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.’

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from all from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Aban from abu Basir from ‘Amr ibn Riyah who has said the following:

‘I once said to abu Ja’far^-asws, ‘Have you said that one who does not divorce according to the book and al-Sunnah his divorce is not valid?’ Abu Ja’far^-asws replied: ‘I have not said so (by my opinion), in fact, Allah^-azwj has said it. 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).

2-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ خَالَفَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رُدَّ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ السُّنَّةِ

‏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.

Muhammad ibn Ja’far abu al-‘ Abbas has narrated from Ayyub ibn Null from Safwan from Ya’qub ibn Shu’ayb who has said that I heard abu Basir saying the following:

‘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.’

15-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ مَنْ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثاً فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ وَ قَدْ رَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص طَلَاقَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ إِذَا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثاً وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ فَأَبْطَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَلِكَ الطَّلَاقَ ‏وَ قَالَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ خَالَفَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قَالَ لَا طَلَاقَ إِلَّا فِي عِدَّةٍ

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.’

18-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَهُ إِذْ مَرَّ بِهِ نَافِعٌ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَاحِدَةً وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عُمَرَ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ كَذَبْتَ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَا سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ طَلَّقْتُهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص ثَلَاثاً فَرَدَّهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَيَّ وَ أَمْسَكْتُهَا بَعْدَ الطَّلَاقِ فَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَا نَافِعُ وَ لَا تَرْوِ عَلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ الْبَاطِلَ

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.’

‘Once I was in the Masjid when Ali ibn al-Husayn^-asws came in but I could not recognise him properly; so I asked about him and I was told about his name so others and I stood up for him, we surrounded him^-asws and offered him^-asws greeting of peace. 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.’

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd ai-Jabbar, from Safwan ibn Yahya. A number of our people have narrated from Sah! ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn Yahya who has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad. 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.’

7-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ الطَّلَاقَ الَّذِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ الَّذِي سَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يُخَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَإِذَا حَاضَتْ وَ طَهُرَتْ مِنْ مَحِيضِهَا أَشْهَدَ رَجُلَيْنِ عَدْلَيْنِ عَلَى تَطْلِيقَةٍ وَ هِيَ طَاهِرٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ جِمَاعٍ وَ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِرَجْعَتِهَا مَا لَمْ تَنْقَضِ ثَلَاثَةُ قُرُوءٍ وَ كُلُّ طَلَاقٍ مَا خَلَا هَذَا فَبَاطِلٌ لَيْسَ بِطَلَاقٍ

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.’

8-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ طَلَاقُ السُّنَّةِ إِذَا طَهُرَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَلْيُطَلِّقْهَا وَاحِدَةً مَكَانَهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ جِمَاعٍ يُشْهِدُ عَلَى طَلَاقِهَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا أَشْهَدَ عَلَى الْمُرَاجَعَةِ

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.’

‘I once asked abu Ja’far^-asws. about the case of a man who says to his wife, ‘You are unlawful for me, you are stranger to me, you are cut off, you are free and your way is clear.’ He^-asws said, ‘All of such expressions do not have any valid effect in the form of divorce. 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.’

5-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَاحِدَةً قَالَ هُوَ أَمْلَكُ بِرَجْعَتِهَا مَا لَمْ تَنْقَضِ الْعِدَّةُ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُشْهِدْ عَلَى رَجْعَتِهَا قَالَ فَلْيُشْهِدْ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ غَفَلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَلْيُشْهِدْ حِينَ يَذْكُرُ وَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الشُّهُودُ لِمَكَانِ الْمِيرَاثِ

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.’

‘About the ease of a man who divorces his wife, abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws, has said, ‘He has the right to go back to his wife. Another divorce cannot take place unless he touches her (goes to bed with her).’

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.’

5-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ الرَّجْعَةُ الْجِمَاعُ وَ إِلَّا فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ وَاحِدَةٌ

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

1-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ الْخَشَّابِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْمِصْرَ جَاءَ مَعَهُ بِشَاهِدَيْنِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ عَلَى الْبَابِ أَشْهَدَهُمَا عَلَى طَلَاقِهَا قَالَ لَا يَقَعُ بِهَا طَلَاقٌ

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.’

2-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ إِذَا غَابَ الرَّجُلُ عَنِ امْرَأَتِهِ سَنَةً أَوْ سَنَتَيْنِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ ثُمَّ قَدِمَ وَ أَرَادَ طَلَاقَهَا وَ كَانَتْ حَائِضاً تَرَكَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا

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.’

2-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِطَلَاقِ خَمْسٍ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ الْغَائِبِ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ الَّتِي لَمْ تَحِضْ وَ الَّتِي لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ الْحُبْلَى وَ الَّتِي قَدْ يَئِسَتْ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ

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, ‘It is not unlawful to divorce five kinds of women in all conditions. They are those whose husbands are absent, those who do not experience Hayd (menses), women with whom one has not gone to bed, pregnant women, and those in their menopause.’

3-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ وَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ خَمْسٌ يُطَلَّقْنَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ الْحَامِلُ وَ الْغَائِبُ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ الَّتِي لَمْ تَحِضْ وَ الَّتِي قَدْ يَئِسَتْ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ وَ الَّتِي لَمْ يُدْخَلْ بِهَا  عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع مِثْلَهُ

After expiration of waiting period he comes and finds out that she has married another man. 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.’

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws, about the case of a man who has four wives, of whom he divorces one when he is absent from them. When is it permissible for him to marry?

‘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.’

3-  عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ وَ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ وَ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ الْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَبِينُ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ قَطْرَةٍ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَبِيعَةَ الرَّأْيِ قَالَ مِنْ رَأْيِي أَنَّهَا تَبِينُ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ قَطْرَةٍ فَقَالَ كَذَبَ مَا هُوَ مِنْ رَأْيِهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْ‏ءٌ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع

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.’

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Saf’wan from Ishaq ibn  ‘Ammar from ‘Isma’il al-Ju’fiy who has said the following:

‘I once said to abu Ja’far^-asws that a man has di-vorced his wife. He^-asws said, ‘He has the right to go back to her as long as she has not seen blood discharge because of Hayd (menses) for the third time (after divorce).’

5-  وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ الْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَرِثُ وَ تُورَثُ حَتَّى تَرَى الدَّمَ الثَّالِثَ فَإِذَا رَأَتْهُ فَقَدِ انْقَطَعَ

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

‘About the case of a woman who is divorced, one of the two Imam^-asws (abu Ja’far^-asws or abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws) has said, ‘She inherits and is inherited until she sees blood of Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce and when that happens it (such relation) is cut off.’

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws has said, ‘With first blood that she sees because of Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce she becomes stranger to him.’

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from Safwan from ibn Muskan from Zurarah a similar Hadith.

Safwan has narrated from ibn Bukayr from Zurarah who has said the following:

‘I once heard abu Ja’far^-asws saying, ‘A woman divorced becomes stranger to him with the first drop of blood because of Hayd (menses) during the last Hayd (menses)-free period.’

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).’

Meaning of al- ‘Iqra’ (Hayd-free period)

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurarah who has said the following:

‘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).

2-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ الْقُرْءُ هُوَ مَا بَيْنَ الْحَيْضَتَيْنِ

3-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ أَيْنَ تَعْتَدُّ قَالَ فِي بَيْتِهَا لَا تَخْرُجُ وَ إِنْ أَرَادَتْ زِيَارَةً خَرَجَتْ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَ لَا تَخْرُجُ نَهَاراً وَ لَيْسَ لَهَا أَنْ تَحُجَّ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا أَ كَذَلِكَ هِيَ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ تَحُجُّ إِنْ شَاءَتْ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama’ah ibn Mehran who has said the following:

‘I once asked him^-asws about the case of a woman who is divorced and about where she must complete her waiting period. He^-asws said, ‘She completes her waiting period in her house and must not go out. If she wants to visit she must go after midnight but not during the day. She does not have the right to perform al-Hajj until her waiting period is complete.’ I asked about one whose husband dies: if her case is the same. He^-asws said, ‘Yes, it is the same but she can perform al-Hajj if she wants.’

4-  عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ الْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَعْتَدُّ فِي بَيْتِهَا وَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تَخْرُجَ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا وَ عِدَّتُهَا ثَلَاثَةُ قُرُوءٍ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ تَحِيضُ

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.’

6-  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 تَعْتَدُّ الْمُطَلَّقَةُ فِي بَيْتِهَا وَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِزَوْجِهَا إِخْرَاجُهَا وَ لَا تَخْرُجُ هِيَ

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from ibn Ribat from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following:

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from Wuhayb ibn Hafs from abu Basir who has said the following:

‘About the case of a divorced woman, one of the two Imam^-asws (abu Ja’far^-asws or abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws) has said that she completes her waiting period in her house and she can beautify herself: perhaps Allah^-azwj brings about something thereafter.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from certain persons of his people who has said the following:

‘About the words of Allah^-azwj, ‘. . . you must not send them out of their homes and they must not go out except if they commit an open indecent act’, abu al-Hassan al-Rida^-asws‘ has said, ‘!t is a reference to her troubling the family of the man and her bad moral behavior.’

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

1-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ الْعِدَّةُ وَ الْحَيْضُ لِلنِّسَاءِ إِذَا ادَّعَتْ صُدِّقَتْ

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,’

بَابُ الْمُسْتَرَابَةِ بِالْحَبَلِ

A Woman Confused about Pregnancy

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. He^-asws said, ‘There is no doubt about her, so she can marry if she wants.’

AI-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Aban ibn Hakim who has said the following:

‘About the case of a woman who is divorced and she claims to be pregnant; so she waits for one year, abu Ibrahim^-asws or his father^-asws has said, ‘if she comes up with such claim after a year it is not accepted even if it is one hour more.’

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.’

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Muhammad ibn Hakim who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws or abu al-Hassan^-asws about the case of a man who divorces his wife and after three months she claims to be pregnant. 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.’

Maintenance of Pregnant Divorced Women

1-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ الْحَامِلُ أَجَلُهَا أَنْ تَضَعَ حَمْلَهَا وَ عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَتُهَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ حَتَّى تَضَعَ حَمْلَهَا

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu Najran from ‘Aseni ibn Hamid from Muhammad ibn Qays who has said the following:

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws has said, ‘Waiting period of a pregnant divorcee expires at childbirth and he must pay for her maintenance in fairness until childbirth.’

2-  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 إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى أَنْفَقَ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَضَعَ حَمْلَهَا فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْهُ أَعْطَاهَا أَجْرَهَا وَ لَا يُضَارَّهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَجِدَ مَنْ هُوَ أَرْخَصُ أَجْراً مِنْهَا فَإِنْ هِيَ رَضِيَتْ بِذَلِكَ الْأَجْرِ فَهِيَ أَحَقُّ بِابْنِهَا حَتَّى تَفْطِمَهُ

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.’

Muhammad ibn Yaliya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following:

‘About the case of a woman who is pregnant and is divorced, abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘Her waiting period ends with childbirth and he must pay for her maintenance until she gives birth.’

Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr has narrated from al-Bazantiy from ‘Abd al-Karim from al-Halabiy who has said the following:

‘About the words of Allah^-azwj most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘. . . divorced women have rights on the pious ones,’ (2:241) abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said. ‘It is benefiting her after her waiting period ends. 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.’

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from Sama’ah from Muhammad ibn Ziyad from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama’ah all from abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws who has said the following:

‘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.’

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from Muhammad ibn Ziyad from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws, a similar Hadith except that he has said, ‘Al-Hassan ibn Ali^-asws would benefit his women with slave-girls.’

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn abu Nasr from ‘Abd al-Karim from abu Nasr who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu Ja’f’ar^-asws about the words of Allah^-azwj, ‘. . . divorced women must be benefited with fairness. It is a right on the pious ones,’ and about what is the minimum of such benefits if one is not affluent. He^-asws said, ‘It is a scarf or similar things.’

He then counts the difference of the day of marriage which she must return to him, then he gives her one-half of what he has received back.’

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said that ‘Amir al-Mu’minin^-asws has said this. ‘If a woman marries for a woman as mahr (dower) who grows with her whereby her price increases or reduces, then he divorces her before going to bed with her. 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.’

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 has married a woman and has gone to bed with her. He^-asws said, ‘When the two organs meet mahr (dower) become obligatory.’

2-  عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ إِذَا الْتَقَى الْخِتَانَانِ وَجَبَ الْمَهْرُ وَ الْعِدَّةُ وَ الْغُسْلُ

Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hafs ibn al-Bakhtariy who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said. ‘When the two organs meet, mahr (dower), waiting period and Ghusl (bath) become obligatory.’

3-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ إِذَا أَوْلَجَهُ فَقَدْ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ وَ الْجَلْدُ وَ الرَّجْمُ وَ وَجَبَ الْمَهْرُ

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).’

5-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فَأَغْلَقَ بَاباً وَ أَرْخَى سِتْراً وَ لَمَسَ وَ قَبَّلَ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا أَ يُوجِبُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّدَاقَ قَالَ لَا يُوجِبُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّدَاقَ إِلَّا الْوِقَاعُ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from Yunus ibn Ya’qub who has said the following:

‘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

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following:

‘Abu Basir once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws when I was also there, about a man who marries a woman, goes to her but does not touch or approach her before divorcing if she needs to count waiting period. 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.’

Waiting period of Pregnant Widow and her Expenses

1-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ قَالَ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا الْحَامِلُ أَجَلُهَا آخِرُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ‏ إِذَا كَانَتْ حُبْلَى فَتَمَّتْ لَهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْرٌ وَ لَمْ تَضَعْ فَإِنَّ عِدَّتَهَا إِلَى أَنْ تَضَعَ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ تَضَعُ حَمْلَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتِمَّ لَهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْرٌ تَعْتَدُّ بَعْدَ مَا تَضَعُ تَمَامَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْرٍ وَ ذَلِكَ أَبْعَدُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ

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

Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Utnayr from Harnmad from al-Halabiy who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘Waiting period of a widow ends with the end of the longer of the two time periods.’

3-  عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي الْحُبْلَى الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا إِنَّهُ لَا نَفَقَةَ لَهَا

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, ‘A pregnant widow does not have any right for maintenance.’

4-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ عِدَّةُ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا آخِرُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ لِأَنَّ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ تُحِدَّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا فِي الطَّلَاقِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ

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.’

