Chapter on What Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty, Has Made Permissible and Prohibited in Marriage
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ اَلنَّابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةً عَلَى بُسْتَانٍ لَهُ مَعْرُوفٍ وَ لَهُ غَلَّةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ سِنِينَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا قَالَ "يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَا صَارَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ غَلَّةِ اَلْبُسْتَانِ مِنْ يَوْمِ تَزَوَّجَهَا فَيُعْطِيهَا نِصْفَهُ وَ يُعْطِيهَا نِصْفَ اَلْبُسْتَانِ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَعْفُوَ فَتَقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَ يَصْطَلِحَانِ عَلَى شَيْءٍ تَرْضَى بِهِ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ "أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوىٰ" ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Hammad al-Nab, from Abu Basir, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام about a man who married a woman with the condition of giving her a well-known orchard that had abundant produce. Then, after remaining for years without consummating the marriage, he divorced her. Imam عليه السلام said: "He must look at what the orchard has yielded in produce from the day he married her, and he should give her half of it, along with half of the orchard itself, unless she pardons him and agrees to settle for something that pleases her from him, for that is closer to piety."
