide Their Experiencing Hayd (menses)
1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ ع أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَاءِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْعَامَّةِ وَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا وَ قَدْ كَتَمَتْ حَيْضَهَا وَ طُهْرَهَا مَخَافَةَ الطَّلَاقِ فَكَتَبَ ع يَعْتَزِلُهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَ يُطَلِّقُهَا
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ja’far from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Kaysaii who has said the following:
‘I once wrote to the man-asws and asked about the case of a man who has a wife who is of ‘Ammah (the general population). He wants to divorce her but she hides her Hayd (menses) and Hayd (menses)-frce period for fear of divorce. He-asws wrote, ‘He can hold back from her for three months, then divorce her.’

A Woman who Experiences Hayd after Every Two or Three Months
1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ السَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عِنْدَهُ امْرَأَةٌ شَابَّةٌ وَ هِيَ تَحِيضُ كُلَّ شَهْرَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ حَيْضَةً وَاحِدَةً كَيْفَ يُطَلِّقُهَا زَوْجُهَا فَقَالَ أَمْرُهَا شَدِيدٌ تُطَلَّقُ طَلَاقَ السُّنَّةِ تَطْلِيقَةً وَاحِدَةً عَلَى طُهْرٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ جِمَاعٍ بِشُهُودٍ ثُمَّ تُتْرَكُ حَتَّى تَحِيضَ ثَلَاثَ حِيَضٍ مَتَى حَاضَتْ فَإِذَا حَاضَتْ ثَلَاثاً فَقَدِ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا قِيلَ لَهُ وَ إِنْ مَضَتْ سَنَةٌ وَ لَمْ تَحِضْ فِيهَا ثَلَاثَ حِيَضٍ قَالَ إِذَا مَضَتْ سَنَةٌ وَ لَمْ تَحِضْ ثَلَاثَ حِيَضٍ يُتَرَبَّصُ بِهَا بَعْدَ السَّنَةِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ ثُمَّ قَدِ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا قِيلَ فَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ مَاتَتْ فَقَالَ أَيُّهُمَا مَاتَ وَرِثَ صَاحِبُهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْراً
Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from ‘Ammar al-Sabatiy who has said the following:
‘Once abu ‘Abd Allah-asws was asked about the case of a man who has a young wife who experiences Hayd (menses) every two or three months after once and about how he can divorce her. He (the Imam) said, ‘Her case is difficult. He can divorce her according to Sunnah once in a Hayd (mcnses)-free period in the presence of witnesses and without going to bed; then leave her until she experiences Hayd (menses) three times whenever she experiences Hayd (menses). When she experiences three Hayd (menses) her waiting period is complete.’ It then was asked, ‘What happens if one year passes and she does not experience Hayd (menses)?’ He-asws said, ‘If one year passes and she does not experience three Hayd (menses) he waits three months after that (one year) time then her waiting period expires. It then asked, ‘What happens if he or she dies?’ He-asws said, ‘Whoever dies, the living one inherits the deceased one from that day up to fifteen months.’
بَابُ عِدَّةِ الْمُسْتَرَابَةِ
Waiting Period of a Woman whose Hayd is Confused
1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ أَمْرَانِ أَيُّهُمَا سَبَقَ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ الْمُطَلَّقَةُ الْمُسْتَرَابَةُ تَسْتَرِيبُ الْحَيْضَ إِنْ مَرَّتْ بِهَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ بِيضٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا دَمٌ بَانَتْ بِهِ وَ إِنْ مَرَّتْ بِهَا ثَلَاثُ حِيَضٍ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ الْحَيْضَتَيْنِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ بَانَتْ بِالْحَيْضِ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ جَمِيلٌ وَ تَفْسِيرُ ذَلِكَ إِنْ مَرَّتْ بِهَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ إِلَّا يَوْماً فَحَاضَتْ ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ بِهَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ إِلَّا يَوْماً فَحَاضَتْ ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ بِهَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ إِلَّا يَوْماً فَحَاضَتْ فَهَذِهِ تَعْتَدُّ بِالْحَيْضِ عَلَى هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَ لَا تَعْتَدُّ بِالشُّهُورِ وَ إِنْ مَرَّتْ بِهَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ بِيضٍ لَمْ تَحِضْ فِيهَا فَقَدْ بَانَتْ
Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws has stated this Hadith. ‘In the case of a woman whose Hayd (menses) is confusing, of the two issues whichever comes first marks a woman’s becoming stranger to her husband. One is passing of three months without any blood discharge and taking place of three Hayd (menses) the two of which are not three months apart from each other.’ According to ibn abu ‘Umayr Jamil has made this statement, ‘It can be explained as follows: If three months one day less pass and she experiences Hayd (menses) then three months one day less pass and she experiences Hayd (menses) then three months one day less pass and she experiences Hayd (menses), she counts waiting period with Hayd (menses) in this way. She does not count by months. If three months pass without blood discharge for three months and she does not experience Hayd (menses) she then becomes stranger to her husband.’
2- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ عَبْدٍ صَالِحٍ ع قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ الْجَارِيَةُ الشَّابَّةُ الَّتِي لَا تَحِيضُ وَ مِثْلُهَا تَحْمِلُ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا قَالَ عِدَّتُهَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ
A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr al-Bazantiy from ‘Abd al-Karim from Muhammad ibn Hakim who has said the following:
‘I once asked the virtuous servant of Allah-asws about the case of a young girl who does not experience Hayd (menses) when girls like her become pregnant and her husband has divorced her. He-asws said, ‘Her waiting period is three months.’
3- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ عِدَّةُ الَّتِي لَمْ تَحِضْ وَ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ الَّتِي لَا تَطْهُرُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عِدَّةُ الَّتِي تَحِيضُ وَ يَسْتَقِيمُ حَيْضُهَا ثَلَاثَةُ قُرُوءٍ وَ الْقُرُوءُ جَمْعُ الدَّمِ بَيْنَ الْحَيْضَتَيْنِ
Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Ahmad from ‘Abd al-Karim from abu Basir who has said the following:
‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has said, ‘Waiting period of a woman who does not experience Hayd (menses) and the one who experiences Istihadah who does not be become clean is three months. Waiting period of one whose Hayd (menses) is straight is three Quru’ (Hayd free periods). Al-Quru’ (Hayd free period) is the time of accumulation of blood between two Hayd (menses).’
4- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ الْكِنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الَّتِي تَحِيضُ كُلَّ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ مَرَّةً كَيْفَ تَعْتَدُّ قَالَ تَنْتَظِرُ مِثْلَ قُرْئِهَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَحِيضُ فِيهِ فِي الِاسْتِقَامَةِ فَلْتَعْتَدَّ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ ثُمَّ لْتَزَوَّجْ إِنْ شَاءَتْ
