4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Safwan ibn Yahya who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’ (a.s.), was asked about the case of a man whose wife becomes clean of Hayd (menses) and he says this: ‘So and so is ‘Taliq’ (let go, divorced) and a people hears his statement but he does not ask them to bear witness: if divorce takes place or not, he (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, is bearing witness.’”
