2. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama‘ah from Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah from Muhammad ibn Hakim who has said the following
“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the case of a woman who is young and other women like her experience Hayd (menses). She is divorced: then her Hayd stops. How long is her waiting period? He (the Imam) said, ‘It is three months.’ I then asked that she has claimed to be pregnant after three months. He (the Imam) said, ‘Her waiting period is nine months.’ I then said that after nine months she has claimed to be pregnant. He (the Imam) said, ‘Pregnancy is for nine months.’ I then asked, ‘Can she marry?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘She must observe precaution for three months.’ I then said that after three months she has claimed. He (the Imam) said, ‘There is no doubt about her, so she can marry if she wants.’”
حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ
قُلْتُ لَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ الشَّابَّةُ الَّتِي تَحِيضُ مِثْلُهَا يُطَلِّقُهَا زَوْجُهَا فَيَرْتَفِعُ طَمْثُهَا كَمْ عِدَّتُهَا قَالَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهَا ادَّعَتِ الْحَبَلَ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ عِدَّتُهَا تِسْعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهَا ادَّعَتِ الْحَبَلَ بَعْدَ تِسْعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ إِنَّمَا الْحَبَلُ تِسْعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قُلْتُ تَزَوَّجُ قَالَ تَحْتَاطُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهَا ادَّعَتْ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ لَا رِيبَةَ عَلَيْهَا تَزَوَّجُ إِنْ شَاءَتْ .