5-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَضَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِي امْرَأَةٍ تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى فَوَلَدَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْرٌ فَتَزَوَّجَتْ فَقَضَى أَنْ يُخَلِّيَ عَنْهَا ثُمَّ لَا يَخْطُبَهَا حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ آخِرُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَوْلِيَاءُ الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْكَحُوهَا وَ إِنْ شَاءُوا أَمْسَكُوهَا فَإِنْ أَمْسَكُوهَا رَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ مَالَهُ

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.’

6-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ الْحُبْلَى الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا عِدَّتُهَا آخِرُ الْأَجَلَيْنِ

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, ‘Waiting period of a pregnant widow ends with the end of the longer of the two time periods.’

7-  عَنْهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْمَرْأَةُ الْحُبْلَى الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا تَضَعُ وَ تَزَوَّجُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَخْلُوَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشَرٌ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ زَوْجُهَا الَّذِي تَزَوَّجَهَا دَخَلَ بِهَا فُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ اعْتَدَّتْ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عِدَّتِهَا الْأُولَى وَ عِدَّةً أُخْرَى مِنَ الْأَخِيرِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا فُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ اعْتَدَّتْ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عِدَّتِهَا وَ هُوَ خَاطِبٌ مِنَ الْخُطَّابِ وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْعَاقُولِيِّ عَنْ كَرَّامٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع مِثْلَهُ

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:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a pregnant widow who after childbirth marries before the end of four months and ten days. He^-asws said, ‘If the new husband has gone to bed with her he must stay away from her and she must complete the remaining time of the first waiting period and another waiting period for the later (separation). 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.

8-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ الْكِنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي الْمَرْأَةِ الْحَامِلِ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا هَلْ لَهَا نَفَقَةٌ قَالَ لَا

Muhammad ibn’Isma’il from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaniy who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a pregnant widow if she has the right for maintenance. He^-asws said, ‘No, she does not have such right.

9-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُثَنًّى الْحَنَّاطِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي الْمَرْأَةِ الْحَامِلِ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا هَلْ لَهَا نَفَقَةٌ قَالَ لَا وَ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً أَنَّ نَفَقَتَهَا مِنْ مَالِ وَلَدِهَا الَّذِي فِي بَطْنِهَا رَوَاهُ

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn abu Nasr from Muthanna’ al-Hannat from Zurarah who has said the following:

’About the case of a pregnant widow abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said that she does not have the right to receive maintenance.’ It is also nan’aied that her maintenance is from the assets of the child in her womb. [So he has narrated].

10-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ الْكِنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ الْمَرْأَةُ الْحُبْلَى الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا يُنْفَقُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ مَالِ وَلَدِهَا الَّذِي فِي بَطْنِهَا

If she wants to complete it in the house of her family she must not use kohl or wear ornaments.’

2-  أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَنِ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا فَقَالَ لَا تَكْتَحِلُ لِلزِّينَةِ وَ لَا تَطَيَّبُ وَ لَا تَلْبَسُ ثَوْباً مَصْبُوغاً وَ لَا تَبِيتُ عَنْ بَيْتِهَا وَ تَقْضِي الْحُقُوقَ وَ تَمْتَشِطُ بِغِسْلَةٍ وَ تَحُجُّ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ فِي عِدَّتِهَا

She can pay off rights, use hair clip and go for al-Hajj even though she is in her waiting period.’

3-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا أَ تَحُجُّ وَ تَشْهَدُ الْحُقُوقَ قَالَ نَعَمْ

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from ibn Bukayr from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah who has said the following:

4-  حُمَيْدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا قَالَ لَا تَكْتَحِلُ لِلزِّينَةِ وَ لَا تَطَيَّبُ وَ لَا تَلْبَسُ ثَوْباً مَصْبُوغاً وَ لَا تَخْرُجُ نَهَاراً وَ لَا تَبِيتُ عَنْ بَيْتِهَا قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَى حَقٍّ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ قَالَ تَخْرُجُ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَ تَرْجِعُ عِشَاءً

Humayd has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from ibn Ribat from ibn Muskan from abu al-‘Abbas who has said the following:

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.’

1-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع فِي رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ طَلَاقاً يَمْلِكُ فِيهِ الرَّجْعَةَ ثُمَّ مَاتَ عَنْهَا قَالَ تَعْتَدُّ بِأَبْعَدِ الْأَجَلَيْنِ أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from tbn abu ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj from certain persons of our people who has said the following:

‘This is about the case of a man who divorces his wife in a manner that gives him the right to go back to her, then he dies. One of the two Imam^-asws, (abu Ja’far^-asws or abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws) has said, ‘She must conn! her waiting period in the form of the longer period of time, which is four months and ten days.’

2-  عَنْهُ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا فِي الْمُطَلَّقَةِ الْبَائِنَةِ إِذَا تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا وَ هِيَ فِي عِدَّتِهَا قَالَ تَعْتَدُّ بِأَبْعَدِ الْأَجَلَيْنِ

It is narrated from the narrator of the previous hadith from certain persons of our people who has said the following:

‘About the case of a woman divorced irrevocably if’ her husband dies, he^-asws has said, ‘She must count her wailing period according to the longer of the two forms of waiting periods.’

3-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَضَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِي رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ وَ هِيَ فِي عِدَّتِهَا قَالَ تَرِثُهُ وَ إِنْ تُوُفِّيَتْ وَ هِيَ فِي عِدَّتِهَا فَإِنَّهُ يَرِثُهَا وَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا يَرِثُ مِنْ دِيَةِ صَاحِبِهِ مَا لَمْ يَقْتُلْ أَحَدُهُمَا الْآخَرَ وَ زَادَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ وَ تَعْتَدُّ عِدَّةَ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سَمَاعَةَ وَ هَذَا الْكَلَامُ سَقَطَ مِنْ كِتَابِ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ لَا أَظُنُّهُ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ رَوَاهُ

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 stated this Hadith. ‘Amir al-Mu’minin^-asws issued a judgment in the case of a man who divorced his wife; then died: when she counted her waiting period, that said, ‘She inherits his legacy, and if she dies during her waiting period he inherits her legacy, each one inherits from the wergild of the other, if one of them does not kill the other.’ Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah has added, ‘She counts her waiting period for a woman whoes husband has died.’ Al-Hassan ibn Sama’ah has said that this much is missing from the book of ibn Ziyad and I do not think except that he has narrated it.

4-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا يُنْفَقُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ مَالِهِ

Muhammad ibn Yahyahas narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from All ibn al-Hakam from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘About the case of’ a woman whose husband has died, one of the two Imam^-asws, (abu Ja’far^-asws or abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws), asws, has said that her maintenance must be paid from her husband’s assets.’

Muhammad ibu Yahya has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn abu ‘Urnayr from Hisham ibn Salim who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who divorces his wife and dies before the end of her waiting period. He^-asws said, ‘She must count her waiting period according to the longer of the two periods of time.’

6-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ وَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ طُلِّقَتْ ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا وَ لَمْ تَحْرُمْ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهَا تَرِثُهُ ثُمَّ تَعْتَدُّ عِدَّةَ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ إِنْ تُوُفِّيَتْ وَ هِيَ فِي عِدَّتِهَا وَ لَمْ تَحْرُمْ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَرِثُهَا

Ali ibn Ibrahim lias narrated from his father from ibn abu Najran and Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from ‘Asem ibn Hamid from Muhammad ibn Qays who has said the following:

‘I once heard abu Ja’far^-asws saying, ‘If a woman is divorced and her husband dies before her waiting period ends, when she has not become stranger to him, she inherits his legacy and must complete a waiting period for a widow. If she dies before the end of her waiting period when she has not become stranger to him, he inherits her legacy.’

Divorce and Marriage during one ‘s Illness

1-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمَرِيضِ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْحَالِ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ إِنْ شَاءَ فَإِنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا وَرِثَتْهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا فَنِكَاحُهُ بَاطِلٌ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ibn Bukayr from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who is ill: if he can divorce his wife in such condition. He^-asws said, ‘No, he cannot divorce, however, he can marry if he wants and if he goes to bed with her, she inherits his legacy but if he did not go to bed with her his marriage is invalid.’

2-  وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ رَبِيعٍ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءِ وَ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْوَرْدِ كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ إِذَا طَلَّقَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ تَطْلِيقَةً فِي مَرَضِهِ ثُمَّ مَكَثَتْ فِي مَرَضِهِ حَتَّى انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا فَإِنَّهَا تَرِثُهُ مَا لَمْ تَتَزَوَّجْ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ تَزَوَّجَتْ بَعْدَ انْقِضَاءِ الْعِدَّةِ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَرِثُهُ

Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith the following is narrated from ibn Mahbub from Rabi’ al-Asamm from abu ‘Ubaydah al-Hadhdha’ and Malik ibn ‘Atiyyah from abu al-Ward who both have said the following:

‘About the case of a man who divorces his wife once during his illness and waits until her waiting period ends she inherits him as long as she does not marry; but if she marries after her waiting period she then does not inherit his legacy.’

4-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا يَجُوزُ طَلَاقُ الْمَرِيضِ وَ يَجُوزُ نِكَاحُهُ

6-  وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هُوَ مَرِيضٌ تَطْلِيقَةً وَ قَدْ كَانَ طَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ تَطْلِيقَتَيْنِ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا تَرِثُهُ إِذَا كَانَ فِي مَرَضِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا حَدُّ الْمَرَضِ قَالَ لَا يَزَالُ مَرِيضاً حَتَّى يَمُوتَ وَ إِنْ طَالَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى السَّنَةِ

Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad from al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from his brother al-Hassan from Zur’ah ibn Muhammad from Sama’ah who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who divorces his wife when he is ill. He^-asws said that she inherits his legacy. She inherits him as long as she is in her wailing period. If he has divorced her in a condition that harms her, she inherits him up to one year; and if it is more than one year even by one day, then she does not inherit and she counts a waiting period for four months and ten days like the waiting period for a widow.’

10-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ تَطْلِيقَتَيْنِ فِي صِحَّةٍ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَ التَّطْلِيقَةَ الثَّالِثَةَ وَ هُوَ مَرِيضٌ إِنَّهَا تَرِثُهُ مَا دَامَ فِي مَرَضِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ إِلَى سَنَةٍ

12-  عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ لَيْسَ لِلْمَرِيضِ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ وَ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ فَإِنْ هُوَ تَزَوَّجَ وَ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَهُوَ جَائِزٌ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا حَتَّى مَاتَ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَنِكَاحُهُ بَاطِلٌ وَ لَا مَهْرَ لَهَا وَ لَا مِيرَاثَ

If he marries and goes to bed with her, it is permissible: and if he did not go to bed with her until he dies from that illness, his marriage is invalid and she does not have mahr (dower) or inheritance.’

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from ‘Ubays ibn Hisham and Salih ibn Khalid from Mansur ibn Yimus who has said the following:

‘I once asked Allah’s virtuous servant, asws, when he was in al-’Arid, (name of a place) saying, ‘! pray to Allah^-azwj to keep my soul in service for your cause, I married a woman who loved me. I then married the daughter of my maternal uncle and from the woman I had a son, I returned to Baghdad and divorced her once, then I went back to her, then divorced her for the second time, then I went back to her and then left for this journey. I arrived in al-Kufah to see the daughter of my maternal uncle, and my sister and maternal aunt told me that, by Allah^-azwj, I could never look at her until I divorced so and so. I then told them: ‘Fie on you: I have no way to divorce her.’ He said, ‘It is up to you and it is your problem.’ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah^-azwj to keep my soul in service for your cause. From her I had a daughter who lived in Baghdad and this is in al-Kufah; I had left her before four and they refused to allow me to see her unless I divorced her three times. No, by Allah^-azwj, I pray to Allah^-azwj to keep my soul in service for your cause, I did not want to do so except that I wanted to keep them away from myself, and my heart has become full (of disappointment with them). I pray to Allah^-azwj to keep my soul in service for your cause.’ He^-asws then bent down his head for a long time, then raised his head, smiling and said, ‘Between you and Allah^-azwj, there is no problem, however, if they take their case against you before the Sultan (ruling authorities) they can make her to become stranger to you.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Yahya ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Hassan who has said the following:

‘I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws saying, ‘Divorce under coercion is not permissible or setting free of a slave. It is not permissible to swear for cutting off good relations with relatives or for a sinful act in disobedience to Allah^-azwj. Thus, whoever swears or is made to swear about something of this kind, it does not have any valid effect on him. Divorce is what is meant to be divorce, and without coercion or harming in a divorce in the manner of waiting period, according to the Sunnah, in a Hayd (menses)-free period, without sexual intercourse and is pronounced in the presence of two witnesses. If one opposes this, his divorce and oath do not have any valid effect and it is relumed to the book of Allah^-azwj.’

5-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَمُرُّ بِالْعَشَّارِ وَ مَعِي مَالٌ فَيَسْتَحْلِفُنِي فَإِنْ حَلَفْتُ لَهُ تَرَكَنِي وَ إِنْ لَمْ أَحْلِفْ لَهُ فَتَّشَنِي وَ ظَلَمَنِي فَقَالَ احْلِفْ لَهُ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْتَحْلِفُنِي بِالطَّلَاقِ فَقَالَ احْلِفْ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ فَإِنَّ الْمَالَ لَا يَكُونُ لِي قَالَ فَعَنْ مَالِ أَخِيكَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص رَدَّ طَلَاقَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَ قَدْ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثاً وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ فَلَمْ يَرَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ شَيْئاً

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al -Hakam from Mu’awiyah ibn Wabab from ‘Isma’il al-Ju’fiy who has said the following:

‘I pass by one-tenth tax collector for trading with a certain amount of assets with me and the party (tax collector) asks me to swear. If I swear he allows me to go, but if I do not swear he searches my assets and does injustice to me. He^-asws said, ‘You can swear for him.’ I then said, ‘He asks me to swear in the issue of divorce. He^-asws said, ‘You can swear for him.’ I said, ‘The asset does not belong to me.’ He^-asws said, ‘Do it for the assets of your brother. The Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause, reversed the divorce of ibn ‘Umar, who had divorced his wife three limes during her menses and the Messenger of Allah^-saww considered it invalid, of no valid effect.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from 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 is mute, does not speak and has a wife. He^-asws asked, Is he speechless?’ I replied, ‘Yes, he is speechless and it is seen that he hates his wife and dislikes her. Is it permissible for his guardian to divorce on his behalf?’ He^-asws said, ‘No, it is not permissible, however, he can write and arrange for witnesses for it.’ I then said. ‘He cannot write or speak, how can he divorce?’ He^-asws said, ‘It then is done by what is understood from him in the form of his deeds like what you mentioned that he hates and dislikes his wife.’

