A number of our companions...

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Dawood Al Nahdy, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan Musa -asws said to Abu Yusuf, the judge, that Allah Blessed and High Commanded in His -azwj Book with the divorce, and Emphasised therein with two witnesses and was not Pleased with the two except if they were just, and Commanded in His -azwj Book with the marriage but Left it out without witnesses.

So, you (on the other hand) have affirmed the two witnesses regarding what is to be left out, and invalidated the two witnesses regarding what is Emphasised’.

[3] .عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ بِغَيْرِ شُهُودٍ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِتَزْوِيجِ الْبَتَّةِ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الشُّهُودُ فِي تَزْوِيجِ الْبَتَّةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْوَلَدِ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ بَأْسٌ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara Bin Ayn who said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws was asked about the man who married the woman without witnesses. So, he -asws said: ‘There is no problem with a marriage at all regarding what is between him and Allah -azwj . But rather, the witnesses have been made (necessary) regarding the marriage due to the reason of the children. Had it not been that, there would not be a problem with it’.

[4] عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَتِ الْبَيِّنَاتُ لِلنَّسَبِ وَ الْمَوَارِيثِ وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى وَ الْحُدُودِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, altogether, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘But rather, the proofs had been made for the lineage and the inheritances. And in another report: ‘And the legal Punishments ( Hadd )’.

[5] عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي الرَّجُلِ يَتَزَوَّجُ بِغَيْرِ بَيِّنَةٍ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ .
