سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ تَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ ثُمَّ يَصْمُتُ فَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُ قَالَ يَكُونُ أَخْرَسَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَيُعْلَمُ مِنْهُ بُغْضٌ لِامْرَأَتِهِ وَ كَرَاهَتُهُ لَهَا أَ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ يَكْتُبُ وَ يُشْهِدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ لَا يَكْتُبُ وَ لَا يَسْمَعُ كَيْفَ يُطَلِّقُهَا فَقَالَ بِالَّذِي يُعْرَفُ مِنْهُ مِنْ فِعَالِهِ مِثْلِ مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ كَرَاهَتِهِ وَ بُغْضِهِ لَهَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu nasr who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about the man who happened to have the woman with him. Then he kept silent and could not speak’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He became mute?’ I said, ‘Yes. So it was known from him to be with hatred for his wife and his abhorrence for her. Is it allowed that his guardian divorces on his behalf?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No. But, he can write it out and keep witnesses upon that’. I said, ‘He can neither write nor hear, how would he divorce her?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘By that which is recognised from him from his actions the likes of what you mentioned from his abhorrence, and his hatred for her’.
