Hadith record

14. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘Once a man came to Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), and said, “Your wife from al-Shayban people is of Kharijiy sect who vilify Ali (a.s.). If you like I can manage for you to hear what she says.” He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, I agree.’ He (man) said, ‘Tomorrow as you come out of your home as you normally do, wait on the side of the house.’ Next day he (the Imam) waited on the side of the house and the man came. He spoke to her and it (vilification) became clear from her. He (the Imam) divorced her although he liked her quite well.’”
