3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following
“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘If one swears about his wife and it takes place by one’s saying, “By Allah, I will not have sexual intercourse with you so and so,” and says, “By Allah I must reduce you” and then become angry with her. He can wait for four months. After four months, he must be taken in custody so that he pays expiation, which is reconciliation with his wife or divorce. Divorce cannot take place until he is placed under custody. If it is after four months, still he is made to expiate (find remedy) or divorce.’”
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِذَا آلَى الرَّجُلُ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ وَ الْإِيلَاءُ أَنْ يَقُولَ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُجَامِعُكِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ يَقُولَ وَ اللَّهِ لَأَغِيضَنَّكِ [لَأَغِيظَنَّكِ] ثُمَّ يُغَاضِبَهَا ثُمَّ يَتَرَبَّصُ بِهَا أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فَإِنْ فَاءَ وَ الْإِيفَاءُ أَنْ يُصَالِحَ أَهْلَهُ أَوْ يُطَلِّقَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ لَا يَقَعُ بَيْنَهُمَا طَلَاقٌ حَتَّى يُوقَفَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ بَعْدَ الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَشْهُرِ حَتَّى يَفِي‏ءَ أَوْ يُطَلِّقَ .
