إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولُ إِنَّ فُلَاناً زَوْجِي قَدْ نَثَرْتُ لَهُ بَطْنِي وَ أَعَنْتُهُ عَلَى دُنْيَاهُ وَ آخِرَتِهِ فَلَمْ يَرَ مِنِّي مَكْرُوهاً وَ أَنَا أَشْكُوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ مِمَّا تَشْتَكِينَهُ قَالَتْ لَهُ إِنَّهُ قَالَ لِيَ الْيَوْمَ أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي وَ قَدْ أَخْرَجَنِي مِنْ مَنْزِلِي فَانْظُرْ فِي أَمْرِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ كِتَاباً أَقْضِي بِهِ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ زَوْجِكِ وَ أَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ فَجَعَلَتْ تَبْكِي وَ تَشْتَكِي مَا بِهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِلَى رَسُولِهِ وَ انْصَرَفَتْ فَسَمِعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مُحَاوَرَتَهَا لِرَسُولِهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي زَوْجِهَا وَ مَا شَكَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِذَلِكَ قُرْآناً بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ قَدْ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي تُجادِلُكَ فِي زَوْجِها وَ تَشْتَكِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحاوُرَكُما يَعْنِي مُحَاوَرَتَهَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي زَوْجِهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ. الَّذِينَ يُظاهِرُونَ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ نِسائِهِمْ ما هُنَّ أُمَّهاتِهِمْ إِنْ أُمَّهاتُهُمْ إِلَّا اللَّائِي وَلَدْنَهُمْ وَ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَقُولُونَ مُنْكَراً مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَ زُوراً وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ فَأَتَتْهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا جِيئِينِي بِزَوْجِكِ فَأَتَتْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَ قُلْتَ لِامْرَأَتِكَ هَذِهِ أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي قَالَ قَدْ قُلْتُ لَهَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيكَ وَ فِي امْرَأَتِكَ قُرْآناً فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ قَدْ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي تُجادِلُكَ فِي زَوْجِها إِلَى قَوْلِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌ فَضُمَّ امْرَأَتَكَ إِلَيْكَ فَإِنَّكَ قَدْ قُلْتَ مُنْكَراً مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَ زُوراً قَدْ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْكَ وَ غَفَرَ لَكَ فَلَا تَعُدْ فَانْصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ وَ هُوَ نَادِمٌ عَلَى مَا قَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ وَ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ بَعْدُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الَّذِينَ يُظاهِرُونَ مِنْ نِسائِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِما قالُوا يَعْنِي لِمَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ الْأَوَّلُ لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي قَالَ فَمَنْ قَالَهَا بَعْدَ مَا عَفَا اللَّهُ وَ غَفَرَ لِلرَّجُلِ الْأَوَّلِ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَتَمَاسَّا يَعْنِي مُجَامَعَتَهَا ذلِكُمْ تُوعَظُونَ بِهِ وَ اللَّهُ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ. فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتابِعَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَتَمَاسَّا فَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَإِطْعامُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناً فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ عُقُوبَةَ مَنْ ظَاهَرَ بَعْدَ النَّهْيِ هَذَا وَ قَالَ ذلِكَ لِتُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ وَ تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَذَا حَدَّ الظِّهَارِ قَالَ حُمْرَانُ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ لَا يَكُونُ ظِهَارٌ فِي يَمِينٍ وَ لَا فِي إِضْرَارٍ وَ لَا فِي غَضَبٍ وَ لَا يَكُونُ ظِهَارٌ إِلَّا عَلَى طُهْرٍ بِغَيْرِ جِمَاعٍ بِشَهَادَةِ شَاهِدَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Wallad Al Hannat, from Humran, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said that Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A woman came over to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, so she said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! So and so husband of mine had married me. I gave him my belly for seeding (giving birth), and I supported him upon his world and his Hereafter, so he did not see from me anything he disliked, and I complain about him to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, and to you<sup>saww</sup>’. He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘From what are you complaining?’ She said to him<sup>saww</sup>, ‘He said to me today, ‘You are prohibited unto me like the back of my mother’, and he has thrown me out from my house. So look into my matter’. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has not yet Revealed a Book to me<sup>saww</sup> to judge with between you and your husband, and I<sup>saww</sup> dislike that I<sup>saww</sup> become from the pretenders’. So she went on weeping and complaining of what was with her, to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup>, and dispersed. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Heard her argument to His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup> regarding her husband, and what she complained to him<sup>saww</sup>. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Revealed with that a Quranic (Verse) <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:58#h1"><a href="/books/quran:58#h1">[58:1]</a></a> Allah has Heard the words of her who pleaded with you about her husband and complained to Allah, and Allah Knows the contentions of both of you; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing. <a href="/#/books/quran:58#h2"><a href="/books/quran:58#h2">[58:2]</a></a> (As for) those of you who put away their wives by likening their backs to the backs of their mothers, they are not their mothers; their mothers are no others than those who gave them birth; and most surely they utter a hateful word and a falsehood and most surely Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving</span>. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> sent for the woman, so she came over. So he<sup>saww</sup> said to her: ‘Come to me<sup>saww</sup> with your husband’. So she came with him. So he<sup>saww</sup> said to him: ‘Did you say to this wife of yours, ‘You are prohibited unto me like the back of my mother’?’ He said, ‘I had said that to her’. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said to him: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has Revealed regarding you and regarding your wife, a Quran’. So he<sup>saww</sup> recited to him what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> had Revealed from His<sup>azwj</sup> Words <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:58#h1"><a href="/books/quran:58#h1">[58:1]</a></a> Allah has Heard the words of her who pleaded with you about her husband </span>up to His<sup>azwj</sup> Words <span class="ibTxt">and most surely Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving</span>. So cuddle your wife to yourself, for you have spoken an evil from the speech and a fallacy. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Pardoned you and Forgiven for you, therefore do not repeat’. So the man left and he was regretful upon what he had said to his wife, and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Disliked that for the believers afterwards, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Revealed <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:58#h3"><a href="/books/quran:58#h3">[58:3]</a></a> And (as for) those who put away their wives by likening their backs to the backs of their mothers then withdraw what they said</span>, Meaning what the man first said to his wife, ‘You are prohibited unto me like the back of my mother’, so the one who says it after what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> had Pardoned him and Forgiven to the man firstly, so upon him <span class="ibTxt">should free a captive before they touch them </span>Meaning copulate with them<span class="ibTxt"> that is what you are Advised for; and Allah is Aware of what you doing</span>. <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:58#h4"><a href="/books/quran:58#h4">[58:4]</a></a> But whoever has not the means, let him Fast for two months successively before they touch them; then as for him who is not able, let him feed sixty needy ones</span>. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Made a Punishment or the one who does <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span> after this Prohibition, and Said <span class="ibTxt">that is in order that you may have faith in Allah and His Rasool; and these are Allah's Limits</span>. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Made this a Limit for the <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span>’. Humran (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span> does not happen during a vow, nor during harming, nor during anger, and <span class="iTxt">Zahaar </span>does not happen except upon purity without copulation, with two Muslim witnesses’.