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Isma’l from Muhammad ibn ai-Fudayl from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaniy who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws about the case of a woman who experiences Hayd (menses) once every three months: if she needs to count a waiting period. He-asws said. ‘She must wait for a period of time equal to that when she experienced Hayd normally; thus she counts her waiting period for three Hayd-free periods. Thereafter she can marry if she so wants.’
5- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي الَّتِي تَحِيضُ فِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ مَرَّةً أَوْ فِي سِتَّةٍ أَوْ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَبْلُغِ الْحَيْضَ وَ الَّتِي تَحِيضُ مَرَّةً وَ تَرْتَفِعُ مَرَّةً وَ الَّتِي لَا تَطْمَعُ فِي الْوَلَدِ وَ الَّتِي قَدِ ارْتَفَعَ حَيْضُهَا وَ زَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَيْأَسْ وَ الَّتِي تَرَى الصُّفْرَةَ مِنْ حَيْضٍ لَيْسَ بِمُسْتَقِيمٍ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّ عِدَّةَ هَؤُلَاءِ كُلِّهِنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from AH ibn al-Hakarn from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:
‘One of the two Imam-asws (abu Ja’far-asws or abu ‘Abd Allah-asws) has said that the waiting period for women of the following condition is three months. Of such women is one who experiences Hayd (menses) once every three, six or seven months. Another is one who experiences Istihadah and has not reach the age of experiencing Hayd (menses) also one who experiences Hayd (menses) in one month but not in the other month as well as one who has no hope to have a child. Another is one in her menopause who thinks that she is not of such age and the one who sees a yellowish discharge whose Hayd (menses) is not straight.’
6- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ يُطَلِّقُهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ هِيَ تَحِيضُ كُلَّ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ حَيْضَةً فَقَالَ إِذَا انْقَضَتْ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا يُحْسَبُ لَهَا لِكُلِّ شَهْرٍ حَيْضَةٌ
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Shu’ayb from abu Basir who has said the following:
‘About the case of a woman who is divorced and experiences Hayd (menses) once every three months, abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has said, ‘When three months are over her waiting period is complete. For every month he counts for her one Hayd (menses).’
7- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَتْ وَ طَهُرَتْ وَ هِيَ امْرَأَةٌ لَا تَرَى دَماً مَا دَامَتْ تُرْضِعُ مَا عِدَّتُهَا قَالَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ
Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu Nasr, from Dawud ibn al-IIusayn, from abu al-‘Abbas who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws about the case of a man who divorces his wife after childbirth and her becoming clean and she is a woman who does not experience Hayd (menses) as long as she breastfeeds and about how much is her waiting period. He-asws said, ‘It is three months.’
8- عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ عِدَّةُ الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي لَا تَحِيضُ وَ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ الَّتِي لَا تَطْهُرُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عِدَّةُ الَّتِي تَحِيضُ وَ يَسْتَقِيمُ حَيْضُهَا ثَلَاثَةُ قُرُوءٍ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ مَا الرِّيبَةُ فَقَالَ مَا زَادَ عَلَى شَهْرٍ فَهُوَ رِيبَةٌ فَلْتَعْتَدَّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَ لْتَتْرُكِ الْحَيْضَ وَ مَا كَانَ فِي الشَّهْرِ لَمْ تَزِدْ فِي الْحَيْضِ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ حِيَضٍ فَعِدَّتُهَا ثَلَاثُ حِيَضٍ
Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman from al-Halabiy who has said the following:
‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has said, ‘The waiting period of a woman who does not experience Hayd (menses) and one who experiences Istihadah which does not become clean for three months, their waiting period is three months. Waiting period of a woman whose Hayd is straight is three Hayd-free periods.’ I then asked about the meaning of the words of Allah-azwj, ‘… if you have doubt.’ He-asws said, ‘This ‘doubt’ is about what is more than one month, thus, she counts her waiting period for three months and ignores Hayd. Whatever of Hayd is in a month which does not increase in Hayd & waiting period is three cycles of Hayd.’
9- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ أَيُّ الْأَمْرَيْنِ سَبَقَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَدِ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا إِنْ مَرَّتْ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ لَا تَرَى فِيهَا دَماً فَقَدِ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا وَ إِنْ مَرَّتْ ثَلَاثَةُ أَقْرَاءٍ فَقَدِ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn AJi ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘One of the two Imam-asws (abu Ja’far-asws or abu ‘Abd Allah-asws) has stated this Hadith. ‘Of the two issues whichever comes first, it marks the end of her waiting period: one is passing of three months in which she does not see Hayd (menses), thus her waiting period ends. If three Hayd-free periods pass this also marks the end of her waiting period.’
10- مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ إِذَا نَظَرَتْ فَلَمْ تَجِدِ الْأَقْرَاءَ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ لَا يَسْتَقِيمُ لَهَا حَيْضٌ تَحِيضُ فِي الشَّهْرِ مِرَاراً فَإِنَّ عِدَّتَهَا عِدَّةُ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ إِذَا كَانَتْ تَحِيضُ حَيْضاً مُسْتَقِيماً فَهُوَ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ حَيْضَةٌ بَيْنَ كُلِّ حَيْضَتَيْنِ شَهْرٌ وَ ذَلِكَ الْقُرْءُ
Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘He-asws has said, ‘If she waits and does not find the Hayd (menses)-free period except three months then if her Hayd (menses) is not straight. If she experiences Hayd in a month several times such woman’s waiting period is like the waiting period of one who experiences Istihadah, whose ‘Iddah (waiting period) is three months. If she experiences Hayd straightly, thus, in every month is one Hayd and between two Hayd (menses) one month of time it is the Hayd-free period.’
11- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ شَعِرٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي امْرَأَةٍ طُلِّقَتْ وَ قَدْ طَعَنَتْ فِي السِّنِّ فَحَاضَتْ حَيْضَةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ حَيْضُهَا فَقَالَ تَعْتَدُّ بِالْحَيْضَةِ وَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُسْتَقْبِلَيْنِ فَإِنَّهَا قَدْ يَئِسَتْ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Yazid ibn Ishaq Sha’ir from Harun ibn Hamzah who has said the following:
‘About the case of a woman who is divorced and is old but experiences Hayd (menses) once then her Hayd stops, abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has said, ‘She must count her waiting period for one Hayd and two months in future because she has reached menopause.’
بَابُ أَنَّ النِّسَاءَ يُصَدَّقْنَ فِي الْعِدَّةِ وَ الْحَيْضِ
The Words of Women are Accepted in Matters of Hayd

