Chapter on What Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, Has Made Permissible and Prohibited in Marriage
وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلَيْنِ نَكَحَا اِمْرَأَتَيْنِ فَأُتِيَ هَذَا بِامْرَأَةِ هَذَا وَ هَذَا بِامْرَأَةِ هَذَا قَالَ "تَعْتَدُّ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذَا وَ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذَا ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا".
Al-'Ala' narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who reported from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام: I asked Imam عليه السلام about two men who married two women, but each man was mistakenly given the wife of the other. Imam عليه السلام said: "Each woman must observe the waiting period (iddah) from the other man, and then they may return to their rightful husbands."
