4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from abu Ayyub and ibn Ri’ab from Zurarah who has said the following
“There is the case of a man who marries a virgin woman, then divorces her before going to bed with three divorces, one divorce every month. One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘With the first divorce she becomes stranger to him and the other two are extra. He is one of those who may propose marriage when he wants with new mahr (dower)/ It then was asked from him (the Imam), ‘Can he go back to her before the passing of three months?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he cannot do so. He could have done so if he were to go to bed with her before, but with a divorce without going to bed with her he cannot revoke and she becomes stranger to him in the same hour of his divorcing.’”
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ( عليهما السلام )
فِي رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً بِكْراً ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا ثَلَاثَ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ كُلَّ شَهْرٍ تَطْلِيقَةً قَالَ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ فِي التَّطْلِيقَةِ الْأُولَى وَ اثْنَتَانِ فَضْلٌ وَ هُوَ خَاطِبٌ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا مَتَى شَاءَتْ وَ شَاءَ بِمَهْرٍ جَدِيدٍ قِيلَ لَهُ فَلَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا إِذَا طَلَّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ تَمْضِيَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكُونُ لَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا لَوْ كَانَ دَخَلَ بِهَا أَوَّلًا فَأَمَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَلَا رَجْعَةَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا قَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ مِنْ سَاعَةٍ طَلَّقَهَا .
