عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَهُ إِذْ مَرَّ بِهِ نَافِعٌ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَاحِدَةً وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عُمَرَ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ كَذَبْتَ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَا سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ طَلَّقْتُهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ثَلَاثاً فَرَدَّهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلَيَّ وَ أَمْسَكْتُهَا بَعْدَ الطَّلَاقِ فَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَا نَافِعُ وَ لَا تَرْوِ عَلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ الْبَاطِلَ .
18. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Zurarah who has said the following: “Once, I was with Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, when, Nafi’ Mawla’ Ibn ’Umar came to visit him (the Imam). Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, asked him, ‘Are you the one who believes that ibn ‘Umar divorced his wife once during her experiencing Hayd (menses) and the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم commanded ‘Umar to ask him to go back to his wife?’ He replied, ‘Yes, that is correct.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You have spoken a lie against ibn ‘Umar, by Allah, besides whom no one deserves worship. I heard ibn ‘Umar saying, “I divorced her during the time of the Messenger of Allah, three divorces but the Messenger of Allah reversed it on me and I kept her after divorce.” O Nafi‘ you must have fear of Allah and do not narrate falsehood against ibn ‘Umar.’”