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Jamil from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws has said, ‘Waiting period and Hayd (menses) are for women. If they say something about it their words are accepted,’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from all from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following:
‘I once heard abu Ibrahim-asws saying, ‘If one divorces his wife and she claims to be pregnant, he must wait for nine months if she gives birth, otherwise, she counts a waiting period of three months.’
2- حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ الشَّابَّةُ الَّتِي تَحِيضُ مِثْلُهَا يُطَلِّقُهَا زَوْجُهَا فَيَرْتَفِعُ طَمْثُهَا كَمْ عِدَّتُهَا قَالَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهَا ادَّعَتِ الْحَبَلَ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ عِدَّتُهَا تِسْعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهَا ادَّعَتِ الْحَبَلَ بَعْدَ تِسْعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ إِنَّمَا الْحَبَلُ تِسْعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قُلْتُ تَزَوَّجُ قَالَ تَحْتَاطُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهَا ادَّعَتْ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ لَا رِيبَةَ عَلَيْهَا تَزَوَّجُ إِنْ شَاءَتْ
Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Satna’ah from Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah from Muhammad ibn Hakim who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu al-Hassan-asws about the case of a woman who is young and other women like her experience Hayd (menses). She is divorced: then her Hayd stops. How long is her waiting period? He-asws said, ‘It is three months.’ I then asked that she has claimed to be pregnant after three months. He-asws said, ‘Her waiting period is nine months.’ I then said that after nine months she has claimed to be pregnant. He-asws said, ‘Pregnancy is for nine months.’ I then asked, ‘Can she marry?’ He-asws said, ‘She must observe precaution for three months.’ I then said that after three months she has claimed.

