10. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu ‘Abd Allah who has said the following:

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about the case of a woman who is divorced; when can she get the control of her affairs? He (the Imam) said, ‘It happens when she sees Hayd (menses) for the third time after divorce.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if blood discharge begins earlier in her Hayd (menses)-free period?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If blood discharge is before ten days it is part of the previous Hayd (menses), thus he has the control of the affairs but if it is after ten days then it is of the third Hayd (menses) and she gets control of her affairs.’”
