سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ آلَى مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ بَعْدَ مَا دَخَلَ بِهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا مَضَتْ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وُقِفَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ بَعْدَ حِينٍ فَإِنْ فَاءَ فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ وَ هِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ وَ إِنْ عَزَمَ الطَّلَاقَ فَقَدْ عَزَمَ وَ قَالَ الْإِيلَاءُ أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ لِامْرَأَتِهِ وَ اللَّهِ لَأَغِيضَنَّكِ [لَأَغِيظَنَّكِ] وَ لَأَسُوءَنَّكِ ثُمَّ يَهْجُرَهَا وَ لَا يُجَامِعَهَا حَتَّى تَمْضِيَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ فَإِذَا مَضَتْ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ الْإِيلَاءُ وَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يُجْبِرَهُ عَلَى أَنْ يَفِيءَ أَوْ يُطَلِّقَ فَإِنْ فَاءَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ وَ إِنْ عَزَمَ الطَّلَاقَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ.
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Abu Al Sabbah Al Kinany who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who solemnly oathed from his wife after having slept with her. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When four months pass by, he pause, even if it was after a while. So if he meets (reconciles) so it is not with anything, and she is (still) his wife, and if he is determined upon the divorced, so it is determined’. And he said, ‘The solemn oath is that the man is saying to his wife, ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, I shall constrict you (due to my anger with you), and worsen you’. Then he abandons her and does not go near her until four months pass by. So when four months pass by, so the solemn oath has occurred, and it is befitting for the Imam<sup>asws</sup> that he<sup>asws</sup> compels him upon that he either meets (reconciles) or divorces. <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h226"><a href="/books/quran:2#h226">[2:226]</a></a> so if they meet, then Allah is surely Forgiving, Merciful <a href="/#/books/quran:2#h227"><a href="/books/quran:2#h227">[2:227]</a></a> And if they have resolved upon the divorce, then Allah is surely Hearing, Knowing</span>’.