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah and Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al Jabbar from Safwan from Muhammad ibn Hakim who has said the following:
‘I once asked the virtuous servant-asws about the case of a woman who is young and women like her experience Hayd (menses). Her husband divorces her and her Hayd stops. How long is her waiting period? He-asws said, ‘It is three months.’ I then said that she after three months became married and after going with her husband it was found that she is pregnant. He-asws said. ‘This cannot happen. O ibn Hakim. Stoppage of Hayd is because of two reasons. It is because of disorder in Hayd in which case husbands were lawful for her, but she was not pregnant or that she is pregnant in which case it becomes apparent in three months because Allah-azwj, most Majestic. most Glorious, has set a time for it in which lime pregnancy becomes apparent.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if she has any doubts?’ He-asws said, ‘Her ‘Iddah (waiting period) is nine months.’ I then said that she after nine months has doubts. He-asws said, ‘Pregnancy is for nine months only.’ I then asked if she could marry. He-asws said, ‘She must observe precaution for three months.’ I then said that she has doubts after three months.’ He-asws said, ‘There is no doubt in her case, so she can marry if she wants.’

He-asws said. ‘There is a waiting for her for nine months.’ I then said, ‘She has claimed to be pregnant after that. He-asws said, ‘This is far from reality. Hayd (menses) stops for two reasons, because of a clear pregnancy or disorder in Havel. However, she can remain cautious for three months thereafter.’ ‘He (the narrator) also asked about a woman who experienced Hayd and then it stopped after one year and about how she is divorced. He-asws said, ‘She is divorced in the presence of witnesses.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaniy who has said the following:
’Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has said, ‘If a man divorces his pregnant wife he must pay for her maintenance until childbirth. When she gives birth, he must pay her wages without causing any harm to her, unless he finds someone who breast feeds for less. If she also agrees for less then she has the priority to have her son until weaning.’

Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following:
‘A pregnant divorcee must receive her maintenance until childbirth, and she has the priority to breastfeed the child for wages equal to what another woman asks. Allah-azwj most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, ‘A mother must not be harmed because of her child or the father because of the child and the heirs also bear such responsibility.’ (2:232) He-asws said, ‘A woman (from us) would raise her hand before her husband, when he wanted to go to bed with her, and say, ‘ i do not want to allow you because I fear of becoming pregnant with my child.’ The man would say, ‘I do not want to go to bed with you because for fear of your suspension and I kill my child. Allah-azwj prohibited a woman’s harming a man or a man’s harming a woman’ and His words ‘. . , the heirs also bear the same responsibility is a prohibition against harming the child or his mother in breastfeeding. She must not charge for breastfeeding for more than two complete years. If they with mutual agreement wean the child before such time, it is fine.’

An affluent man or one who is not affluent, each must benefit according to their abilities. During the waiting period, however, why he should not benefit her when she is in waiting period and hopes for him as well as he hopes for her that Allah-azwj, as He wills, may make something happen for them?’ He-asws said, ‘If a man is affluent he benefits his wife with servants and a not-so-affluent one benefits with wheat [and barley], raisins, clothes and dirham. Al-Hassan ibn Ali-asws benefited his wife with slave-girl. He-asws benefited all the women that he divorced.’

‘About the words of Allah-azwj. ‘ . . , divorced women must be benefited with fairness; it is a right on the pious ones’, abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has stated this Hadith. ‘It is after the end of waiting period, and about, ‘an affluent man and one not-so-affluent each according to their abilities’, he-asws said, ‘Why should he not benefit her during her waiting period when she hopes and he hopes that Allah-azwj by His will may make something good to happen for them? An affluent man must benefits his woman with servant and one not affluent, benefit with wheat, (dates), raisins, clothes and dirham. Al-Hassan ibn Ali-asws benefited the woman he divorced with slave-girl. He-asws benefited all the women he divorced.’

She must give back half of the price of the day it was given to her regardless of any increase or decrease.’
14- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُعْتِقُ أَمَتَهُ فَيَجْعَلُ عِتْقَهَا مَهْرَهَا ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا قَالَ تَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ نِصْفَ قِيمَتِهَا تُسْتَسْعَى فِيهَا
Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith the following is narrated:
‘About the case of a man who sets his slave-girl free then sets her freedom as her mahr (dower) then divorces before going to bed with her. He-asws said, ‘She must return one-half of her price and must work to pay the rest.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following:
‘Abu ‘Abd Allah-asws has said, ‘Touching women is falling upon them (going to bed with them).’

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws about the case of a man who marries a woman, closes the door, pulls the curtains, touches and kisses her; then divorces: if mahr (dower) becomes obligatory. He-asws said, ‘Mahr (dower) becomes obligatory only after sexual intercourse.’
6- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلَهُ أَبِي وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فَأُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَمَسَّهَا وَ لَمْ يَصِلْ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى طَلَّقَهَا هَلْ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةٌ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا الْعِدَّةُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ قِيلَ لَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ وَاقَعَهَا فِي الْفَرْجِ وَ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَدْخَلَهُ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ وَ الْمَهْرُ وَ الْعِدَّةُ

