Ḥadīth 1

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ الْخَشَّابِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْمِصْرَ جَاءَ مَعَهُ بِشَاهِدَيْنِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ عَلَى الْبَابِ أَشْهَدَهُمَا عَلَى طَلَاقِهَا قَالَ لَا يَقَعُ بِهَا طَلَاقٌ .

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from al-Hajj aj al-Khashshab who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who is on a journey and when he enters the city he brings two witnesses, and when his wife comes to the door he asks them to bear witness to the divorce. He (the Imam) said, ’Divorce does not take place in this way.’”

Ḥadīth 2

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِذَا غَابَ الرَّجُلُ عَنِ امْرَأَتِهِ سَنَةً أَوْ سَنَتَيْنِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ ثُمَّ قَدِمَ وَ أَرَادَ طَلَاقَهَا وَ كَانَتْ حَائِضاً تَرَكَهَا حَتَّى تَطْهُرَ ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا .

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn al-Husayn has narrated from Hakam ibn Miskin from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When a man is absent from his wife for one year or two years or more, then comes and wants to divorce her when she is experiencing Hayd (menses), he must leave her until she becomes clean, then divorce her.’”