Ali has narrated from his father from ‘Isma’il ibn Marrar from Yunus from a speechless man who wrote on the ground the divorce for his wife.

He^-asws said, ‘If he has done so during a Hayd (mcnses)-free period in the presence of witnesses and it is understood from him as it is understood from people like him who decide to divorce, his divorce is permissible according to Sunnah.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Burayd ibn Mu’awiyah who has said the following:

‘I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws state this Hadith. ‘If a man swears not to go to bed with his wife, not to touch her and not to place his head next to her head, he then has the choice before passing of four months. When four months pass he then must be taken in custody to reach a settlement and go to bed with her, or decide to divorce, thus, he must leave her until she experiences Hayd (menses) and becomes clean from Hayd (menses), then divorce her once before going to bed with her and in the presence of two just witnesses. Thereafter he has the right to go back to her until her passing three cycles of Hayd (menses)-free periods.’

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

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who separates from his wife without divorce and swearing. He does not go near her bed for one year. He^-asws said, ‘He must go to his wife.’ He^-asws then said, ‘If one swears about his wife, it takes place by one’s saying. ‘No, by Allah^-azwj, I will not have sexual intercourse with you so and so, and say, by Allah^-azwj I must reduce you’ and then become angry with her. He can wait for four months. After four months, he must be taken in custody, so that he may reach reconciliation with his wife; Allah^-azwj is forgiving and merciful. If he does not reach a settlement, he then is made to divorce. Divorce cannot take place until he is placed under custody. If it is after four months, still he is made to reach a settlement or divorce.’

Ali has narrated from his father from  Hammad ibn  ‘Isa from  ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Bukayr ibn A’yan and Burayd ibn Mu’awiyah who has said the following:

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws, and abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws have said, ‘If a man swears not to go near his wife, then he has no say and no right for four months; and it is not a sin on him to stay away from her for four months. When four months pass if he agrees to touch her arid she remains silent and agrees, it then is fine. He is within the law and his choices; but if she takes her case to the court he then will be told to expiate (find a remedy), then he can touch her or divorce her. Divorce becomes final when he leaves her until she experience Hayd (menses) and becomes clean, then he divorces her and he has the right to go back to her until three Hayd (menses)-free periods pass. This is the  ‘Ila’ (swearing) that Allah^-azwj, most Blessed, most High, has revealed in His book and in the Sunnah of His prophet^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause.’

5-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْلِيَ يُجْبَرُ عَلَى أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ تَطْلِيقَةً بَائِنَةً  وَ عَنْ غَيْرِ مَنْصُورٍ أَنَّهُ يُطَلِّقُ تَطْلِيقَةً يَمْلِكُ الرَّجْعَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ إِنَّ هَذَا مُنْتَقِضٌ فَقَالَ لَا الَّتِي تَشْكُو فَتَقُولُ يُجْبِرُنِي وَ يَضُرُّنِي وَ يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ الزَّوْجِ يُجْبَرُ عَلَى أَنْ يُطَلِّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَةً بَائِنَةً وَ الَّتِي تَسْكُتُ وَ لَا تَشْكُو إِنْ شَاءَ يُطَلِّقُهَا تَطْلِيقَةً يَمْلِكُ الرَّجْعَةَ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu’Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj from Mansur ibn Hazim has said that one who swears is made to divorce in the form of a final divorce which makes the spouses strangers to each other. People other than Mansur have narrated that he divorces once but has the right to go back to her; and certain persons of his people have said to him that this is deleted. He replied that it is true if she complains and says that he compels her, harms her and prevents her from getting married. In such case he is made to divorce her in the form of a final divorce which makes them to become strangers to each other; but the one who remains silent and does not complain then if he wants he can divorce her once with the choice to go back to her.

Ali has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said that once a man came to ‘Amir al-Mu’minin^-asws and said, ‘O ‘Amir al-Mu’minin^-asws my wife breastfed a boy and I said. ‘By Allah^-azwj, I will not go to bed with you until you wean him.’ He^-asws said, ‘ ‘Ila ‘ (swearing) does not take place in constructive and virtuous deeds.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayi from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaniy who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who after going to bed with his wife swears not to go to bed with his wife. He^-asws said, ‘When four months pass he is taken in custody even after a while. If he expiates (finds a remedy), then it is fine and she is his wife. If he decides to divorce he can do so.’ He^-asws said, (swearing) takes place when one says to his wife, ‘By Allah^-azwj, I will reduce you to make you look bad.’ Thereafter, separates from her and docs not go to bed with her up to four months. When four months pass then swearing becomes effective and the Imam must make him to expiate or divorce. If he expiates (finds remedy). Allah^-azwj is Forgiving and Merciful but if he decides to divorce. Allah^-azwj is hearing and knowing and that is the word of Allah^-azwj, in His book.’

8-  الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ الْمُؤْلِي يُوقَفُ بَعْدَ الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَشْهُرِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ إِمْسَاكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ فَإِنْ عَزَمَ الطَّلَاقَ فَهِيَ وَاحِدَةٌ وَ هُوَ أَمْلَكُ بِرَجْعَتِهَا

Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad from al -Hassan ibn Ali from Aban from abu Maryarn who has said the following:

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws has said, ‘One who swears not to go to bed with his wife is taken in custody after four months. He may keep her in a fair manner or leave her in the same way. If he decides to divorce then is once and he has the right to go back to her.’

9-  أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ وَ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ وَ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْإِيلَاءِ مَا هُوَ فَقَالَ هُوَ أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ لِامْرَأَتِهِ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُجَامِعُكِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ يَقُولَ وَ اللَّهِ لَأَغِيضَنَّكِ [لَأَغِيظَنَّكِ‏] فَيُتَرَبَّصَ بِهَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ ثُمَّ يُؤْخَذُ فَيُوقَفُ بَعْدَ الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَشْهُرِ فَإِنْ فَاءَ وَ هُوَ أَنْ يُصَالِحَ أَهْلَهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَفِئْ جُبِرَ عَلَى أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ وَ لَا يَقَعُ طَلَاقٌ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَ لَوْ كَانَ بَعْدَ الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَشْهُرِ مَا لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar. Abu al-’Abbas has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ja’far from Ayyub ibn Nuh. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Ismail from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah all from Safwan from ibn Muskan from abu Basir who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about (swearing) and what it is. He^-asws said, ‘It takes place when a man says to his wife, ‘By Allah^-azwj, I will not go to bed with you so and so, and says, ‘By Allah^-azwj I will reduce you and then waits for four months. Thereafter he is taken in custody, if he expiates and reconciles with his wife, Allah^-azwj is Forgiving and Merciful and if he did not expiate he then is made to divorce. Divorce cannot take place if it is after four months until it is taken before the Imam.’

11-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ خَلَفِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي الْمُؤْلِي إِمَّا أَنْ يَفِي‏ءَ أَوْ يُطَلِّقَ فَإِنْ فَعَلَ وَ إِلَّا ضُرِبَتْ عُنُقُهُ

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘If a man angers his wife and docs not go to bed with her without swearing for four months and she complains against him, he then must expiate or divorce her. if he leaves her without anger or swearing, then the rules of (swearing) do not apply.’

You should have said to him that Allah^-azwj has made her lawful for you then what has made her unlawful for you? In fact it (saying, ‘ You arc unlawful for me.’ is nothing more than a lie. He thus has thought that what Allah^-azwj has made lawful for him has become unlawful and there is no divorce or expiation on him.’ I then asked about the meaning of the words of Allah^-azwj, ‘O prophet^-saww, why do you make unlawful what Allah^-saww has made lawful for you,’ (65: 2} then expiation is made necessary.’ He^-asws said, ‘He only made unlawful for him his slave-girl. Maria and swore not to go near her. He, in the case of swearing, made expiation necessary not in the case of making something unlawful.’

‘I once asked abu Ja’far^-asws about choices. He^-asws said, ‘Who is he and what is that, it was something only for the Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause.’

2-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ ابْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَاكَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص خَيَّرَ نِسَاءَهُ فَاخْتَرْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَلَمْ يُمْسِكْهُنَّ عَلَى طَلَاقٍ وَ لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ‏ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لَبِنَّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ كَانَ يَرْوِيهِ أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَ مَا لِلنَّاسِ وَ لِلْخِيَارِ إِنَّمَا هَذَا شَيْ‏ءٌ خَصَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ رَسُولَهُ ص

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from Muhammad ibn Ziyad and ibn Ribat from abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws that I once heard your father saying. ‘The Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause, offered his wives the choice and they chose Allah^-azwj and His Messenger^-saww. He did not keep them for divorce. Had they chosen themselves they would become strangers.’ He^-asws said, ‘This is a Hadith that my father would narrate from ‘A’ishah. What people have to do with choice! It was something with which Allah^-azwj, specially treated His Messenger^-saww.’

3-  حُمَيْدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنْ عِيصِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ خَيَّرَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا بَانَتْ مِنْهُ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا هَذَا شَيْ‏ءٌ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص خَاصَّةً أُمِرَ بِذَلِكَ فَفَعَلَ وَ لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لَطَلَّقَهُنَّ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها فَتَعالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَ أُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَراحاً جَمِيلًا

Humayd has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from ibn Ribat from ‘Es ibn al-Qasim who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who gives his wife the choice: if she becomes stranger for him. He^-asws said, ‘No, this was something especially for the Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause. He^-saww was commanded to do so and if they were to choose themselves he would divorce them. This is in the words of Allah, ‘Say to your wives, ‘If you want the worldly life and its beauty, then be prepared, so he^-saww benefits you and allows you to be free with fairness,’ (33:28)

4-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ جَعَلَ أَمْرَ امْرَأَتِهِ بِيَدِهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ وَلَّى الْأَمْرَ مَنْ لَيْسَ أَهْلَهُ وَ خَالَفَ السُّنَّةَ وَ لَمْ يُجِزِ النِّكَاحَ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from Harun ibn Muslim from certain persons of our people who have said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who leaves the affairs of his wife in her own hands. He^-asws said, ‘He has given the matter in the hands of someone who is not proper for it, thus, he has opposed the Sunnah and has not made marriage permissible.’

How the Choice originally was

1-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنِفَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ مَقَالَةٍ قَالَتْهَا بَعْضُ نِسَائِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ آيَةَ التَّخْيِيرِ فَاعْتَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص نِسَاءَهُ تِسْعاً وَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً فِي مَشْرَبَةِ أُمِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثُمَّ دَعَاهُنَّ فَخَيَّرَهُنَّ فَاخْتَرْنَهُ فَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْئاً وَ لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ كَانَتْ وَاحِدَةً بَائِنَةً قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مَقَالَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ مَا هِيَ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَرَى مُحَمَّدٌ أَنَّهُ لَوْ طَلَّقَنَا أَنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِينَا الْأَكْفَاءُ مِنْ قَوْمِنَا يَتَزَّوَجُونَّا

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from Zurarah who has said the following;

‘I once heard abu Ja’far^-asws saying, ‘Allah^-azwj, disdained and rejected the words of certain ones of his wives against the Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause, and sent revelation about choice. The Messenger of Allah^-saww stayed away from his wives for twenly-days in the mashrabah (a place for water containers) of Umm Ibrahim. He  then called them and gave them the choice. They chose him^-saww then nothing happened. Had they chosen themselves it would have been one final divorce which made them all become strangers to him^-saww.’ I then asked him^-asws about the word of the woman and who she was?’ He (the narrator) has said that he^-asws said, ‘She said, ‘Muhammad^-saww thinks that if he divorces us no one of our match from our tribes will marry us.’

2-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ الْكِنَانِيِّ قَالَ ذَكَرَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَا تَعْدِلُ وَ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ إِنْ طَلَّقَنَا وَجَدْنَا أَكْفَاءَنَا فِي قَوْمِنَا فَاحْتُبِسَ الْوَحْيُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عِشْرِينَ يَوْماً قَالَ فَأَنِفَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِرَسُولِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها فَتَعالَيْنَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ أَجْراً عَظِيماً قَالَ فَاخْتَرْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لَبِنَّ وَ إِنِ اخْتَرْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaoiy who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said that Zaynab said, You are not fair and you are the Messenger of Allah^-saww. Hafsah said, ‘If you divorce us we will find our match in our people.’ – Revelation stopped coming to the Messenger of Allah^-saww for twenty days. He^-asws said that Allah^-azwj, disdained and rejected the words of these women against His Messenger^-saww and sent revelation that said, ‘O prophet, say to your wives. ‘If you want the worldly life and its beauty become prepared great reward.’ He^-asws said that they chose the Messenger of Allah^-saww. Had they chosen themselves they would have become stranger to him^-saww and they chose the Messenger of Allah^-saww, then not anything else happened.’

A number of people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn abu Nasr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman from ‘Abd al-‘Ala’ ibn Ayan who has said the following:

‘I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws saying. ‘Certain ones of the wives of the Holy Prophet^-saww, had said, ‘Does Muhammad^-saww think that if he divorces us. no one from our people will marry us?’ He^-asws said that Allah^-azwj, became angry from above the seven heavens and commanded him^-saww and he gave them the choice until it was the turn of Zaynab bint Jahash. She stood and kissed him (the Messenger of Allah) accepted, saying, ‘I choose Allah and His Messenger.’

4-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ‏ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ إِنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ قَالَتْ أَ يَرَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنْ خَلَّى سَبِيلَنَا أَنَّا لَا نَجِدُ زَوْجاً غَيْرَهُ وَ قَدْ كَانَ اعْتَزَلَ نِسَاءَهُ تِسْعاً وَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً فَلَمَّا قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ الَّذِي قَالَتْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَقَالَ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها فَتَعالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ الْآيَتَيْنِ كِلْتَيْهِمَا فَقُلْنَ بَلْ نَخْتَارُ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from Ja’far ibn Sama’ah from Dawud ibn Sarhan who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said that Zaynab bint Jahash once said. ‘Does the Messenger of Allah^-saww think that if he divorces us we will not find anyone other than him to marry us?’ He^-saww had stayed away from his wives for twenty-nine days. When Zaynab said this Allah^-azwj, sent Jibril to Muhammad^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause. He said, ‘Say to your wives, ‘if you want the worldly life and its beauty, then be prepared he will benefit you . ‘ They said, ‘We choose Allah^-azwj and His Messenger^-saww and the house in the hereafter.’

