سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْإِيلَاءِ مَا هُوَ فَقَالَ هُوَ أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ لِامْرَأَتِهِ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُجَامِعُكِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ يَقُولَ وَ اللَّهِ لَأَغِيضَنَّكِ [لَأَغِيظَنَّكِ] فَيُتَرَبَّصَ بِهَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ ثُمَّ يُؤْخَذُ فَيُوقَفُ بَعْدَ الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَشْهُرِ فَإِنْ فَاءَ وَ هُوَ أَنْ يُصَالِحَ أَهْلَهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَفِئْ جُبِرَ عَلَى أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ وَ لَا يَقَعُ طَلَاقٌ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَ لَوْ كَانَ بَعْدَ الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَشْهُرِ مَا لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, and abu Al Abbas Muhammad Bin Ja’far, from Ayoub Bin Nuh, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from al Fazl Bin Shzaan, and Humey Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at, altogether from Safwan, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the solemn oath, what is it?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is if he, the man, is saying to his wife, ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, I will not sleep with you such and such’, and he is saying, ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, I shall constrict you (due to my anger with you)’. So she would be awaited with for four months, then he would be seized. So he would be paused after the four months, so if he meets, and it is that he reconciles with his wife, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is most Forgiving and most Merciful; and if he does not meet, he would be compelled upon that he divorces her, and a divorce does not happen in what is between the two of them, even though it be after the four months, what has not been raised to the Imam<sup>asws</sup>’.
