2. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Husayn al-Taymiy from Muhammad ibn al-Walid from Yunus ibn Ya’qub who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin has said, ‘All praise belongs to Allah. What Allah places last no one is able to place it first, and no one is able to place last what He has placed first.’ He (the Imam) then tapped his one hand with the other hand. He said, ‘O confused nation after her Prophet, had you placed first what Allah had done so and had you placed last what Allah had placed last, had you placed people who possess divine authority and who inherit divine authority as Allah had done, people who possess divine authority would not become needy. Deficiency did not occur in the ordained obligations toward Allah. No two people ever disagree on an issue of the laws of Allah or a nation fight over a thing of the commandments of Allah. However, the answer to it and knowledge thereof is with us in the book of Allah. Thus, taste the evil consequences of your affairs and the excess that you committed by your hand’s sending ahead of you. Allah is not unjust to the servants and very soon the unjust will find to what terrible returning place they have returned.’”

Louange à Allah, Celui qui n'a pas de précédent pour ce qu'Il a reporté et pas de retard pour ce qu'Il a avancé. Puis il frappa une de ses mains avec l'autre et dit : "Ô communauté égarée après son Prophète, si vous aviez suivi celui qu'Allah a suivi et retardé celui qu'Allah a retardé, et si vous aviez placé l'autorité et l'héritage là où Allah les a placés, alors le vicaire d'Allah ne serait pas injuste envers Ses serviteurs, ni une part d'une des obligations d'Allah ne serait négligée, et deux personnes ne divergeraient pas dans un jugement d'Allah, et la communauté ne se disputerait pas sur un seul aspect de l'ordre d'Allah sans que nous ayons la connaissance de cela dans le Livre d'Allah. Goûtez donc à votre affaire et ce que vous avez négligé de ce que vos mains ont avancé. Et Allah n'est pas injuste envers les serviteurs. Et ceux qui ont fait du tort sauront quel retournement ils subiront."

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the case of a man who has married four women in one marriage contract or that he said in one session with different amounts of mahr (dower) for each one. He (the Imam) said, ’It is permissible for them.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if he travels to a different town and divorces one of the four in the presence of witnesses from the people of that town who do not know the woman. He then marries a woman from that town after completion of ‘Iddah (waiting period) of the woman he has divorced. Then he dies after going to bed with the woman whom he has married last; how his legacy is distributed? He (the Imam) said, ‘If he has children the share of the woman whom he has married last is one-fourth of one-eighth. If the woman divorced is identified in person and lineage, she will not receive any share and she must complete ‘Iddah (waiting period).’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The other three women must distribute the remaining three-forths of one-eighth and they must complete their ‘Iddah (waiting period). If the divorced woman cannot be identified, the four women distribute the three-forths of one-eighth among themselves and they all must complete their ‘Iddah (waiting period).”’