He-asws said, ‘Waiting period is because of fluid discharge.’ It was asked, ‘What happens if there is sexual intercourse without semen discharge?’ He-asws said, ‘If he inserts it Ghusl (bath), mahr (dower) and waiting period become obligatory.’
7- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُطَلِّقُ الْمَرْأَةَ وَ قَدْ مَسَّ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُجَامِعْهَا أَ لَهَا عِدَّةٌ فَقَالَ ابْتُلِيَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُوهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع إِذَا أَغْلَقَ بَاباً وَ أَرْخَى سِتْراً وَجَبَ الْمَهْرُ وَ الْعِدَّةُ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ اخْتَلَفَ الْحَدِيثُ فِي أَنَّ لَهَا الْمَهْرَ كَمَلًا وَ بَعْضُهُمْ قَالَ نِصْفُ الْمَهْرِ وَ إِنَّمَا مَعْنَى ذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْوَالِيَ إِنَّمَا يَحْكُمُ بِالْحُكْمِ الظَّاهِرِ إِذَا أَغْلَقَ الْبَابَ وَ أَرْخَى السِّتْرَ وَجَبَ الْمَهْرُ وَ إِنَّمَا هَذَا عَلَيْهَا إِذَا عَلِمَتْ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا فَلَيْسَ لَهَا فِيمَا بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا نِصْفُ الْمَهْرِ
Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws about the case of a man who divorces a woman whom he has touched without sexual intercourse if waiting period is obligatory. He-asws said. ‘Abu Ja’far-asws had faced such a condition and his father, Ali ibn al-Husayn-asws said, ‘When doors are closed and curtains are pulled down mahr (dower) and waiting period become necessary.’
Ibn abu ‘ Umayr has said that Ahadith are not the same about this issue if mahr (dower) is complete or not. Certain ones have said that it is one-half of mahr (dower) and it means that a judge rules according to apparent condition of a case. When the doors are closed and curtains arc pulled down mahr (dower) becomes obligatory. It is up to her when she knows before Allah-azwj that he has not touched then she deserves only half of rnahr (dower).’
8- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الرَّجُلُ يَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ فَيُرْخِي عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهَا السِّتْرَ وَ يُغْلِقُ الْبَابَ ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا فَتُسْأَلُ الْمَرْأَةُ هَلْ أَتَاكِ فَتَقُولُ مَا أَتَانِي وَ يُسْأَلُ هُوَ هَلْ أَتَيْتَهَا فَيَقُولُ لَمْ آتِهَا فَقَالَ لَا يُصَدَّقَانِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَدْفَعَ الْعِدَّةَ عَنْ نَفْسِهَا وَ يُرِيدُ هُوَ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ الْمَهْرَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ يَعْنِي إِذَا كَانَا مُتَّهَمَيْنِ
A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Ri’ab from abu Basir who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, asws, about the case of a man who marries a woman; then pulls the curtains down upon himself and on her and closes the door; then divorces her and the woman is asked, ‘Did he come to you? She says, ‘No, he did not come to me.’ He then is asked. ‘Did you go to her?’ He says, ‘No. I did go to her.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Their words are not accepted because she wants to avoid waiting period from herself and he wants to avoid mahr (dower), meaning when they are accused.’
9- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ فَيَدْخُلُ بِهَا فَيُغْلِقُ بَاباً وَ يُرْخِي سِتْراً عَلَيْهَا وَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا وَ تُصَدِّقُهُ هِيَ بِذَلِكَ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةٌ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْءٌ دُونَ شَيْءٍ قَالَ إِنْ أَخْرَجَ الْمَاءَ اعْتَدَّتْ يَعْنِي إِذَا كَانَا مَأْمُونَيْنِ صُدِّقَا
Abu All al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu al-Hassan-asws about the case of a man who marries a woman then goes to her, closes the door, pulls down the curtain on her and thinks that he has not touched her and she also confirms his words: if she must count waiting period. He-asws said, ‘No, it is not necessary.’ I then asked, ‘One thing is near the thing.’ He-asws said, ‘If fluid is discharged she must count waiting period but if they are trusted then their words are accepted.’

5- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ هُوَ غَائِبٌ مَتَى تَعْتَدُّ فَقَالَ يَوْمَ يَبْلُغُهَا وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ إِنَّ إِحْدَاكُنَّ كَانَتْ تَمْكُثُ الْحَوْلَ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ زَوْجُهَا وَ هُوَ غَائِبٌ ثُمَّ تَرْمِي بِبَعْرَةٍ وَرَاءَهَا
A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn abu Nasr from Rifa’ah who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah-asws about the case of a woman whose husband dies and he is absent and about when she must begin counting her waiting period. He-asws said, ‘It is from the day the news reaches her. The Messenger of Allah-saww, O Allah-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad-saww and his family-asws worthy of their services to four cause, said to women, ‘One of you would wait for one year, when her husband died and he was absent, hold back her carnal desires and throw it behind her.’
6- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ إِنْ مَاتَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا يَعْنِي وَ هُوَ غَائِبٌ فَقَامَتِ الْبَيِّنَةُ عَلَى مَوْتِهِ فَعِدَّتُهَا مِنْ يَوْمِ يَأْتِيهَا الْخَبَرُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً لِأَنَّ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْتِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً فَتُمْسِكَ عَنِ الْكُحْلِ وَ الطِّيبِ وَ الْأَصْبَاغِ
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad Ali ibn al-Hakarn from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws has stated this Hadith. ‘When a woman’s husband who is abseni dies and evidence is established about it, then her waiting period is counted from the day the news reaches her up to four months and ten days. She must begin mourning for him for four months and ten days, thus, she must stay away from musk, kohl, perfumes and dyes.’
7- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا تَعْتَدُّ حِينَ يَبْلُغُهَا لِأَنَّهَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَيْهِ
Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following:
‘Abu al-Hassan al-Rida-asws‘ has said, ‘A woman whose husband dies must begin counting her waiting period from the day the news reaches her as well as mourning for him.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Husayn ibn Sayf from Muhammad ibn Sulayman who has said the following:
‘I once asked abu Ja’far al-Thaniy-asws saying, ‘I pray to Allah-azwj to keep my soul in service for your cause, why is it that waiting period for a woman divorced three times, is three cycles of Hayd (menses) or three months, and the waiting period of a widow is four months and ten days’? He-asws said, ‘Waiting period for a woman divorced three times is passing of three Hayd (menses)-free periods. It is to ascertain a womb is free of child and pregnancy. About the waiting period of a widow Allah-azwj, has set a condition for and a condition against women. In the condition for them He does not hold them accountable and in the condition against them He has not done injustice to them. In the case of ‘ila’ (swearing not to go to bed with one’s wife) it is four months as Allah-azwj, says, ‘. . . for those who swear there is a four month waiting period.’ (2:226) He has not made it permissible for anyone in the case of ‘ila’ to wait more than four months because He, most Blessed, most High, knows that how long women can wait without going to bed and without men. The condition against women is in the case of the death of their husband in which case they must wait for four months and ten days. Thus He has taken from her when he dies as much as He has takes for her from him during his life time in the case of ‘ila’ as Allah-azwj, most Blessed, most High, says, ‘. . , they must wait for four months and ten days.’ He has not mentioned the ten days in waiting period except with four months. He knows that women can wait without men only for four months and without going to bed. For this reason He has set conditions for and against them.’

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khaiid and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama’ah who has said the following:
‘He-asws has said, ‘Waiting period for a pregnant widow is the one which ends last. If she is pregnant when four months end but her child is not yet born, then her waiting period ends when the child is born. If she gives birth before the end of four months and ten days, she must wait until the four months and ten days are complete and this is the longer of the two time periods.’
2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا تَنْقَضِي عِدَّتُهَا آخِرَ الْأَجَلَيْنِ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al -Hakam from Musa ibn Bukayr from Zurarah who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws has said, ‘Waiting period of a widow ends with the end of one of the two which ends last because she must sit in mourning for four months and ten days, while in divorce there is no mournin.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and a number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn abu Najran from ‘Asem ibn Hamid from Muhammad ibn Qays who has said the following:
‘Abu Ja’far-asws has said that ‘Amir al-Mu’minin-asws issued a judgment in the case of a pregnant widow who gave birth before the end of four months and ten days and married. The judgment said that she must be left alone and no one must propose to her for marriage until the longer of the two periods of time ends; and thereafter if her family wants they can give her in marriage or keep her, but if they choose to keep her they must return his (one who had married her) assets.’

It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Safwan ibn Yahya from ibn Muskan from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

If he has not gone to bed with her they must separate from each other and she must complete the remaining of the first waiting period and he is then one of those who may propose for marriage.’ It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Ja’far ibn Sama’ah and Ali ibn Khalid al-‘Aquliy from Karram from Muhammad ibn Muslim from abu Ja’far-asws a similar Hadith.

Before I commenced my mission a woman among you whose husband would die needed to hold back carnal desires and throw it behind her.’ She then would say, ‘I will not use comb, kohl, or dyes for one complete year.’ I have only commanded you to wait for four months and ten days; even then you do not remain patient not to use comb, kohl, dyes not to go out during the day and not to spend the night somewhere other than your home.’ She then asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah-saww, what must she do? There is a right that affects her.’ He-saww said, ‘She can go only after midnight and return when it is dark after sunset so that she is not spending the night somewhere other than her house.’ I then asked him-asws if she could perform al-Hajj. He-asws said, ‘Yes, she can do so.’
