492. hadíth

رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مُمْلَكٍ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ اِمْرَأَتِهِ فَقَالَ "لاَ يَكُونُ ظِهَارٌ وَ لاَ يَكُونُ إِيلاَءٌ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ بِهَا ".

Al-Hasan bin Mahbub narrated from Jamil bin Salih, from Al-Fudayl bin Yasar, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (peace be upon him) about a man who has only performed the marriage contract (mamluk, meaning he has not yet consummated the marriage) and then declares ẓihar (a pre-Islamic form of divorce where a husband likens his wife to a prohibited relative). Imam (a.s) said: "There is no ẓihar and no īla' (an oath to abstain from marital relations) until he consummates the marriage with her."
