1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from al-Hajj aj al-Khashshab who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who is on a journey and when he enters the city he brings two witnesses, and when his wife comes to the door he asks them to bear witness to the divorce. He (the Imam) said, ’Divorce does not take place in this way.’”
