حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا الحسين بن أحمد المالكي، قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن طاووس سنة إحدى وأربعين ومائتين قال: قلت لأبي الحسن الرضا عليه السلام: إن لي ابن أخ زوجته ابنتي وهو يشرب الشراب ويكثر ذكر الطلاق. فقال: إذا كان من إخوانك فلا شئ عليه وإن كان من هؤلاء فأبنها منه. - فإنه عنى الفراق - قال: قلت: جعلت فداك أليس روي عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام أنه قال: إياكم والمطلقات ثلاثا في مجلس واحد فإنهن ذوات أزواج، فقال: ذاك من إخوانكم لا من هؤلاء لأنه من دان بدين قوم لزمته أحكامهم.
1.	We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Hussain bin Ahmad al-Maliki, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Tawus, year 241, that he said: I said to Abu’l-Hasan al-Rida, peace be upon him: There is a son of my brother to whom I married my daughter. He drinks intoxicant drinks and mentions divorce abundantly. He said: If he is from your brothers, there is nothing upon him, and if he is from those, then disconnect her from him – for he meant separation. He said: I said: May I be sacrificed for you, has it not been narrated of Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: «Beware from those (females) who have been divorced thrice in one gathering, for indeed, they are ones with husbands» [1]? He said: That refers to your brothers, not those, because the one who lives by the religion of a people is bound by their rulings.
