قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) لِأَبِي يُوسُفَ الْقَاضِي إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَمَرَ فِي كِتَابِهِ بِالطَّلَاقِ وَ أَكَّدَ فِيهِ بِشَاهِدَيْنِ وَ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِهِمَا إِلَّا عَدْلَيْنِ وَ أَمَرَ فِي كِتَابِهِ بِالتَّزْوِيجِ فَأَهْمَلَهُ بِلَا شُهُودٍ فَأَثْبَتُّمْ شَاهِدَيْنِ فِيمَا أَهْمَلَ وَ أَبْطَلْتُمُ الشَّاهِدِينَ فِيمَا أَكَّدَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Dawood Al Nahdy, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan Musa<sup>asws</sup> said to Abu Yusuf, the judge, that Allah Blessed and High Commanded in His<sup>azwj</sup> Book with the divorce, and Emphasised therein with two witnesses and was not Pleased with the two except if they were just, and Commanded in His<sup>azwj</sup> Book with the marriage but Left it out without witnesses. So you (on the other hand) have affirmed the two witnesses regarding what is to be left out, and invalidated the two witnesses regarding what is Emphasised’.
