Divorce of a Pregnant Woman

حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْحُبْلَى إِذَا طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا فَوَضَعَتْ سِقْطاً تَمَّ أَوْ لَمْ يَتِمَّ أَوْ وَضَعَتْهُ مُضْغَةً قَالَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَضَعَتْهُ يَسْتَبِينُ أَنَّهُ حَمْلٌ تَمَّ أَوْ لَمْ يَتِمَّ فَقَدِ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ مُضْغَةً .
9. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn Sama‘ah from al-Husayn ibn al-FIashim and Muhammad ibn Ziyad from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajja] who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, about the case of a woman who is pregnant: if her husband divorces her and she gives birth prematurely or by abortion or it is just a lump. He (the Imam) said, ‘Whatever she gives birth to shows that she was pregnant, complete or not. Her waiting period is complete even if it is a lump.”’
