قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) رَجُلٌ يَعْرِفُ رَأْيَهُ مَرَّةً وَ يُنْكِرُهُ أُخْرَى يَجُوزُ طَلَاقُ وَلِيِّهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ مَا لَهُ هُوَ لَا يُطَلِّقُ قُلْتُ لَا يَعْرِفُ حَدَّ الطَّلَاقِ وَ لَا يُؤْمَنُ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ طَلَّقَ الْيَوْمَ أَنْ يَقُولَ غَداً لَمْ أُطَلِّقْ قَالَ مَا أَرَاهُ إِلَّا بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْإِمَامِ يَعْنِي الْوَلِيَّ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, and Abu Al Abbas Al Razzaz, from Ayoub Bin Nuh, and Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Al Fazal Bin Shazan, altogether from safwan, from Abu Khalid Al qammat who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man whose opinion is recognised at one time, and denied another, is the divorce of his guardian allowed over him?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What is the matter with him that he does not divorce (himself)?’ I said, ‘He does not know the limit of the divorce, and is not secure upon it, if he divorces today, but he would be saying tomorrow, ‘I did not divorce’’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> do not see him except being at the status of the Imam, meaning the guardian’.
