testimony-judgment
3324 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَهُرَتِ اِمْرَأَتُهُ مِنْ حَيْضِهَا فَقَالَ فُلاَنَةُ طَالِقٌ وَ قَوْمٌ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلاَمَهُ وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ لَهُمُ اِشْهَدُوا أَ يَقَعُ اَلطَّلاَقُ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ "نَعَمْ هَذِهِ شَهَادَةٌ أَ فَتَتْرُكُهَا مُعَلَّقَةً".
Hadith.3324 - Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Ashyam narrated that he asked Abu al-Hasan, peace be upon him, about a man whose wife became pure from her menstruation, and he said: "So-and-so is divorced," while people were listening to his words, but he did not tell them, "Bear witness." Does the divorce take effect upon her? Imam (as) said: "Yes, this is a testimony. Would you leave her in suspense?"
