[Machine] About this verse, Al-Hasan said: "They are only responsible for reconciliation and mediation between the parties, and they should consider that, and not the separation being in their hands. This is contrary to what has passed and it is the most correct statement of Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him. This is supported by what we have narrated from Ali, except that they should bring it to them. And Allah knows best."  

عَنِ الْحَسَنِ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {فَابْعَثُوا حَكَمًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَحَكَمًا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا} [النساء 35] قَالَ إِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِمَا أَنْ يُصْلِحَا وَأَنْ يَنْظُرَا فِي ذَلِكَ وَلَيْسَ الْفُرْقَةُ فِي أَيْدِيهِمَا هَذَا خِلَافُ مَا مَضَى وَهُوَ أَصَحُّ قَوْلِ الشَّافِعِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَعَلَيْهِ يَدُلُّ ظَاهِرُ مَا رُوِّينَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ إِلَّا أَنْ يَجْعَلَاهَا إِلَيْهِمَا وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
