سُئِلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ آلَى مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ وَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا قَالَ لَا إِيلَاءَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَقَالَ أَ رَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا حَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَبْنِيَ بِأَهْلِهِ سَنَتَيْنِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَ كَانَ يَكُونُ إِيلَاءً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Abu Al Sabbah Al Kinany, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> was asked about a man who solemnly swore from his wife and did not sleep with her’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no solemn oath until he sleeps with her’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said, ‘Do you not see that if a man were to oath that he would not make up with his wife for two years or more than that, would that be a solemn oath?’