5-  عَنْهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ وُهَيْبِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ إِنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَا تَعْدِلُ وَ أَنْتَ نَبِيٌّ فَقَالَ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكِ إِذَا لَمْ أَعْدِلْ فَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ فَقَالَتْ دَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِيَقْطَعَ يَدَيَّ فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ لَتَتْرَبَانِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّكَ إِنْ طَلَّقْتَنَا وَجَدْنَا فِي قَوْمِنَا أَكْفَاءَنَا فَاحْتُبِسَ الْوَحْيُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص تِسْعاً وَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع فَأَنِفَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِرَسُولِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها الْآيَتَيْنِ فَاخْتَرْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْئاً وَ لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لَبِنَّ وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ مِثْلَهُ

It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from al-Husayn ibn Sama’ah from Wuhayb ibn Hafs from abu Basir who has said the following:

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws has said that once Zaynab bint Jahash said to the Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause, ‘You are not fair and you are the Prophet.’ He^-saww  replied, ‘May your hands become soiled, ‘If I am not fair then who is fair?’ She then asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah^-saww, did you pray that my hands gel cut off?’ He^-saww replied, ‘No, but they become soiled.’ She then said, ‘If you divorce us we will find in our people men as our match who will marry us.’ Revelation stopped coming for twenty-nine nights.’ Abu Ja’far^-asws then said, ‘Allah^-azwj, disdained and rejected her words and sent revelation that said, ‘O prophet^-saww, say to your wives, ‘If you want the worldly life and its beauty . . .’ the end of the two verses. They chose Allah^-azwj and His Messenger^-saww then further things did not happen. Had they chosen themselves they would have become stranger to him^-saww.’ (‘Your hands become soiled’ may mean poverty and it may also mean wealth)

6-  وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي الرَّجُلِ إِذَا خَيَّرَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا الْخِيَرَةُ لَنَا لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ وَ إِنَّمَا خَيَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِمَكَانِ عَائِشَةَ فَاخْتَرْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُنَّ أَنْ يَخْتَرْنَ غَيْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith the following is narrated from Ya’qub ibn Salim from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘About the case of a man who gives his wife the choice abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘The choice is only for us and not for anyone else. The Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause, gave the choice because of the words of ‘A’ishah. They then chose Allah^-azwj and His Messenger^-saww and they must not have chosen anyone other than the Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause.

Wife Asking For Divorce

1-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ خُلْعُهَا حَتَّى تَقُولَ لِزَوْجِهَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُبِرُّ لَكَ قَسَماً وَ لَا أُطِيعُ لَكَ أَمْراً وَ لَا أَغْتَسِلُ لَكَ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ وَ لَأُوطِئَنَّ فِرَاشَكَ وَ لآَذَنَنَّ عَلَيْكَ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِكَ وَ قَدْ كَانَ النَّاسُ يُرَخِّصُونَ فِيمَا دُونَ هَذَا فَإِذَا قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ذَلِكَ لِزَوْجِهَا حَلَّ لَهُ مَا أَخَذَ مِنْهَا فَكَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ عَلَى تَطْلِيقَتَيْنِ بَاقِيَتَيْنِ وَ كَانَ الْخُلْعُ تَطْلِيقَةً وَ قَالَ يَكُونُ الْكَلَامُ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا وَ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَيْنَا لَمْ نُجِزْ طَلَاقاً إِلَّا لِلْعِدَّةِ

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 stated this Hadith. ‘Al-Khul’ (divorce for payment) is not lawful until she says to her husband, ‘By Allah^-azwj, I will not honor your turn, will not obey your order, will not take Ghusl (bath) for you because of sexual intercourse, will not sit on your furnishing and I will give permission without your permission,’ People applied Khul’ for less than that. The woman’s saying that to her husband makes it lawful for him to receive payment from her. She remains for him for divorces and al-Khul’ is one divorce.’ He^-asws said, ‘The statements come from her.’ He^-asws said, ‘Had the matter been in our hands we would not allow divorce except with waiting period.’

2-  وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُخْتَلِعَةِ فَقَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِزَوْجِهَا أَنْ يَخْلَعَهَا حَتَّى تَقُولَ لَا أُبِرُّ لَكَ قَسَماً وَ لَا أُقِيمُ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فِيكَ وَ لَا أَغْتَسِلُ لَكَ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ وَ لَأُوطِئَنَّ فِرَاشَكَ وَ لَأُدْخِلَنَّ بَيْتَكَ مَنْ تَكْرَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ هَذَا وَ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَهُمْ وَ تَكُونُ هِيَ الَّتِي تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا هِيَ اخْتَلَعَتْ فَهِيَ بَائِنٌ وَ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ مَالِهَا مَا قَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنَ الْمُبَارِئَةِ كُلَّ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهَا

It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from his father and A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid all from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama’ah who has said the following:

‘I once asked him^-asws about the case of a woman divorced by means of al-Khul’. He^-asws said, ‘It is not lawful for him until she says, ‘I will not honor your turn, follow any of the laws of Allah^-azwj about you, will not take Ghusl (bath) for you because of sexual intercourse, will not step on your furnishings, will allow to enter your house, without your knowledge, such people whom you dislike. They do not speak to her and she is the one who makes such statements. When she finalizes al-Khul’ she becomes stranger and he can take from her assets as much as he can. He does not have the right to take all that the contesting and denouncing wife gives.’

3-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ الْمُخْتَلِعَةُ الَّتِي تَقُولُ لِزَوْجِهَا اخْلَعْنِي وَ أَنَا أُعْطِيكَ مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً حَتَّى تَقُولَ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُبِرُّ لَكَ قَسَماً وَ لَا أُطِيعُ لَكَ أَمْراً وَ لآَذَنَنَّ فِي بَيْتِكَ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِكَ وَ لَأُوطِئَنَّ فِرَاشَكَ غَيْرَكَ فَإِذَا فَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَعْلَمَهَا حَلَّ لَهُ مَا أَخَذَ مِنْهَا وَ كَانَتْ تَطْلِيقَةً بِغَيْرِ طَلَاقٍ يَتْبَعُهَا فَكَانَتْ بَائِناً بِذَلِكَ وَ كَانَ خَاطِباً مِنَ الْخُطَّابِ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from abun, Ayyub from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said. ‘The woman who is divorced by means of al-Khul’, who says to her husband, ‘Divorce me and I pay what I have received from you.’ He^-asws said, ‘It is not lawful for him to receive such payment until she says, ‘By Allah^-azwj, I will not honor your turn, will not obey any of your orders, will allow people to enter your house without your permission and will allow others to sleep in your bed.’ When she does this without informing him, then receiving payment from her is lawful, she is divorced once without any other divorce to follow, and she becomes stranger. He is then one of those who can propose marriage with her.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Alimad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from abu al-Sabbah al-K.inaniy who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘If a man divorces his wife in the manner of al-Khul’, it then is one divorce with which she becomes stranger to him and he then is one of those who may propose marriage. Al-Khul’  is not lawful for him unless she is the one who demands for divorce from him without being beaten by her husband. That she says, ‘I will not honor your turn, will not take Ghusl (bath) for you because of sexual intercourse, I will allow people whom you dislike to enter your house, allow your bed to be used by others and will not obey any of the laws of Allah^-azwj about you.’ When this happens from her side, then it is fine for him to receive the payment from her.’

5-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ لَيْسَ يَحِلُّ خُلْعُهَا حَتَّى تَقُولَ لِزَوْجِهَا ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَ مَا ذَكَرَ أَصْحَابُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ قَدْ كَانَ يُرَخَّصُ لِلنِّسَاءِ فِيمَا هُوَ دُونَ هَذَا فَإِذَا قَالَتْ لِزَوْجِهَا ذَلِكَ حَلَّ خُلْعُهَا وَ حَلَّ لِزَوْجِهَا مَا أَخَذَ مِنْهَا وَ كَانَتْ عَلَى تَطْلِيقَتَيْنِ بَاقِيَتَيْنِ وَ كَانَ الْخُلْعُ تَطْلِيقَةً وَ لَا يَكُونُ الْكَلَامُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَيْنَا لَمْ يَكُنِ الطَّلَاقُ إِلَّا لِلْعِدَّةِ

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from ‘Abd ai-Karim from abu Basir who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said that al-Khul’ is not permissible until she says to her husband … he^-asws then mentioned what his people mention. Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws then said, ‘Less than such expressions was permitted for women and when she said such things to her husband then al-Khul ‘ became lawful for her husband for whatever payment he received. She is then for two more divorces and al-Khul’ is one divorce. The expressions must come from her side.’ He^-asws then said, ‘Had the matter been in our hands divorce could only take place in the manner with waiting period.’

6-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ إِذَا قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ لِزَوْجِهَا جُمْلَةَ لَا أُطِيعُ لَكَ أَمْراً مُفَسَّراً أَوْ غَيْرَ مُفَسَّرٍ حَلَّ لَهُ مَا أَخَذَ مِنْهَا وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا رَجْعَةٌ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Jamil from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws has said that if a woman says to her husband in general, ‘I will not obey any of your orders with or without explanation, then it is lawful for him to receive payment and he cannot do ruju’ (go back to her).’

7-  وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ الْخُلْعُ وَ الْمُبَارَاةُ تَطْلِيقَةٌ بَائِنٌ وَ هُوَ خَاطِبٌ مِنَ الْخُطَّابِ

Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith the following is narrated:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘Al -Khul’ and al-Mubarat (denouncing) is of the kind of divorce which makes the parties become strangers to each other and he becomes one of those who may propose marriage.’

8-  حُمَيْدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ إِذَا قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُطِيعُ لَكَ أَمْراً مُفَسَّراً أَوْ غَيْرَ مُفَسَّرٍ حَلَّ لَهُ مَا أَخَذَ مِنْهَا وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا رَجْعَةٌ

Humayd has narrated from ibn Sama’ah from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Jamil from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws has said that when a woman says, ‘By Allah^-azwj I will not obey any of your commands with or without explanation’, then whatever payment he receives from her becomes lawful for him and he cannot do ruju’ (go back to her).’

9-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ أَنَّ جَمِيلًا شَهِدَ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِنَا وَ قَدْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْلَعَ ابْنَتَهُ مِنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا فَقَالَ جَمِيلٌ لِلرَّجُلِ مَا تَقُولُ رَضِيْتَ بِهَذَا الَّذِي أَخَذْتَ وَ تَرَكْتَهَا فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ جَمِيلٌ قُومُوا فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا عَلِيٍّ لَيْسَ تُرِيدُ يَتْبَعُهَا الطَّلَاقُ قَالَ لَا قَالَ وَ كَانَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سَمَاعَةَ يَقُولُ يَتْبَعُهَا الطَّلَاقُ فِي الْعِدَّةِ وَ يَحْتَجُّ بِرِوَايَةِ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنِ الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ ع قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع الْمُخْتَلِعَةُ يَتْبَعُهَا الطَّلَاقُ مَا دَامَتْ فِي الْعِدَّةِ

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama’ah from Ja’far ibn Sama’ah that Jamil wanted al-Khul’ for his daughter from a certain persons of our people: that Jamil said to that man, ‘What do you say, do you agree with what you have received and leave her free?’ He replied, ‘Yes, I agree.’ Jamil then said to them, ‘You can get up and go.’ They asked, ‘O abu Ali, do you not want that divorce follows it’?’ He replied, ‘No, I do not need it.’

Ja’far ibn Sama’ah would say that it must be followed by divorce in the manner with waiting period. He presented narration of Musa ibn Bakr from the virtuous servant of Allah^-asws as proof. He^-asws has said that Ali^-asws has said, ‘When a woman divorced in the manner of al-Khul ‘ it must be followed by divorce as long as she is in waiting period.’

10-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ فِي الْمُخْتَلِعَةِ إِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ حَتَّى تَتُوبَ مِنْ قَوْلِهَا الَّذِي قَالَتْ لَهُ عِنْدَ الْخُلْعِ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from certain persons of his people who has said Ihe following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said thai a woman involved in al-Khul’ cannot become lawful for him until she repents because of her statements that she has expressed when proceeding for al-Khul.

بَابُ الْمُبَارَاةِ

Al-Mubarat (disavowing) or Divorce for Payment

1-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُبَارَاةِ كَيْفَ هِيَ فَقَالَ يَكُونُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ شَيْ‏ءٌ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا مِنْ صَدَاقٍ أَوْ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ وَ يَكُونُ قَدْ أَعْطَاهَا بَعْضَهُ فَيَكْرَهُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فَتَقُولُ الْمَرْأَةُ لِزَوْجِهَا مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْكَ فَهُوَ لِي وَ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْكَ فَهُوَ لَكَ وَ أُبَارِئُكَ فَيَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ لَهَا فَإِنْ أَنْتِ رَجَعْتِ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ مِمَّا تَرَكْتِ فَأَنَا أَحَقُّ بِبُضْعِكِ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from and A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid all from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama’ah who has said the following:

‘I once asked him^-asws about al-Mubarat and about how it takes place. He^-asws said, ‘It happens when a man owes something to his wife like mahr (dower) or so, of which a certain amount is paid to her, then they dislike each other. The woman says to her husband, ‘Whatever I have received from you is for me and whatever remains on you will be for you and I want to be free (from the bond of marriage).’ The man then says to her, ‘If you will demand from me whatever you have waved, I will be more rightful to have you as my wife.’

(In al-Khul’ dislike is from the woman only but in al-Mubarat the dislike is from both wife and husband).

2-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ الْمُبَارِئَةُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا دُونَ الصَّدَاقِ وَ الْمُخْتَلِعَةُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ أَوْ مَا تَرَاضَيَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ صَدَاقٍ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ وَ إِنَّمَا صَارَتِ الْمُبَارِئَةُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا دُونَ الْمَهْرِ وَ الْمُخْتَلِعَةُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ لِأَنَّ الْمُخْتَلِعَةَ تَعْتَدِي فِي الْكَلَامِ وَ تَكَلَّمُ بِمَا لَا يَحِلُّ لَهَا

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 that in al-Mubarat (disavowing) he can receive an amount which is less than mahr (dower) but in al-Khul ‘ he can receive whatever he wants or on what both parties agree, like the amount of mahr (dower) or more. In al-Mubarat (disavowing) she pays less than mahr (dower) and in al-Khul’ he can receive whatever he likes, it is because of her transgressing in her statements of what is not lawful for her to say.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad, from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a woman who says to her husband, ‘So and so amount is for you to set me free (from the bond s of marriage). He^-asws said, ‘This is al-Mubarat (disavowing).’

It is not lawful for her husband to take more than what is equal to her mahr (dower) or less.’

