سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِذَا حَلَفَ الرَّجُلُ بِالظِّهَارِ فَحَنِثَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْهُ الظِّهَارُ فِي غَيْرِ يَمِينٍ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ بَعْدَ مَا يُوَاقِعُ. قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَ لَيْسَ يَصِحُّ هَذَا عَلَى جِهَةِ النَّظَرِ وَ الْأَثَرِ فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا الْأَثَرِ أَنْ يَكُونَ الظِّهَارَ لِأَنَ - أَصْحَابَنَا رَوَوْا أَنَّ الْأَيْمَانَ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ كَذَلِكَ نَزَلَ بِهَا الْقُرْآنُ

33. Muhammad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah al-Kufiy has narrated from Mu‘awiyah ibn al-Hakim from Safwan from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al- Hajj a] who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, saying, ‘If one swear to express al-Zihar then violates it, expiation becomes obligatory on him before going to bed with her, but if he has expressed the statement of al-Zihar without swearing, then expiation becomes due on him after going to bed with her.’” Mu’awiyah has said that this is not correct from thinking point of view. Hadith has come and our people have narrated that swearing can only take place ’by Allah’ and that is about which Quran has come.’”
