The Sufficient (Vol 6) · Hadith 301 (#Ḥadīth #2)

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الْمَرْزُبَانِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ اعْتَدِّي فَقَدْ خَلَّيْتُ سَبِيلَكِ ثُمَّ أَشْهَدَ عَلَى رَجْعَتِهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِأَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ غَابَ عَنْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا حَتَّى مَضَتْ لِذَلِكَ أَشْهُرٌ بَعْدَ الْعِدَّةِ أَوْ أَكْثَرُ فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُهُ قَالَ إِذَا أَشْهَدَ عَلَى رَجْعَتِهِ فَهِيَ زَوْجَتُهُ .

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Sa‘d ibn Sa‘d from al-Marzuban who has said the following: “I once asked al-Rida’ , about the case of a man who says to his wife, ‘’1‘tadV (you must commence waiting period); I have opened your way. In few days he arranges witness for his going back to her; then remains absent from her before going to bed with her until months pass from the waiting period or more. What do you command in the case?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Since he has arranged for witness about his going back to his wife, she is his wife.”’