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 that in al-Mubarat (disavowing) a woman says to her husband. ‘You can have whatever you owe to me and free me (from the bond s of marriage). He then sets her free (from the bond s of marriage).’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘Will he then say to her, ‘If you demand anything back then I will have more right than anyone else to have you as my wife’? He^-asws said, ‘Yes, he can say so.’

He^-asws said, ‘Yes, if it happens as you said has happened.’ I then said, ‘It is narrated to us that it does not make them to become stranger until it is followed by divorce.’ He^-asws said, ‘It then is not al-Khul’.’ I then asked, ‘Does it make her to become stranger to him?’ He^-asws said, ‘Yes, that is what it does.’

5-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ عِدَّةُ الْمُخْتَلِعَةِ عِدَّةُ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ وَ خُلْعُهَا طَلَاقُهَا قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ هَلْ تُمَتَّعُ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ قَالَ لَا

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 that waiting period for a woman in al-Khul’ is like that of a divorced woman and her al-Khul ‘ is her divorce.’ He (the narrator) has said that he then asked if she receives any benefits. He^-asws said, ‘No, she does not receive any benefits.’

6-  حُمَيْدٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي الْمُخْتَلِعَةِ قَالَ عِدَّتُهَا عِدَّةُ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ وَ تَعْتَدُّ فِي بَيْتِهَا وَ الْمُخْتَلِعَةُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمُبَارِئَةِ

Humayd has narrated from af-llassan from Ja’far ibn Sama’ah from Dswud ibn Sarhan who has said the following:

‘About the case of a woman in al-Khul’ abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘Her waiting period is like the waiting period of a divorced woman. She must count her waiting period in her home and a woman of al-Khul ‘ is like the woman in al-Mubarat (disavowing).’

7-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ الْمُخْتَلِعَةُ لَا سُكْنَى لَهَا وَ لَا نَفَقَةَ

Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-llassan from Muhammad ibn Ziyad and Safwan from Rifa’ah who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said that women in al-Khul’ do not have the right for maintenance and housing.’

8-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لِكُلِّ مُطَلَّقَةٍ مُتْعَةٌ إِلَّا الْمُخْتَلِعَةَ فَإِنَّهَا اشْتَرَتْ نَفْسَهَا

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Barqiy from abu al-Bakhtariy who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said that ‘Amir al-Mu’minin^-asws has said, ‘Every divorced woman has the right to receive benefits except women in al-Khul’ who purchase themselves.’

9-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اخْتَلَعَتْ مِنْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ أَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَخْطُبَ أُخْتَهَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّةُ الْمُخْتَلِعَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَدْ بَرِئَتْ عِصْمَتُهَا مِنْهُ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا رَجْعَةٌ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub 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 whose wife has arranged al-Khul’: if it is permissible for him to propose marriage to her sister before wailing period because of al-Khul is complete. He^-asws said. ‘Yes, because she has freed herself from the bonds of his marriage and he does not have the right to go back to her.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al -Hakam from Ali ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu al-Hassan^-asws about the words of Allah^-azwj, ‘If a woman is afraid of disharmony from her husband or his disregarding her. . . .’ (4:128) He^-asws has stated this Hadith. ‘If he intends to divorce her and she says to him. ‘Keep me: I will leave for you something of what you owe to me and wave my day and night.’ It is lawful for him and it is not a sin on anyone of them.’

2-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنِ امْرَأَةٌ خافَتْ مِنْ بَعْلِها نُشُوزاً أَوْ إِعْراضاً فَقَالَ هِيَ الْمَرْأَةُ تَكُونُ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ فَيَكْرَهُهَا فَيَقُولُ لَهَا إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُطَلِّقَكِ فَتَقُولُ لَهُ لَا تَفْعَلْ إِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تُشْمَتَ بِي وَ لَكِنِ انْظُرْ فِي لَيْلَتِي فَاصْنَعْ بِهَا مَا شِئْتَ وَ مَا كَانَ سِوَى ذَلِكَ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَهُوَ لَكَ وَ دَعْنِي عَلَى حَالَتِي فَهُوَ قَوْلُهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فَلا جُناحَ عَلَيْهِما أَنْ يُصْلِحا بَيْنَهُما صُلْحاً وَ هُوَ هَذَا الصُّلْحُ

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

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the words of Allah^-azwj. ‘If a woman is afraid of disharmony from her husband or his disregarding her. . . .’ (4:128). He^-asws said, ‘She is a woman who is married and he dislikes her and tells her that he wants to divorce her. She then says, ‘Do not do so because I am afraid people will reproach me but I wave for you my turn of night with which you can do what you like, and besides, this if there is anything it is for you to leave me in my condition. This is mentioned in the words of Allah^-azwj it is not an offense for both of them to reach a settlement among themselves,’ and it is a reference to that settlement.’

3-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنِ امْرَأَةٌ خافَتْ مِنْ بَعْلِها نُشُوزاً أَوْ إِعْراضاً قَالَ هَذَا تَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ لَا تُعْجِبُهُ فَيُرِيدُ طَلَاقَهَا فَتَقُولُ لَهُ أَمْسِكْنِي وَ لَا تُطَلِّقْنِي وَ أَدَعَ لَكَ مَا عَلَى ظَهْرِكَ وَ أُعْطِيَكَ مِنْ مَالِي وَ أُحَلِّلَكَ مِنْ يَوْمِي وَ لَيْلَتِي فَقَدْ طَابَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ كُلُّهُ

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the words of Allah^-azwj, ‘If a woman is afraid of disharmony from her husband or his disregarding her. . . .’ (4:128) He^-asws said, ‘This is a man who has a wife whom he does not like. He wants to divorce her, thus, she says to him. ‘Keep me and do not divorce me. I will leave for you what you owe to me and pay you from my assets, wave in your favor my day and night,’ all such offers are acceptable for him.’

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the words of Allah^-azwj, ‘If you are afraid of discord between them then send one arbitrators from his people and another from her people.’ (4:35) He^-asws said, ‘The arbitrator cannot separate or unite them without first getting approval from the man and woman and a stipulation that their decision of separating or uniting them must be treated binding. Thus, if they decided for separation or unification it is permissible.’

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the words of Allah^-azwj, ‘. . . an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people’ who then by the permission of both parties and with their stipulation that their decision must be accepted as binding. They then agree in the presence of witnesses: if the decision of the arbitrators to separate them is permissible. He^-asws said, ‘Yes, it is permissible, however, it must take place in a Hayd (menses)-free period and without sexual intercourse by the husband.’ It then was asked, ‘What happens if one of the arbitrators decides to separate them and the other disagrees?’ He^-asws said, ‘It cannot take place unless they both agree for separation. If they both agreed then separation is permissible.’

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about, ‘If you are afraid of discord between them then send one arbitrator from his people and another from her people.’ (4:35) He^-asws said, ‘They cannot decide to separate them without previous authorization of their decision by the parties (the wife and husband).’

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

‘Once abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws was asked about the case of a man who is absent and missing. He^-asws said, ‘If one is absent and missing for four years the authorities must send in writing to the area where he has disappeared, and if no trace of him is found the authority then commands his guardian to provide maintenance for her and she is his woman.’ I (the narrator) then said, ‘She may say, ‘I want what women want.’ He^-asws said, ‘She cannot do so and it is not honorable. If his guardian did not provide maintenance or his attorney, then he (the authority) commands to divorce her and it then is obligatory divorce for her.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Utnar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Burayd ibn Mu’awiyah who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who is absent and missing and about how to deal with the issue of his wife. He^-asws said, ‘If she is silent and has exercised patience, she is not disturbed, but if she brings her case before the authorities she will be told to wail for four years. Thereafter they write to the area where he has disappeared to find out about him. If information is achieved that he is alive, she then must wait; but if no information is found until four years the guardian of the husband is summoned and asked if any assets belonging to the missing man exist. If such assets exist then her maintenance must be paid therefrom until it is found out if he is alive or not. If no asset belonging to him exists his guardian is told to provide her maintenance. If his guardian provides her maintenance she has no way to marry; but if he did not provide her maintenance the authority then compels him to divorce her one divorce before her commencing waiting period when she is in a Hayd (menses)-frec period. Divorce by the guardian is treated like the divorce of the husband. If the husband comes before the end of her waiting period from the day divorce has taken place and he decides to go back to her, she is his wife. She is for him for two more divorces, but if he comes after her waiting period ends then she becomes lawful for marriage to whoever she likes and the first husband has no way to her.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Jsa from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Sbadhan from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaniy who has said the following:

‘About the case of a woman whose husband is missing and absent for four years, has not provided her maintenance and it is not known if he is alive or not, if his guardian is compelled to divorce her. He^-asws said, ‘Yes, he is compelled to do so. If he does not have any guardian, the authority and al-Sultan divorces her.’ I then asked what happens if the guardian says. ‘I can provide her maintenance?’ He^-asws said. ‘He is not then forced to divorce her,’ I then asked what happens if she says, ‘I want what women want, I do not want to wait patiently as I am.’ He^-asws said, ‘She does not have such right and it is not honorable to say so when he provides maintenance.’

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from ‘Uthtnan ibn Msa from Sama’ah who has said the following:

‘I once asked him^-asws about the case of a man who is absent and missing. He^-asws said, ‘If it is known that he is in a certain location she waits for ever until the news of his death comes or her divorce. If it is not known where he is and no letter comes from him or any news, she then comes to the Imam who commands her to wait for four years and search for him in the land. If no trace of him is found until four years pass, she then is commanded to count her waiting period for four months and ten days and then she becomes lawful for men. If she marries after the end of her waiting period, he cannot go back to her and if he comes before the end of her waiting period he has the right to go back to her as her husband.’

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws has said. ‘If a woman receives news of the death of her husband or she is informed about her being divorced by her husband and she counts her waiting period. Thereafter marries then her previous husband comes. The first one is more rightful than the second one. regardless, he (the second) has gone to bed with her or not, but she can demand mahr (dower) from the second one because of his going to bed with her and the second one can thereafter never lawfully marry her again.’ Abu al-‘Abbas al-Razzaz, Muhammad ibn Ja’far has narrated from abu Ayyub ibn Null. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from all from Safwan from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah from abu Ja’far^-asws a similar Hadith.

Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ‘Ila’ (swearing) and abu Ayyub from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu Ja’far^-asws about the case of a woman before svhom two men testify that her absent husband has divorced her and she counts waiting period then marries; then the absent husband comes. He says that he has not divorced her and one of the two testifying people says that he has lied. He^-asws said, ‘The second has no way to her and the one who testified must pay the mahr (dower) to the second man and she must count her waiting period because of the second marriage. The first husband must not go near her until her waiting period is complete.’

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:

‘I once asked abu Ja’far^-asws about the case of a woman who receives news of the death of her husband and she counts her waiting period: then marries. Then her first husband comes. She then separates from him and he from her and about how long is her waiting period. He^-asws said, ‘It is three Hayd (menses)-free periods. She only needs to place her womb in quarantine for three Hayd (menses)-free periods and thereafter she becomes lawful for anyone of all people.’ Zurarah has said that it is because people said she needs two waiting periods, one waiting period because of each one. Abu Ja’far^-asws rejected it and said, ‘She must count three Hayd (menses) -free periods and thereafter she becomes lawful for men for marriage.’

About the case of a woman who receives news of the death of her husband, then she marries; then her first husband comes who divorces her and also the second husband divorces. Ibrahim al- Nakha’iy has said that she must count two waiting periods. Zurarah then took the question to abu Ja’far^-asws who said that she has only one waiting period.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from abu Wallad al-Hannat from Humran who has said the following:

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws has said that ‘Amir al-Mu’minin^-asws -has stated this Hadith. ‘Once a Muslim woman came to the Messenger of Allah^-saww. O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause, and said, ‘O Messenger (of Allah)^-saww so and so married me. I gave birth to many children for him. I helped him in his world and religion and he has not seen any dislikeable things from me. I complain against him before Allah, and before you.’ He ^-saww asked, ‘What is your complaint against him?’ She replied, ‘Today he said to me. ‘You are unlawful for me like the back of my mother is.’ He expelled me from my house, please look into my affairs.’ The Messenger of Allah ^-saww said, ‘Allah ^-azwj has not sent down any book by which I can decide between you and your husband and I do not like to take the trouble on myself.’ She began to weep and complain before Allah^-azwj and His Messenger^-saww and returned. Allah ^-azwj, heard her conversations with His Messenger^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause, about her husband and what she complained about. Allah^-azwj, sent Quran about it: ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful

‘Allah has certainly heard the words of the woman who argued with you about her husband and who (after not having received a favorable response from you) complained to Allah^-azwj. Allah^-azwj was listening to your argument [meaning the statements of the Messenger of Allah^-saww about her husband]. Allah^-azwj is All hearing and All aware. (58:1)

‘Those who renounce their wives by calling them to be as their mothers should know that their wives could never become their mothers. Their mothers are those who have given birth to them. The words that they speak are certainly de-testable and sinful. However. Allah is Pardoning and All forgiving. (58:2)

‘The Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your caifse, sent for her and she came. He^-saww said to bring her husband before him. She brought her husband. He^-saww asked, ‘Have you said this to your wife, ‘ you are unlawful to me like the back of my mother is?’ He replied, ‘I have said so to her, The Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause, said, ‘Allah^-azwj, has sent Quran about you and your wife.’ He^-saww read for him what Allah^-azwj had revealed, ‘Allah^-azwj has heard the words of the woman .. . Allah^-azwj is Pardoning and All-forgiving.’ (58:2) Hold your wife to yourself because you have said evil and sinful words. Allah^-azwj has forgiven you and has pardoned you. You must not do such thing again.’ The man returned and he was regretful because of what he had said to his wife, Allah^-azwj disliked it for the believers thereafter and then He revealed, ‘Those who involve themselves in Zihar against their women then return from what they have said. . ..’ meaning when the first man said to his wife, ‘You are unlawful to me like the back of my mother.’ He^-asws said, ‘Whoever says it after Allah^-azwj pardoned and forgave the first man, ‘must set free a slave before touching (going to bed with) his wife. This is how Allah^-azwj gives advice and Allah^-azwj is well aware of what you do. If one cannot set free a slave he must fast for two consecutive months before touching each other, if one cannot do this also then he must feed sixty destitute people.’ Allah^-azwj has sanctioned this penalty after He prohibited Zihar and said, ‘This is done so that you believe in Allah^-azwj and His Messenger^-saww and such arc the laws of Allah^-azwj.’ Allah^-azwj, has sanctioned this penalty because of Zihar.’

