Chapter on Zihar (Declaring One's Wife Unlawful Like a Mother)
وَ - سَأَلَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ اِمْرَأَتِهِ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَقَالَ "قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "مَكَانَ كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ كَفَّارَةٌ" ".
Muhammad ibn Muslim asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who declared ẓihar (a form of divorce by comparison) against his wife five times or more. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام said: 'For every instance, there is a separate expiation.'"
