Hadith 1608
۞
Hadith.4806 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr Al-Bazanti asked Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha (as) about a man who has a wife but remains silent and does not speak.
Imam (as) asked: "Is he mute?"
He replied: "Yes, and we know from his behavior that he dislikes and detests his wife. Is it permissible for his guardian to divorce her on his behalf?"
Imam (as) said: "No, but he should write it down and have witnesses for it."
He said: "May Allah (swt) correct you, but he neither writes nor hears. How can he divorce her?" Imam (as) replied: "Through actions that clearly indicate his intention, such as what you mentioned of his dislike and hatred for her."
4806 - سَأَلَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ اَلْبَزَنْطِيُّ ، أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ يَصْمُتُ وَ لاَ يَتَكَلَّمُ قَالَ
"أَخْرَسُ هُوَ" قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَنَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ بُغْضاً لاِمْرَأَتِهِ وَ كَرَاهَةً لَهَا أَ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ قَالَ "لاَ وَ لَكِنْ يَكْتُبُ وَ يُشْهِدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ" قُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اَللَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَكْتُبُ وَ لاَ يَسْمَعُ كَيْفَ يُطَلِّقُهَا قَالَ "بِالَّذِي يُعْرَفُ بِهِ مِنْ أَفْعَالِهِ مِثْلَ مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ كَرَاهَتِهِ وَ بُغْضِهِ لَهَا".
