People Do not Remain Straight in Matters of Divorce without the Sword
قَالَ أَحْمَدُ وَ ذَكَرَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنِ الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَوْ وَلِيتُ أَمْرَ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّمْتُهُمُ الطَّلَاقَ ثُمَّ لَمْ أُوتَ بِأَحَدٍ خَالَفَ إِلَّا أَوْجَعْتُهُ ضَرْباً .
4. Ahmad has said that certain persons of our people have narrated from abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, and Muhammad ibn Sama‘ah from the virtuous servant (of Allah) has said the following: “Had I been governing people I would teach them how to finalize a divorce case and thereafter make the violators to suffer pain.’”
