Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5th or 6th Imam^asws), said, ‘I asked him^asws about a man who did <span class="iTxt">Zahaar </span>from his wife five times, or more. So he^asws said: ‘Ali^asws said: ‘In place of each time, is an expiation’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him^asws about a man who did <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span> from his wife, then divorced her before he copulated with her, does an expiation occur upon him?’ He^asws said: ‘No’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him^asws about the <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span> upon the free woman and the slave woman. So he^asws said: ‘Yes’. It was said, ‘Supposing if he did <span class="iTxt">Zahaar </span>in Shaban and did not find what he could emancipate?’ He^asws said:’ He should wait until he Fasts the Month of Ramazaan, then he should Fast for two months consecutively. And if he had done <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span> and he is a traveller, he should wait until he returns home. So if he Fasts and attains wealth, so let him fulfill that which he had begun with’.
