Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, said that the predecessors used to say regarding Ila that when four months pass, one irrevocable divorce will take place, and during her waiting period, he can send her a marriage proposal if he wishes. Ibn Aun, may Allah have mercy on him, says that I said to Muhammad that Amir, may Allah have mercy on him, used to say that only he can send her a marriage proposal during her waiting period, no one else can; he replied that Amir, may Allah have mercy on him, spoke the truth.
