Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20442 — Those who said: a woman is entrusted

Amir (al-Sha'bi) (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A woman whose husband had divorced her came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and claimed that she had had three menstrual periods in one month, and that after each period she had become pure and prayed. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) told Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) to judge her case. He said: "If religious and trustworthy people from among her relatives testify that she had three menstrual periods in one month and that she became pure after each period and prayed, then she is truthful; and if they do not testify, she is lying." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Qalun!" and made the sign of thirty with his hand, that is, he expressed his approval in the Roman way.
