7. Abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar and abu al-‘Abbas al-Razzaz from Ayyub ibn Nuh all from Safwan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah who has said the following: “Hamzah ibn Humran married daughter of Bukayr. In the night that she was to be brought to him women said to him, ‘We would not bring her to you until you swear. We will not agree to your swearing about setting free slaves because you do not consider it anything important; but you must swear about al-Zihar and form al-Zihar about the mothers of your children and slave-girls.’ He formed al-Zihar about them, then he mentioned it to abu ‘ Abd Allah . He (the Imam) said, ‘You do not owe anything because of it and you can go back to them.’”
