أَحَدُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي قَيْدِهِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَامْرَأَتُهُ طَالِقٌ ثَلَاثاً فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ كَمَا قُلْتَ فَامْرَأَتُهُ طَالِقٌ ثَلَاثاً فَذَهَبَا إِلَى مَوْلَى الْعَبْدِ وَ هُوَ الْمُقَيِّدُ فَقَالا لَهُ إِنَّا حَلَفْنَا عَلَى كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَحُلَّ قَيْدَ غُلَامِكَ حَتَّى نَزِنَهُ فَقَالَ مَوْلَى الْعَبْدِ امْرَأَتُهُ طَالِقٌ إِنْ حَلَلْتُ قَيْدَ غُلَامِي فَارْتَفَعُوا إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَصُّوا عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ مَوْلَاهُ أَحَقُّ بِهِ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لَعَلَّهُ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ فِي هَذَا شَيْءٌ فَأَتَوْا عَلِيّاً ع فَقَصُّوا عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ مَا أَهْوَنَ هَذَا فَدَعَا بِجَفْنَةٍ وَ أَمَرَ بِقَيْدِهِ فَشُدَّ فِيهِ خَيْطٌ وَ أَدْخَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَ الْقَيْدَ فِي الْجَفْنَةِ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى امْتَلَأَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ ع ارْفَعُوا الْقَيْدَ فَرَفَعُوا الْقَيْدَ حَتَّى أُخْرِجَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَلَمَّا أُخْرِجَ نَقَصَ الْمَاءُ ثُمَ دَعَا بِزُبَرِ الْحَدِيدِ فَأَرْسَلَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ حَتَّى تَرَاجَعَ الْمَاءُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ وَ الْقَيْدُ فِي الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ زِنُوا هَذَا الزُّبَرَ فَهُوَ وَزْنُهُ.

Hadith.3246 - In the narration of Amr ibn Shimr, from Jafar ibn Ghalib al-Asadi, who reported: Two men were sitting during the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab when a man passed by them in chains. One of the men said: "If there is not such-and-such weight in his chains, then my wife is divorced three times." The other man said: "If there is such-and-such weight in his chains as you said, then my wife is divorced three times." They went to the owner of the chained slave and said: "We have sworn oaths regarding such-and-such, so release the chain of your slave so that we may weigh it." The owner of the slave said: "My wife will be divorced if I release the chain of my slave." So, they went to Umar and told him the story. Umar said: "The owner has more right over his slave. Go to Ali ibn Abi Talib - perhaps he has something regarding this matter." They went to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) and told him the story. Imam (as) said: "How simple this is!" Imam (as) called for a large basin and ordered the chain to be tied with a string and placed in the basin. Then Imam (as) put the man's feet and the chain into the basin and filled it with water until it was full. Then Imam (as) said: "Lift the chain." When they lifted the chain out of the water, the water level dropped. Imam (as) then called for pieces of iron and placed them into the water until the water level returned to its original position. Then Imam (as) said: "Weigh these pieces of iron-they are equal in weight to the chain."
