Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Every divorce which does not take place upon the Sunnah, or a divorce upon the waiting period, so it is nothing’. Zurara narrates, I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Explain for me a divorce of the Sunnah, and a divorce of the waiting period’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘As for a divorce of the Sunnah, so when the man intends to divorce his wife, so let him wait with her until she menstruates and is pure. So when she comes out from her menstruation, he divorces her with a divorce from without copulation, and he have it witnessed by two witnesses upon that. Then he leaves until she menstruates with two menstruations. Thus, she fulfills her waiting period by three menstruations, and she would be irrevocably divorced from him, and he would happen to be a proposer from the proposers, if he so desires to marry her. And if he desires not to marry her, and upon him is her expenses and her dwelling for as long as she is in her waiting period; and they would both be inheriting (each other) until she fulfills the waiting period’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And as for a divorce of the waiting period which Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Speaks of <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:65#h1"><a href="/books/quran:65#h1">[65:1]</a></a> When you divorce women, divorce them for their prescribed time, and calculate the number of the days prescribed</span>. So when the man from you intends to divorce his wife by a divorce of the waiting period, so let him wait with her until she menstruates, and comes out from her menstruation. Then he divorces her with a divorce without copulation, and have it witnessed by two just witnesses, and he can return to her from that day of his if he so likes, or after that by (some) days, or before she menstruates, and he should have it witnessed upon his returning to her, and copulate with her, and be with her until she menstruates. So when she menstruates and comes out from her menstruation, divorces her with another divorce from without copulation, and have it witnessed upon that. Then he returns to her again whenever he so desires to before she menstruates, and have it witnessed upon his returning to her; and he copulates with her and happens to be with her up to her menstruating with the third menstruation. So when she comes out from her third menstruation, divorces her with the third divorce without copulation, and have it witnessed upon that. So when he does that, so she is irrevocably divorced from him, and she is not Permissible unto him until she marries another husband’. It was said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Supposing she is from the ones who does not menstruate?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘For the likes of these is a divorce of the Sunnah’.
