26. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan from “Amr ibn Sa‘id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from ‘Ammar ibn Musa who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about al-Zihar (calling one’s wife as one’s mother) which brings about the obligation. He (the Imam) said,

‘It is exactly that whereby a man wants al- Zihar.’”
