Al-Kafi 10705

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al Hassan Bin Salih who said, ‘I asked Ja’far^asws Bin Muhammad^asws about a man who divorces his wife and he is absent in another city, and two men bear witness upon his divorcing her. Then he returns before the fulfillment of the waiting period and does not keep witnesses upon the reversion. Then he comes over to her after the fulfillment of the waiting period, and she had married (again) to a man. So he sends her a message to her, ‘I had reverted to you before the fulfillment of the waiting period, and did not keep a witness. He (the narrator) said, ‘So he^asws said: ‘There is no way for him to her, because he had accepted with the divorce, and left the reversion without a proof. Thus, there is no way for him to her, and due to that it befits the one who divorces that he keeps witnesses, and for the one who reverts, that he should keep witnesses upon the reversion, just as there are witnesses upon the divorce. Had he been there before her marriage, he would have been a proposer from the proposers’.
