مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَحْمَرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ خَطَّابِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ كَانَتْ عِنْدِي امْرَأَةٌ تَصِفُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ وَ كَانَ أَبُوهَا كَذَلِكَ وَ كَانَتْ سَيِّئَةَ الْخُلُقِ فَكُنْتُ أَكْرَهُ طَلَاقَهَا لِمَعْرِفَتِي بِإِيمَانِهَا وَ إِيمَانِ أَبِيهَا فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ طَلَاقِهَا فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً فَتَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ ائْتِنِي غَداً صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِقَالَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْتُ الظُّهْرَ أَتَيْتُهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ صَلَّى وَ جَلَسَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ جَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَابْتَدَأَنِي فَقَالَ يَا خَطَّابُ كَانَ أَبِي زَوَّجَنِي ابْنَةَ عَمٍّ لِي وَ كَانَتْ سَيِّئَةَ الْخُلُقِ وَ كَانَ أَبِي رُبَّمَا أَغْلَقَ عَلَيَّ وَ عَلَيْهَا الْبَابَ رَجَاءَ أَنْ أَلْقَاهَا فَأَتَسَلَّقُ الْحَائِطَ وَ أَهْرُبُ مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبِي طَلَّقْتُهَافَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَجَابَنِي وَ اللَّهِ عَنْ حَاجَتِي مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ .
2. Muhammad ibn al-Husayn has narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Ahmar from ‘Abd Allah ibn Hammad Khattab ibn Salmah who has said the following: “I had a wife who believed (in the divine authority of ‘ A’immah ) and so also was her father, but she had very bad moral behaviors and I did not like to divorce her because of her belief and the belief of her father. I met abu al-Hassan, Musa (a.s.), and I wanted to ask him (the Imam) if divorcing her is proper saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I need an answer to a question and I like to ask you.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Come tomorrow at the time of al- Zuhr Salat (prayer). He (the narrator) has said, ‘After performing al-Zuhr Salat (prayer) I went to see him (the Imam) and I found that he (the Imam) had completed his Salat (prayer) and he was sitting. I went inside and sat in front of him (the Imam). He (the Imam) initiated speaking to me and said, ‘O Khattab, my father made me marry a daughter of my uncle and her moral behaviors were very bad. My father sometimes would close the door on both of us in the hope that I may meet her, instead of climbing the wall to run away. When my father passed away I divorced her.’ I (the narrator) then said to myself, ‘Allah is Greater than can be described, He (the Imam) has answered my question before I could even ask him (the Imam).”’
