سَأَلْتُ الْعَبْدَ الصَّالِحَ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ شِقاقَ بَيْنِهِما فَابْعَثُوا حَكَماً مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَ حَكَماً مِنْ أَهْلِها فَقَالَ يَشْتَرِطُ الْحَكَمَانِ إِنْ شَاءَا فَرَّقَا وَ إِنْ شَاءَا جَمَعَا فَفَرَّقَا أَوْ جَمَعَا جَازَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said, ‘I asked Al Abd Al-Salih<sup>asws</sup> (7th Imam<sup>asws</sup>) about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h35"><a href="/books/quran:4#h35">[4:35]</a></a> And if you fear a discord between the two, then appoint a judge from his family and a judge from her family</span>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The two judges stipulate (specify) that if they so desire to they would separate them, and if they so desire to they would gather them. So, whether they separate or gather, it is allowed’.
