[Machine] About a man who divorced his wife in an irregular manner, without witnesses, then he reconciled with her without witnesses. Imran said: "You divorced without following the Sunnah and you reconciled without following the Sunnah, so I bear witness to your divorce and your reconciliation."  

الطبراني:١٥٤٢٢ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ صَاحِبُ الْبَصْرِيِّ ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرِّشْكِ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ قَالَ سُئِلَ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ

عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ تَطْلِيقَةً وَلَمْ يُشْهِدْ ثُمَّ رَاجَعَهَا وَلَمْ يُشْهِدْ؟ فَقَالَ عِمْرَانُ «طَلَّقْتَ لِغَيْرِ سُنَّةٍ وَرَاجَعْتَ لِغَيْرِ سُنَّةٍ أَشْهِدْ عَلَى طَلَاقِهَا وَعَلَى رَجْعَتِهَا»

Imran ibn Husayn was asked about a person who divorces his wife, and then has intercourse with her, but he does not call any witness to her divorce nor to her restoration. He said: You divorced against the sunnah and took her back against the sunnah. Call someone to bear witness to her divorce, and to her return in marriage, and do not repeat it.
