4833 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ اِمْرَأَتِهِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَالَ "يُكَفِّرُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ" قُلْتُ إِنْ وَاقَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ قَالَ "يَسْتَغْفِرُ اَللَّهَ وَ يُمْسِكُ حَتَّى يُكَفِّرَ".
Hadith.4833 - Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi who said: I asked Abu Abdullah 
about a man who declared ẓihar (a form of divorce by comparison) against his wife three times.
Imam said: "He must offer expiation three times."
I asked: "What if he engages in intercourse with her before offering the expiation?"
Imam replied: "He must seek Allah's (swt) forgiveness and abstain until he completes the expiation."
