مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ يُطَلِّقُهَا زَوْجُهَا فَلَا يُعْلِمُ إِلَّا بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ فَقَالَ إِنْ جَاءَ شَاهِدَا عَدْلٍ فَلَا تَعْتَدَّ وَ إِلَّا فَلْتَعْتَدَّ مِنْ يَوْمِ يَبْلُغُهَا .
4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Shu’ayb ibn Ya’qub from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “Once, abu ‘Abd Allah , was asked about the case of a man who divorces his wife. He informs her about it only after one year. He (the Imam) said, ‘If two just witness testify to prove it, she does not need to complete any ‘Iddah (waiting period), otherwise, she must commence her ‘Iddah (waiting period) from the day she is informed.’”
