أَخْبَرَنَا الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ شِقَاقَ بَيْنِهِمَا فَابْعَثُوا حَكَمًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَحَكَمًا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا [النِّسَاءِ: 35] . قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَامْرَأَةٌ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، وَمَعَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِئَامٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَأَمَرَهُمْ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَبَعَثُوا حَكَمًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَحَكَمًا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْحَكَمَيْنِ: تَدْرِيَانِ مَا عَلَيْكُمَا إِنْ رَأَيْتُمَا أَنْ تَجْمَعَا وَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمَا أَنْ تُفَرِّقَا، قَالَ: قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: رَضِيتُ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ بِمَا عَلَيَّ فِيهِ وَلِي. وَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: أَمَّا الْفُرْقَةُ فَلَا، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: كَذَبْتَ وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى تُقِرَّ بِمِثْلِ الَّذِي أَقَرَّتْ بِهِ.
It is narrated from Ubaidah (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding this verse: "If you fear a breach between them (the husband and wife), appoint two arbiters, one from his family and the other from hers" (An-Nisa: 35), that during the caliphate of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), a husband and wife came to him along with people from their respective families. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered them to appoint one arbiter from the man's family and one from the woman's family. Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the two arbiters: "Do you know what your task is? If you deem it appropriate, reconcile them, and if you wish, separate them." Upon hearing this, the woman said: "I am content with the decision of Allah's Book, whether it is reconciliation or separation," and the man said: "I do not accept separation." At this, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, you are lying; you must accept both options in the same way."
