4. Abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from ’Isma‘il al-Ju‘fiy who has said the following:

“I once said to abu Ja‘far , that a man has divorced his wife. He (the Imam) said, ‘He has the right to go back to her as long as she has not seen blood discharge because of Hayd (menses) for the third time (after divorce).”’
