كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ صَاحِبِ الْعَسْكَرِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ بِأَرْبَعِ نِسْوَةٍ لَمْ أَسْأَلْ عَنْ أَسْمَائِهِنَّ ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَرَدْتُ طَلَاقَ إِحْدَاهُنَّ وَ تَزْوِيجَ امْرَأَةٍ أُخْرَى فَكَتَبَ انْظُرْ إِلَى عَلَامَةٍ إِنْ كَانَتْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ فَتَقُولُ اشْهَدُوا أَنَّ فُلَانَةَ الَّتِي بِهَا عَلَامَةُ كَذَا وَ كَذَا هِيَ طَالِقٌ ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجُ الْأُخْرَى إِذَا انْقَضَتِ الْعِدَّةُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Mutahhar who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan Sahib Al-Askar<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I am married to four wives, not having even asked about their names. Then I wanted to divorce one of them and marry another woman’. So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote: ‘Look at a sign which was with one of them, and you should be saying, ‘So and so woman who is with such and such a sign, she is divorced’. Then marry another one, when the waiting period expires’.