Humran has said that abu Ja’far^-asws, has said, ‘Zihar does not take place by swearing, harming and in anger. Zihar can only take place during a Hayd (menses)-free period and without sexual intercourse and in the presence of two Muslim witnesses.’

2-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ لَا طَلَاقَ إِلَّا مَا أُرِيدَ بِهِ الطَّلَاقُ وَ لَا ظِهَارَ إِلَّا مَا أُرِيدُ بِهِ الظِّهَارُ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ibn Bukayr from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘Divorce is not a divorce unless it is intended to be a divorce, and Zihar is not Zihar unless it is intended to be so.’

3-  عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنِ الظِّهَارِ فَقَالَ هُوَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ أُمٍّ أَوْ أُخْتٍ أَوْ عَمَّةٍ أَوْ خَالَةٍ وَ لَا يَكُونُ الظِّهَارُ فِي يَمِينٍ قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ قَالَ يَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ لِامْرَأَتِهِ وَ هِيَ طَاهِرٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ جِمَاعٍ أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ مِثْلُ ظَهْرِ أُمِّي أَوْ أُخْتِي وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ الظِّهَارَ

Ali has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbuh from ibn Ri’ab from Zurarah who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu Ja’far^-asws about al-Zihar. He (the Imam) said. ‘It applies to all relatives (Dhi Mahram) like mother, sister, paternal or maternal aunts, Al-Zihar is not by swearing.’ I then asked, ‘How does it take place?’ He^-asws said, ‘It happens by a man’s saying to his wife when she is clean of Hayd (menses) and sexual intercourse, ‘You are unlawful to me like the back of my mother or sister’, and he thereby intends al-Zihar.’

4-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع إِنِّي قُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي إِنْ خَرَجْتِ مِنْ بَابِ الْحُجْرَةِ فَخَرَجَتْ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي قَوِيٌّ عَلَى أَنْ أُكَفِّرَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ قُلْتُ إِنِّي قَوِيٌّ عَلَى أَنْ أُكَفِّرَ رَقَبَةً وَ رَقَبَتَيْنِ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ قَوِيتَ أَوْ لَمْ تَقْوَ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from a man of our people from a man who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu al-Hassan^-asws about my saying to my wife, ‘You are like the back of my mother if you went out of the room’ and she went out of the room. He^-asws said, ‘There it does not have any valid effect on you.’ I then said, ‘I am strong to expiate.’ He^-asws said, ‘You do not owe anything because of it.’ I said. ‘I am strong to set free one or two slaves.’ He^-asws said. ‘You do not owe anything because of it, regardless you are strong or not strong.’

5-  ابْنُ فَضَّالٍ عَمَّنْ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ لَا يَكُونُ الظِّهَارُ إِلَّا عَلَى مِثْلِ مَوْضِعِ الطَّلَاقِ

Ibn Faddal has narrated from the one who narrated to him who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘Al-Zihar can take place only in the environment of divorce.’

6-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَ غَيْرِهِ قَالَ تَزَوَّجَ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ ابْنَةَ بُكَيْرٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي أُدْخِلَ بِهَا عَلَيْهِ قُلْنَ لَهُ النِّسَاءُ أَنْتَ لَا تُبَالِي الطَّلَاقَ وَ لَيْسَ هُوَ عِنْدَكَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَيْسَ نُدْخِلُهَا عَلَيْكَ حَتَّى تُظَاهِرَ مِنْ أُمَّهَاتِ أَوْلَادِكَ قَالَ فَفَعَلَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَقْرَبَهُنَّ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Najran from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mugbirah and others who has said the following:

‘Hamzah ibn Humran married daughter of Bukayr. In the night that she was to be brought to him women said to him that divorce does not matter to you much and it is not important for you. ‘We will not bring her (the bride) to you until you form al-Zihar about the mothers of your children.’ He (the narrator) has said that he agreed to do so and mentioned it to abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws. He^-asws commanded him to settle (keep) them.’

7-  أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ وَ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الرَّزَّازُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ تَزَوَّجَ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ ابْنَةَ بُكَيْرٍ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا قَالَ لَهُ النِّسَاءُ لَسْنَا نُدْخِلُهَا عَلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَحْلِفَ لَنَا وَ لَسْنَا نَرْضَى أَنْ تَحْلِفَ بِالْعِتْقِ لِأَنَّكَ لَا تَرَاهُ شَيْئاً وَ لَكِنِ احْلِفْ لَنَا بِالظِّهَارِ وَ ظَاهِرْ مِنْ أُمَّهَاتِ أَوْلَادِكَ وَ جَوَارِيكَ فَظَاهَرَ مِنْهُنَّ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِنَّ

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar and abu a! -‘Abbas al-Razzaz from Ayyub ibn Nuh all from Safwan from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah who has said the following:

‘Hamzah ibn Humran married daughter of Bukayr. In the night that she was to be brought to him women said to him. ‘We would not bring her to you until you swear. We will not agree to your swearing about setting free slaves because you do not consider it anything important: but you must swear about, al-Zihar and form al-Zihar about the mothers of your children and slave-girls.’ He formed al-Zihar about them, then he mentioned it to abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws. He^-asws said, ‘You do not owe anything because of it and you can go back to them.’

8-  أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي الصَّلَاةَ أَوْ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيَشُكُّ فِيهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَيَقُولُ إِنْ أَعَدْتُ الصَّلَاةَ أَوْ أَعَدْتُ الْوُضُوءَ فَامْرَأَتُهُ عَلَيْهِ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّهِ وَ يَحْلِفُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِالطَّلَاقِ فَقَالَ هَذَا مِنْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who doubts a great deal in his wudu. He then says, ‘If I repeat my Salat (prayer) or wudu (because of doubts), then my wife will be like the back of my mother and swears for it about divorce.’ He^-asws said, ‘It is of the misdeeds of Satan. He does not owe anything because of it.’

9-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ظَاهَرْتُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَأَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً قَالَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي شَيْ‏ءٌ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ لَا أَقْوَى قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناً قَالَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنَا أَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْكَ فَأَعْطَاهُ تَمْراً لِإِطْعَامِ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناً قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهَا فَقَالَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَعْلَمُ بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَحَداً أَحْوَجَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي وَ مِنْ عِيَالِي قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَكُلْ وَ أَطْعِمْ عِيَالَكَ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama’ah from abu Basir who has said the following:

‘I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws saying that once a man came to the Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause, and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah^-saww, I have formed al-Zihar with my wife’. He^-saww said, ‘Go and set free a slave.’ He said, ‘I do not have anything.’ He^-saww said, ‘Go and fast for two consecutive months.’ He said, ‘I cannot do so.’ He^-saww said, ‘Go and feed sixty destitute people.’ He said. ‘I do not have that much food.’ He^-asws has said that the Messenger of Allah^-saww then said, ‘I will do it for you.’ He^-saww gave him dates to feed sixty destitute people and told him to give to them.’ He then said. ‘I swear by the One who has sent you with truth, I do not know of anyone between the two mountains on both sides of this city needier to this date than myself and my family.’ He^-saww said, ‘Go, eat thereof and feed to your family.’

10-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الرَّجُلُ يَقُولُ لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ كَظَهْرِ عَمَّتِهِ أَوْ خَالَتِهِ قَالَ هُوَ الظِّهَارُ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْنَاهُ عَنِ الظِّهَارِ مَتَى يَقَعُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَ امْرَأَتَهُ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ طَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَهَا أَ عَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةٌ قَالَ لَا سَقَطَتْ عَنْهُ الْكَفَّارَةُ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ صَامَ بَعْضاً فَمَرِضَ فَأَفْطَرَ أَ يَسْتَقْبِلُ أَمْ يُتِمُّ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنْ صَامَ شَهْراً فَمَرِضَ اسْتَقْبَلَ وَ إِنْ زَادَ عَلَى الشَّهْرِ الْآخَرِ يَوْماً أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ بَنَى عَلَى مَا بَقِيَ قَالَ وَ قَالَ الْحُرَّةُ وَ الْمَمْلُوكَةُ سَوَاءٌ غَيْرَ أَنَّ عَلَى الْمَمْلُوكِ نِصْفَ مَا عَلَى الْحُرِّ مِنَ الْكَفَّارَةِ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ عِتْقٌ وَ لَا صَدَقَةٌ إِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ صِيَامُ شَهْرٍ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following:

‘I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws that a man says to his wife that she is like the back of his paternal or maternal aunt. He^-asws said, ‘It is al-Zihar.’ He (the narrator) has said that we asked him^-asws about al-Zihar and about when expiation becomes due on such man. He^-asws said, ‘It is when he wants to go to bed with his wife.’ I then asked. ‘Will there be expiation if he divorces her before going to bed with her?’ He^-asws said, ‘Expiation does not fall off of him.’ I then asked, ‘If he fasts a part of fasting, then he falls ill and he discontinues his fast, must he start it all over again or continue from where he had left to complete what he owes?’ He^-asws said, ‘If he has fasted one month, then has fallen ill. he must start all over again, but if he has done more than one month by one day or two days he can continue from there onward to complete the rest.’ He (the narrator) has said that he^-asws said, ‘Free and slaves are the same except that slaves owe one-half of expiation on a free person. He (a slave) docs not owe setting free of slaves or charity. He must only fast for one month.’

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar and al-Razzaz from Ayyub ibn Null from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu Ibrahim^-asws about the case of a man who forms al-Zihar about his slave-girl. He^-asws said, ‘Free and slaves are the same in al-Zihar.’

12-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَقَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع مَكَانَ كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ كَفَّارَةٌ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَهَا عَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةٌ قَالَ لَا قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الظِّهَارِ عَلَى الْحُرَّةِ وَ الْأَمَةِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قِيلَ فَإِنْ ظَاهَرَ فِي شَعْبَانَ وَ لَمْ يَجِدْ مَا يُعْتِقُ قَالَ يَنْتَظِرُ حَتَّى يَصُومَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ يَصُومُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ وَ إِنْ ظَاهَرَ وَ هُوَ مُسَافِرٌ انْتَظَرَ حَتَّى يَقْدَمَ فَإِنْ صَامَ فَأَصَابَ مَالًا فَلْيُمْضِ الَّذِي ابْتَدَأَ فِيهِ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-‘Aia’ 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) about the case of a man who forms al-Zihar about his wife five times or more. He^-asws said, ‘For every time there is expiation.’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘I asked him^-asws about a man who forms al-Zihar about his wife, then divorces her before going to bed with her: if there is expiation on him. He^-asws said, ‘No, there is no expiation on him.’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘I asked him^-asws about al-Zihar of free and a slave-girl. He^-asws said, ‘Yes, it can happen.’ It was asked, ‘If it takes place in the month of Sha’ban and he cannot find a slave to free.’ He^-asws said, ‘He must wait until he completes fasting of the month of Ramadan, then fast for two consecutive months; and if he forms al-Zihar on a journey he must wait until he comes home. If he fasts then finds assets, he continues with what he has started.’

13-  مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْمَمْلُوكِ أَ عَلَيْهِ ظِهَارٌ فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى الْحُرِّ صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةٌ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ وَ لَا عِتْقٍ

Muhammad itm Ahmad has narrated from ibn abu Najran from Muhammad ibn i lumran who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a slave if there is al-Zihar on him. He^-asws said, ‘He owes one-half of what becomes due on free people. He owes only to fast one month and setting free of slaves does not apply to him as well as charity.’

14-  عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ يُكَفِّرُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ وَاقَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ قَالَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ يُمْسِكُ حَتَّى يُكَفِّرَ

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

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who forms al-Zihar about his wife three times. He^-asws said, ‘He must pay expiation three times.’ I then asked about if he goes to bed with her before paying expiation. He^-asws said, ‘He must ask forgiveness from Allah^-azwj and abstain until he pays expiation.’

15-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِ‏ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَمْلُوكِ أَ عَلَيْهِ ظِهَارٌ فَقَالَ نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى الْحُرِّ مِنَ الصَّوْمِ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةٌ صَدَقَةٌ وَ لَا عِتْقٌ

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from abu Hamzah al-Thumaiiy who has said the following: ‘I once asked abu Ja’far^-asws about a slave if there is expiation for al-Zihar on him. He^-asws said, ‘He owes one-half of what is due on a free person of fasting, and setting free of slaves as expiation does not apply in his case as well as paying charity.’

16-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَوْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع فِي رَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ عَشْرُ جَوَارٍ فَظَاهَرَ مِنْهُنَّ كُلَّهُنَّ جَمِيعاً بِكَلَامٍ وَاحِدٍ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرُ كَفَّارَاتٍ

Ali ibn ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hafs ibn al-Bakhtariy who has said the following:

‘About the case of a man who had ten slave-girls and formed al-Zihar about all of them by one statement, abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws, or abu al-Hassan^-asws has said that he must pay ten expiations.’

17-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا وَاقَعَ الْمَرَّةَ الثَّانِيَةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةٌ أُخْرَى قَالَ لَيْسَ فِي هَذَا اخْتِلَافٌ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his lather from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurarah and from more than one person from abu Basir who has said the following:

‘He^-asws has said, ‘If one goes to bed with the woman for the second time before paying expiation he must pay another expiation’ He (the narrator) has said that there is no differences in this issue.’

18-  أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ سَيْفٍ التَّمَّارِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الرَّجُلُ يَقُولُ لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ كَظَهْرِ أُخْتِي أَوْ عَمَّتِي أَوْ خَالَتِي قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ الْأُمَّهَاتِ وَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَحَرَامٌ

Abu Ali al-Asirariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Sayf al-Tammar who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws, about the case of a man who says to his wife. ‘You are like the back of my sis- ter, maternal or paternal aunt.’ He^-asws said, ‘Allah^-azwj has mentioned the mothers, this certainly is unlawful.’

19-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ كَتَبَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ بَعْضَ مَوَالِيكَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ بِالظِّهَارِ وَجَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ حَنِثَ أَوْ لَمْ يَحْنَثْ وَ يَقُولُ حِنْثُهُ كَلَامُهُ بِالظِّهَارِ وَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ عُقُوبَةً لِكَلَامٍ وَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الْكَفَّارَةَ لَا تَلْزَمُهُ حَتَّى يَحْنَثَ فِي الشَّيْ‏ءِ الَّذِي حَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ حَنِثَ وَجَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ وَ إِلَّا فَلَا كَفَّارَةَ عَلَيْهِ فَوَقَّعَ ع بِخَطِّهِ لَا تَجِبُ الْكَفَّارَةُ حَتَّى يَجِبَ الْحِنْثُ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ah ibn Mahziyar from who has said the following:

‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad once wrote to abu al-Hassan^-asws saying, ‘I pray to Allah^-azwj to keep my soul in service for your cause, certain ones of your followers think that if a man speaks the statement of al-Zihar, then expiation becomes due, violating the swearing or not. They say that its sinfulness and violation is in the very statement of al-Zihar and expiation is as penalty for such statement. Certain others think that expiation is not due unless swearing is violated in something about which he swears, and if he violates then expiation is due on him, otherwise, there is no expiation. He^-asws signed the answer in his own handwriting that said, ‘Expiation does not become obligatory until violation of oath occurs.’

