5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from ‘Abd al-Karim from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that al-KhuV is not permissible until she says to her husband ... he (the Imam) then mentioned what his people mention. Abu ‘Abd Allah , then said, ’Less than such expressions was permitted for women and when she said such things to her husband then al-Khul ‘ became lawful for her husband for whatever payment he received. She is then for two more divorces and al-Khul‘ is one divorce. The expressions must come from her side.’ He (the Imam) then said, ’Had the matter been in our hands divorce could only take place in the manner with the waiting period.’”
