Chapter on Zihar (Declaring One's Wife Unlawful Like a Mother)
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَلاَّدٍ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "لاَ يَكُونُ ظِهَارٌ فِي يَمِينٍ وَ لاَ فِي إِضْرَارٍ وَ لاَ فِي غَضَبٍ وَ لاَ يَكُونُ ظِهَارٌ إِلاَّ عَلَى طُهْرٍ بِغَيْرِ جِمَاعٍ بِشَهَادَةِ شَاهِدَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Walad, from Humran, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, who said: "Ẓihar (a form of divorce by comparison) does not occur through an oath, nor in a case of harm, nor in a state of anger. Ẓihar is only valid when it is declared during a state of purity (from menstruation), without prior intercourse, and in the presence of two Muslim witnesses."
