Divorce of a Pregnant Woman

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الشَّفَا عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى وَ كَانَ فِي بَطْنِهَا اثْنَانِ فَوَضَعَتْ وَاحِداً وَ بَقِيَ وَاحِدٌ قَالَ قَالَ تَبِينُ بِالْأَوَّلِ وَ لَا تَحِلُّ لِلْأَزْوَاجِ حَتَّى تَضَعَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا .
10. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Ja‘far ibn Sama’ah from Ali ‘Imran al-Shifa’ from Rib‘iy ibn ‘ Abd Allah from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu ‘Abd Allah al-Basriy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the case of a man who divorces his pregnant wife with two children in her womb. She gives birth to one and one remains. He (the Imam) said, ‘She becomes stranger with the birth of one child and she is not lawful for marriage until the birth of the other child.’”*