20-  أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ قَالَ سَأَلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ ظَاهَرَ مِنْ أَرْبَعِ نِسْوَةٍ فَقَالَ يُكَفِّرُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ كَفَّارَةً وَ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ وَ جَارِيَتِهِ مَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا كَفَّارَةٌ عِتْقُ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ صِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ أَوْ إِطْعَامُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناً

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariv has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan who has said the following:

’Once, al-Husayn ibn Mehran asked abu al-Hassan al-Rida^-asws about a man who formed al-Zihar about four women. He^-asws said, ‘He owes expiation for each one. He asked him^-asws about a man who formed al-Zihar about his wife and his slave-girl and what must he pay. He^-asws said, ‘For each one he must pay expiation in the form of freeing a slave or fasting two consecutive months or feeding sixty destitute people.’

21-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ مُمْلَكٍ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ فَقَالَ لِي لَا يَكُونُ ظِهَارٌ وَ لَا إِيلَاءٌ حَتَّى يُدْخَلَ بِهَا

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from all from ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Salih from al-Fudayl  ibn Yasar who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about a Mumlak (a man owned as offspring of slaves) who expresses al-Zihar (calling one’s wife as one’s mother) about his wife. He^-asws said to me, ‘It is not al-Zihar (calling one’s wife as one’s mother) or swearing before going to bed with her.’

22-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَقُولُ لِامْرَأَتِهِ هِيَ عَلَيْهِ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّهِ قَالَ تَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ صِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ أَوْ إِطْعَامُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناً وَ الرَّقَبَةُ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ صَبِيٌّ مِمَّنْ وُلِدَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Mu’awiyah ibn Wahab who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu’Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who says to his wife that she is like the back of his mother to him. He^-asws said, ‘The expiation for it is set-ling free of a slave or fasting for two consecutive months or feeding sixty destitute people. For freeing a slave, a child born in Islam is sufficient.’

23-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ وَ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ وَ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ الْمُظَاهِرُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ سَقَطَتْ عَنْهُ الْكَفَّارَةُ   قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنْ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ أَوْ أَخْرَجَ مَمْلُوكَتَهُ مِنْ مِلْكِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَهَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةُ الظِّهَارِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُرَاجِعَ امْرَأَتَهُ أَوْ يَرُدَّ مَمْلُوكَتَهُ يَوْماً فَإِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَقْرَبَهَا حَتَّى يُكَفِّرَ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu’Umayr from Jamil an ibn Bukayr and Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘If one who has expressed al-Zihar (calling one’s wife as one’s mother) about his wife, divorces her then expiation cancels out and it no more is applicable to his case.’ Ali ibn Ibrahim has said that if a man divorces his wife or takes his slave-girl out of his possession he then does not owe expiation of al-Zihar unless he goes back to his wife and returns his slave-girl into his possession. When he docs so then it is not proper for him to go near them without paying the expiation.

24-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّيَّاتِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع إِنِّي ظَاهَرْتُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي فَقَالَ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي إِنْ فَعَلْتِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَقَالَ لَا شَيْ‏ءَ عَلَيْكَ وَ لَا تَعُدْ

A number of our people have narrated from Sahi ibn Ziyad from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ai-Zayyat who has said the following:

‘I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws ‘I have expressed the statement of al-Zihar about my wife.’ He^-asws asked, ‘How did you say it?’ I replied that it was, ‘You are like the back of my mother to me if you did so and so.’ He^-asws said, ‘It does not have any valid effect but you must not repeat it again.’

25-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ الظِّهَارُ لَا يَقَعُ عَلَى الْغَضَبِ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following:

‘Al-Rida^-asws has said, ‘Al-Zihar (calling one’s wife as one’s mother) does not take place upon anger (if expressed because of anger).’

26-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الظِّهَارِ الْوَاجِبِ قَالَ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ الظِّهَارَ بِعَيْنِهِ

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan from ‘Amr ibn Sa’id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from ‘Ammar ibn Musa who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about al-Zihar (calling one’s wife as one’s mother) which brings about the obligation. He^-asws said, ‘It is exactly that whereby a man wants al-Zihar.’

27-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجِي عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي فَلَا كَفَّارَةَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ وَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ إِنِّي ظَاهَرْتُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِي فَوَاقَعْتُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ أُكَفِّرَ فَقَالَ وَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَمَّا ظَاهَرْتُ رَأَيْتُ بَرِيقَ خَلْخَالِهَا وَ بَيَاضَ سَاقِهَا فِي الْقَمَرِ فَوَاقَعْتُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ أُكَفِّرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ اعْتَزِلْهَا حَتَّى تُكَفِّرَ وَ أَمَرَهُ بِكَفَّارَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ اللَّهَ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from af-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws, has said that ‘Amir al-Mu’minin^-asws has said, ‘When a woman says, ‘My husband is unlawful like the back of my mother’ expiation does not become due on her thereby.’ He^-asws said that once a man from al -Ansar (people of al-Madinah) from Banu al-Najjar came to the Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause, and said, ‘I have expressed the statement of al-Zihar about my wife, then went to bed with her before paying the expiation.’ He^-saww asked, ‘What made you do so?’ He replied, ‘When I expressed the statement of al-Zihar about her I then saw her shining anklet in the moonlight and the whiteness of her leg, then I went to bed with her before paying the expiation.’ He^-saww said, ‘Stay away from her until you pay the expiation.’ He^-saww commanded him to pay the expiation once and ask forgiveness from Allah^-azwj.’

28-  أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أُكَيْلٍ النُّمَيْرِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي رَجُلٍ ظَاهَرَ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَ قَالَ سَقَطَتْ عَنْهُ الْكَفَّارَةُ إِذَا طَلَّقَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُعَاوِدَ الْمُجَامَعَةَ قِيلَ فَإِنَّهُ رَاجَعَهَا قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ إِنَّمَا طَلَّقَهَا لِإِسْقَاطِ الْكَفَّارَةِ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ رَاجَعَهَا فَالْكَفَّارَةُ لَازِمَةٌ لَهُ أَبَداً إِذَا عَاوَدَ الْمُجَامَعَةَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ طَلَّقَهَا وَ هُوَ لَا يَنْوِي شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَ وَ لَا كَفَّارَةَ عَلَيْهِ

Abu All al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar or others from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Ali ibn ‘Uqbah, from Musa ibn ‘Ukayl al-Numayriy. from certain persons of our people who has said the following:

‘About the case of a man who expresses the statement of al-Zihar about his wife then divorces her, abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘Expiation does not apply to his case when he divorces before going to bed with her.’ It was then asked, ‘What happens if he goes back to her?’ He^-asws said, ‘If he has divorced her to escape from expiation, then goes back to her, expiation is obligatory for whenever he goes to bed with her, but if he divorced without such intention then it is not unlawful to go back to her and expiation is not due on him.’

29-  أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ وَ الرَّزَّازُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَفْوَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنِّي ظَاهَرْتُ مِنْ أُمِّ وَلَدٍ لِي ثُمَّ وَاقَعْتُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ كَفَّرْتُ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا يَصْنَعُ الرَّجُلُ الْفَقِيهُ إِذَا وَاقَعَ كَفَّرَ

Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar and al-Razzaz from Ayyub ibn Nuh all from Safwan who has said that abu ‘Uyaynah narrated from Zurarah who has said the following:

‘I once said to abu Ja’far^-asws ‘I have expressed the statement of al-Zihar about the mother of my children, then went to bed with her, then paid the expiation. He^-asws said, ‘This is how a faqih (scholar of law) man does: when he goes to bed he pays expiation.’

30-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَجُلٌ ظَاهَرَ ثُمَّ وَاقَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ فَقَالَ لِي أَ وَ لَيْسَ هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ الْفَقِيهُ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurarah who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who expresses the statement of al-Zihar about his wife, then goes to bed with her before paying expiation. He ^-asws said, ‘Is it not the way a faqih (scholar of law) man does?’

31-  الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّيْقَلِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُظَاهِرُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ قَالَ فَلْيُكَفِّرْ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ وَاقَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ قَالَ أَتَى حَدّاً مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لْيَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ وَ لْيَكُفَّ حَتَّى يُكَفِّرَ

Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad from al -Hassan ibn Ali from Aban from al-Hassan al-Sayqal who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who expressed the statement of al-Zihar about his wife. He^-asws said, ‘He must pay expiation.’ I then said, ‘He has gone to bed with her before paying the expiation.’ He^-asws said, ‘He has come across a law of laws of Allah^-azwj, and he must ask forgiveness from Allah^-azwj and stay away until he pays expiation.’

32-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ الظِّهَارُ ضَرْبَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا فِيهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ قَبْلَ الْمُوَاقَعَةِ وَ الْآخَرُ بَعْدَهَا فَالَّذِي يُكَفِّرُ قَبْلَ الْمُوَاقَعَةِ الَّذِي يَقُولُ أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي وَ لَا يَقُولُ إِنْ فَعَلْتُ بِكِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ الَّذِي يُكَفِّرُ بَعْدَ الْمُوَاقَعَةِ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقُولُ أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي إِنْ قَرِبْتُكِ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘al-Zihar is of two kinds. One kind is that because of which expiation becomes obligatory before going to bed with her, and the other kind is that for which expiation becomes obligatory after going to bed with her. The first kind is that in which one says, ‘For me you are like the back of my mother’ without saying, ‘If I did so and so with you.’ The other kind is that for which expiation becomes obligatory after going to bed with her and it is that in which he says, ‘For me you are like the back of my mother if I come near you (for sexual intercourse).’

33-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُكَيْمٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِذَا حَلَفَ الرَّجُلُ بِالظِّهَارِ فَحَنِثَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْهُ الظِّهَارُ فِي غَيْرِ يَمِينٍ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ بَعْدَ مَا يُوَاقِعُ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَ لَيْسَ يَصِحُّ هَذَا عَلَى جِهَةِ النَّظَرِ وَ الْأَثَرِ فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا الْأَثَرِ أَنْ يَكُونَ الظِّهَارَ لِأَنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا رَوَوْا أَنَّ الْأَيْمَانَ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ كَذَلِكَ نَزَلَ بِهَا الْقُرْآنُ

Muhammad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah ai-Kufiy has narrated from Mu’awiyah ibn al-Hakim from Safwan from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following:

‘I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws saying, ‘If one swear to express al-Zihar then violates it, expiation becomes obligatory on him before going to bed with her, but if he has expressed the statement of al-Zihar without swearing, then expiation becomes due on him after going to bed with her.’ Mu’awiyah has said that this is not correct from thinking point of view. Hadith has come and our people have narrated that swearing can only take place ‘by Allah^-azwj and that is about which Quran has come.’

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibri Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from ibn Mahbtib iruin abu Ayyub al-Kliazzaz from Yazid al-Kuna.siy who has sard the following:

‘I once asked abu Ja’far^-asws about the case of a man who expresses the statement of al-Zihar about his wife, then divorces her once. He^-asws said, ‘If he has divorced her once al-Zihar becomes void and divorce abolishes al-Zihar.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if he goes back to her?’ He^-asws said, ‘Yes, he can do so. She is his wife and if he went back to her he will owe what a man who has expressed the statement of al-Zihar owes before they touch each other,’ I then asked. ‘What happens if he allows until her waiting period ends and she becomes free of the bonds of marriage, and he then marries her: if there is expiation for al-Zihar before they touch each other. He^-asws said, ‘No, there is no expiation because she became stranger to him and was free of the bonds of marriage.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if he expresses the statement of al-Zihar about his wife, then leaves her without touching except that he sees her naked without touching: if expiation becomes obligatory. He^-asws said, ‘She is his wife, his going to bed with her is not unlawful, however, what is obligatory on him is what is obligatory on those who expressed the statement of al-Zihar about their wives before going to bed with her who is his wife.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if she brings him before the Sultan and says , ‘This is my husband who has expressed the statement of al-Zihar about me and he has withheld me. He does not touch me for fear of expiation which is obligatory on those who express the statement si al-Zihar.’ He^-asws said, ‘He (the sultan) cannot force him about the expiation of setting free of a slave or fasting for two consecutive months or feeding sixty destitute people if he is not able to set free a slave, fast for two consecutive months or feed sixty destitute people.’ He^-asws said, ‘If he is able in setting free of a slave or fasting for two consecutive months or feeding sixty destitute people, then the Imam must make him ready for setting free a slave and charity before he touches her or after he touches her.’

35-  ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَهَا فَبَانَتْ مِنْهُ أَ عَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةٌ قَالَ لَا

Ibn Mahbub has narrated from al-‘A!a’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu Ja’far^-asws about the case of a man who expresses the statement of al-Zihar about his wife, then divorces her before going to bed with her until she becomes stranger to him: if he owes expiation. He^-asws said, ‘No, expiation is not obligatory on him.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Salih ibn Sa’id from Yunus from certain persons of his people who has said the following: ‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man, who expresses the statement of al-Zihar about his wife. He says, ‘For me you arc like the back of my mother or like her hand, or like her belly, or like her vagina, or like her soul, or like her feet’: if this is al-Zihar and if he owes what one who expressed the statement of al-Zihar owes. He^-asws said, ‘If one expresses the statement of al-Zihar about his wife and says that she is like the back of his mother to him, or like her hand, like her leg, her hairs or something of her with the intention for it to be unlawful, then expiation becomes obligatory in a little or more of it. So also is the case if he says that she is like his relatives and expiation becomes obligatory on him.’

Al-Li ‘an (Condemnation)

1-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ لَا يَقَعُ اللِّعَانُ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ الرَّجُلُ بِأَهْلِهِ

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and All ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu Nasr from ‘Abd al-Karim from abu Basir who has said the following:

‘Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘Al-Li ‘an (condemnation) does not take place until one goes to bed with his wife.’

2-  الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ لَا تَكُونُ الْمُلَاعَنَةُ وَ لَا الْإِيلَاءُ إِلَّا بَعْدَ الدُّخُولِ

Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad from a1 -Hassan ibn Ali from Aban from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws has said, ‘Condemnation and swearing take place only after going to bed with her.’

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from al-Muthanna’ from Zurarah who has said the following:

‘Once abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws was asked about the words of Allah^-azwj, ‘Those who accuse their wives and do not have witnesses except themselves. . . .’ (24:4) He^-asws said, ‘He is one who accuses his wife. If he accuses then confesses that he has lied against her, the punishment for him is whipping and his wife is returned to him. If he refuses and goes ahead he must testify four times against her, by Allah^-azwj, that he is truthful. For the fifth time he must condemn himself if he is of the lying people. If she wanted to defend herself against suffering (punishment and penalty), which is to be stoned, she must testify four times, by Allah^-azwj, that he is of the lying people and for the fifth time must condemn herself by saying that she must be subjected to the anger of Allah^-azwj if he has spoken the truth. If she did not do it she then is stoned but if she defended herself, penally is diverted from her and thereafter she will never become lawful for him in marriage until the day of Day of Judgment.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if they are separated and she has a child who dies ? He^-asws said. ‘His mother inherits him and if his mother dies his maternal uncles inherit him. Those who say that he is born out of wedlock must be punished by whipping.’ I then asked, ‘Is the child returned to him if he confesses that he has lied?’ He^-asws said, ‘No, it is not honorable. He does not inherit the son but the son inherits him.’

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajj’d who has said the following:

‘Once ‘Abbad al-Basriy asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws when I was present, ‘How does a man go through the process of Mula ‘mah (condemnation) against the woman?’ Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws explained a judgment of the Messenger of Allah^-saww. He^-asws said, ‘Once a man of the Muslims came to the Messenger of Allah^-saww, O Allah^-azwj, grant compensation to Muhammad^-saww and his family^-asws worthy of their services to Your cause. He asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah^-saww, what happens if a man enters his house and finds a man with his wife involved in sexual intercourse? What must he do?’ He^-asws said that the Messenger of Allah^-saww turned away from him and that man left. That man was the one who had faced that issue from his woman. He^-asws said that revelation from Allah^-azwj, came with the commandment about them and the Messenger of Allah^-saww sent to summon that man. When he came, he^-saww asked, ‘Did you see a man with your woman?’ He replied, ‘Yes, that it is true.’ He^-saww then said, ‘You must go back and bring your woman because Allah^-azwj, has sent a commandment about you and about her.’ He^-asws said that her husband then brought her and the Messenger of Allah^-saww held them in custody. He^-saww said to the man, ‘Testify four times by Allah^-azwj that you are truthful (of the truthful ones) in your accusing her of what you accuse her.’ He^-asws said that he testified; then he^-saww said, ‘You must wait.’ He^-saww preached to him and gave him advice (then said, ‘Be pious and have fear of Allah^-azwj; condemnation of Allah^-azwj is severe.’ He^-saww then told him to (testify for the fifth time and say, ‘Condemnation of Allah^-azwj will be upon me if I am of the liars.’ He^-asws said that the man testified and he^-saww commanded him and he moved away. Then he^-saww said to the woman, ‘Do you testify four times that your husband is of the lying people in what he has accused you of?’ He^-asws said that she then testified. Then he^-saww told her to wait. He^-saww preached to her, gave her good advice and told her to have fear of Allah^-azwj: the condemnation of Allah^-azwj is severe. He^-saww then told her to testify for the fifth time saying that she will be subjected to the anger of Allah^-azwj if her husband is of the truthful people in what he has accused her of.’ He^-asws said that she testified. He^-asws said that he^-saww separated them from each other and told them that they can never come together in marriage after lodging condemnation upon each other.’

Al-Hassan ibn Mahbub has narrated from ‘Abbad ibn Suhayb who has said the following:

‘A man is placed under arrest by the Imam in the case of al-Li ‘an (condemnation). He testifies twice, then refuses and confesses that he has lied before completing al-Li’an (condemnation). Abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said that he is whipped as the penalty for accusing the woman of committing fornication. He is not separated from his woman.’

6-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ‏ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ إِذَا قَذَفَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُلَاعِنُهَا حَتَّى يَقُولَ رَأَيْتُ بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهَا رَجُلًا يَزْنِي بِهَا قَالَ وَ سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَقْذِفُ امْرَأَتَهُ قَالَ يُلَاعِنُهَا ثُمَّ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ أَبَداً فَإِنْ أَقَرَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ قَبْلَ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ جُلِدَ حَدّاً وَ هِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْحُرَّةِ يَقْذِفُهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ هُوَ مَمْلُوكٌ قَالَ يُلَاعِنُهَا ثُمَّ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ أَبَداً فَإِنْ أَقَرَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَعْدَ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ جُلِدَ حَدّاً وَ هِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْحُرِّ تَحْتَهُ أَمَةٌ فَيَقْذِفُهَا قَالَ يُلَاعِنُهَا قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ الَّتِي يَرْمِيهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ يَنْتَفِي مِنْ وَلَدِهَا وَ يُلَاعِنُهَا وَ يُفَارِقُهَا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْوَلَدُ وَلَدِي وَ يُكْذِبُ نَفْسَهُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا الْمَرْأَةُ فَلَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ أَبَداً وَ أَمَّا الْوَلَدُ فَإِنِّي أَرُدُّهُ إِلَيْهِ إِذَا ادَّعَاهُ وَ لَا أَدَعُ وَلَدَهُ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِيرَاثٌ وَ يَرِثُ الِابْنُ الْأَبَ وَ لَا يَرِثُ الْأَبُ الِابْنَ وَ يَكُونُ مِيرَاثُهُ لِأَخْوَالِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَدَّعِهِ أَبُوهُ فَإِنَّ أَخْوَالَهُ يَرِثُونَهُ وَ لَا يَرِثُهُمْ فَإِنْ دَعَاهُ أَحَدٌ ابْنَ الزَّانِيَةِ جُلِدَ الْحَدَّ

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 a man accuses his wife he cannot condemn her unless he can say that he has seen a man between her legs fornicating.’ He (the narrator) has said that he^-asws was asked about the man who accuses. He^-asws said, ‘He condemns her and then they are separated from each other. She will never be lawful for him in marriage. However, if he confesses against himself before al-Li ‘an (condemnation) he is whipped as the penalty and she remains his woman.’

‘He (the narrator) has said, ‘I asked him^-asws about a free person with a slave-girl in his control and about his accusing her. He^-asws said, ‘He can deal with il by the process of al-Li’cm (condemnation).’

‘He (the narrator) has said, ‘I asked him^-asws about al-Li’an (condemnation) in which the husband accuses her, denies her child and goes through the process of al-Li’an (condemnation), separates from her and thereafter says, ‘The child is my child’ and calls himself a liar. He^-asws said, ‘The woman cannot return to him forever, however, I return the child if he claims him as his child but do not call him his child. He (the man) cannot inherit the child but he inherits the father and the father does not inherit the son. The legacy of the son goes to his maternal uncles. If his father did not claim him his maternal uncles inherit his legacy but he does not inherit them. If anyone calls him the son of fornication such person is whipped as punishment for such crime.’

7-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْحُرِّ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْمَمْلُوكَةِ لِعَانٌ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ بَيْنَ الْمَمْلُوكِ وَ الْحُرَّةِ وَ بَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ وَ الْأَمَةِ وَ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِ وَ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ وَ لَا يَتَوَارَثَانِ وَ لَا يَتَوَارَثُ الْحُرُّ وَ الْمَمْلُوكَةُ

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws if al-Li’an (condemnation) can take place between a free man and a slave-girl. He^-asws said, ‘Yes, it can take place between a slave and a free woman, between a slave and a slave-girl, between a Muslim and a Jewish woman or a Christian woman but they do not inherit each other and there is no inheritance between a free and a slave-girl.’

8-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي رَجُلٍ لَاعَنَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى ثُمَّ ادَّعَى وَلَدَهَا بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَتْ وَ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ يُرَدُّ إِلَيْهِ الْوَلَدُ وَ لَا يُجْلَدُ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَضَى التَّلَاعُنُ

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu Nasr from ‘Abd al-Karim from al-Halabiy who has said the following:

‘About the case of a man who goes through the process of al-Li’an (condemnation) against his wife who is pregnant, then claims her child to be his child after childbirth thinking that the child is his. He^-asws said, ‘The child can be given to him without whipping because al-Li ‘an (condemnation) has become a matter of the past in the case.’

9-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي رَجُلٍ قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هِيَ خَرْسَاءُ قَالَ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا

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

‘About the case of a man who goes through the process of al-Li ‘an (condemnation) against his wife who is speechless, abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws has said, ‘They must be separated from each other.’

10-  عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنِ الْمُلَاعِنِ وَ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعَانِ قَالَ يَجْلِسُ الْإِمَامُ مُسْتَدْبِرَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَيُقِيمُهُمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مُسْتَقْبِلَا الْقِبْلَةِ بِحِذَائِهِ وَ يَبْدَأُ بِالرَّجُلِ ثُمَّ الْمَرْأَةِ وَ الَّتِي يَجِبُ عَلَيْهَا الرَّجْمُ تُرْجَمُ مِنْ وَرَائِهَا وَ لَا يُرْجَمُ مِنْ وَجْهِهَا لِأَنَّ الضَّرْبَ وَ الرَّجْمَ لَا يُصِيبَانِ الْوَجْهَ يُضْرَبَانِ عَلَى الْجَسَدِ عَلَى الْأَعْضَاءِ كُلِّهَا

Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu Nasr from Jamil from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu Ja’far^-asws about the case of a man and woman who are involved in al-Li’an (condemnation) and about how they do it. He^-asws said, ‘The Imam sits with his back to al-Qiblah (al-Ka’bah) and they stand in front of him facing al-Qiblah (al-Ka’bah) before him and he begins with the man, then the woman. The woman on whom stoning is obligatory, is stoned from her backside and not from her front side; beating and stoning must not affect the face. Other parts of the body can be targeted in both, beating and stoning.’

11-  أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع قُلْتُ لَهُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ كَيْفَ الْمُلَاعَنَةُ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَقْعُدُ الْإِمَامُ وَ يَجْعَلُ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ وَ يَجْعَلُ الرَّجُلَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ الْمَرْأَةَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ

Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr has said the following:

‘I once asked al-Rida^-asws saying, ‘I pray to Allah^-azwj to keep you well, how is al-Li’an (condemnation) completed?’ He^-asws said, ‘The Imam sits down with his back to the al-Qiblah (al-Ka’bah) and keeps the man on his right and the woman on his left.’

12-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْعَمْرَكِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَاعَنَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَحَلَفَ أَرْبَعَ شَهَادَاتٍ بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ نَكَلَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ قَالَ إِنْ نَكَلَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ فَهِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ وَ جُلِدَ وَ إِنْ نَكَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ إِذَا كَانَتِ الْيَمِينُ عَلَيْهَا فَعَلَيْهَا مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُلَاعَنَةِ قَائِماً يُلَاعِنُ أَوْ قَاعِداً قَالَ الْمُلَاعَنَةُ وَ مَا أَشْبَهَهَا مِنْ قِيَامٍ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَادَّعَتْ أَنَّهَا حَامِلٌ قَالَ إِنْ أَقَامَتِ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ أَرْخَى سِتْراً ثُمَّ أَنْكَرَ الْوَلَدَ لَاعَنَهَا ثُمَّ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ وَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَهْرُ كَمَلًا

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from al-‘Amrakiy ibn Ali from Ali ibn Ja’far from his brother abu al-Hassan^-asws who has said the following:

‘I once asked him^-asws about the case of a man who goes through the process of al-Li’an (condemnation) against his woman and testifies swearing by Allah^-azwj four times but declines the fifth time. He^-asws said, ‘If he declines the fifth time she is his woman but he is whipped. If the woman declines when swearing is on her, she is subjected to the same process as he was.’ I then asked if al-Li’an (condemnation) is completed in a sitting or standing position. He^-asws said, ‘Al-Li’an (condemnation) and similar things are done in a standing position.’

‘I then asked about a man who has divorced his wife before going to bed with her and then claims that she is pregnant. He^-asws said, ‘If he presents proof that he has uncovered a secret then denies she child to be his child, he can go through the process of al-Li’an (condemnation) and she becomes stranger to him, but he must pay the mahr (dower).’

13-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَاعَنَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى قَدِ اسْتَبَانَ حَمْلُهَا فَأَنْكَرَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ ادَّعَاهُ وَ أَقَرَّ بِهِ وَ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ يُرَدُّ إِلَيْهِ وَلَدُهُ وَ يَرِثُهُ وَ لَا يُجْلَدُ لِأَنَّ اللِّعَانَ قَدْ مَضَى

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad, Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ah from al-Halabiy who has said the following:

‘I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws about the case of a man who has gone through the process of al-Li’an (condemnation) against his wife who is pregnant and her preg­nancy has become clear but denies what is in her womb. When the child is born, he claims the child, keeps him close, and thinks that the child is his child. He^-asws said, ‘The child is given to him and he inherits him but he is not whipped; al-Li’an (condemnation) has become a matter of the past in the case,’

14-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ‏ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ عَبْدٍ قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ قَالَ يَتَلَاعَنَانِ كَمَا يَتَلَاعَنُ الْحُرَّانِ

15-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَفْتَرِي عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ قَالَ يُجْلَدُ ثُمَّ يُخَلَّى بَيْنَهُمَا وَ لَا يُلَاعِنُهَا حَتَّى يَقُولَ أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُكِ تَفْعَلِينَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, from Hammad from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following:

‘I once asked him^-asws about the case of a man who falsely accuses his wife. He^-asws said, ‘He is whipped, then they are left alone. He does not go through the process of al-Li’an (condemnation) who then is made to say, ‘I testify that I saw you doing so and so.’

16-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ لَا يَكُونُ اللِّعَانُ إِلَّا بِنَفْيِ وَلَدٍ وَ قَالَ إِذَا قَذَفَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ لَاعَنَهَا

Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Saiim from abu Basir who has said the following:

‘Once abu ‘Abd Allah^-asws was asked about the case of a man who accuses his wife of committing fornication and she is speechless, deaf and cannot hear. He^-asws said, ‘If she has witnesses who testify before the Imam in her favor. he is whipped as punishment and they are separated from each other. Thereafter she will not be lawful for him in marriage forever. If she does not have witnesses she becomes unlawful for him as long as he stays with her and there is no sin on her because of it.’
