فَإِنَّا وَجَدْنَاهُنَّ لَا وَرَعَ لَهُنَّ عِنْدَ حَاجَتِهِنَّ وَ لَا صَبْرَ لَهُنَّ عَنْ شَهْوَتِهِنَّ الْبَذَخُ لَهُنَّ لَازِمٌ وَ إِنْ كَبِرْنَ وَ الْعُجْبُ بِهِنَّ لَاحِقٌ وَ إِنْ عَجَزْنَ لَا يَشْكُرْنَ الْكَثِيرَ إِذَا مُنِعْنَ الْقَلِيلَ يَنْسَيْنَ الْخَيْرَ وَ يَحْفَظْنَ الشَّرَّ يَتَهَافَتْنَ بِالْبُهْتَانِ وَ يَتَمَادَيْنَ بِالطُّغْيَانِ وَ يَتَصَدَّيْنَ لِلشَّيْطَانِ فَدَارُوهُنَّ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَ أَحْسِنُوا لَهُنَّ الْمَقَالَ لَعَلَّهُنَّ يُحْسِنَّ الْفِعَالَ.
We have found them lacking restraint when in need and lacking patience when faced with their desires. Extravagance clings to them even as they grow old, and vanity follows them even when they are weak. They do not appreciate abundance if deprived of a little; they forget good and remember evil. They rush into slander, persist in rebellion, and align themselves with Satan-la. So, treat them with consideration in all situations and speak kindly to them, that they may perhaps do good in return’’.[43]

From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Do not consult women in confidential matters, and do not obey them concerning family relations. Indeed, when a woman grows old, the better half of her nature departs and the worse remains, her beauty fades, her womb becomes barren, and her tongue becomes sharp.
وَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا كَبِرَ ذَهَبَ شَرُّ شَطْرَيْهِ وَ بَقِيَ خَيْرُهُمَا ثَبَتَ عَقْلُهُ وَ اسْتَحْكَمَ رَأْيُهُ وَ قَلَّ جَهْلُهُ.
But when a man grows old, the worse half of his nature departs and the better remains, his intellect becomes firmer, his judgment strengthens, and his ignorance lessens!’’[66]

And he-asws said: ‘After the battle of Al-Jamal in condemnation of the women: ‘Community of the people! Women are deficient of the Eman, deficient of the shares, and deficient of the intellects!
فَأَمَّا نُقْصَانُ إِيمَانِهِنَّ فَقُعُودُهُنَّ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ وَ الصِّيَامِ فِي أَيَّامِ حَيْضِهِنَّ وَ أَمَّا نُقْصَانُ عُقُولِهِنَّ فَشَهَادَةُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ كَشَهَادَةِ الرَّجُلِ الْوَاحِدِ وَ أَمَّا نُقْصَانُ حُظُوظِهِنَّ فَمَوَارِيثُهُنَّ عَلَى الْأَنْصَافِ مِنْ مَوَارِيثِ الرِّجَالِ
As for deficient of the Eman, it is their sitting back from the Salat and the Fasting during the days of menstruation; and as for deficient of their intellects, the testimony of two women from them is like the one testimony of a man; and as for deficiency of their shares, their inheritances are upon the half from the inheritances of the men.
فَاتَّقُوا شِرَارَ النِّسَاءِ وَ كُونُوا مِنْ خِيَارِهِنَّ عَلَى حَذَرٍ وَ لَا تُطِيعُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ حَتَّى لَا يَطْمَعْنَ فِي الْمُنْكَرِ
Fear evil of the women and be cautious from their choices, and do not obey them in the good so that would not make you covet the evil’’.[73]

As for the misfortune of the women, it is her large dowry and disloyalty to her husband; and as for the mount, it is its evil temperament its refusal of its back; and as for the house, the narrowness of its courtyard, and its evil neighbours, and its many defects’’.[75]

Al-Sadouq, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, said, ‘Gathers and unites’, i.e. of much good, fertile’; and ‘fertile springtime’ is one who has a child in her lap and another in her belly; ‘one who brings crushing distress’, i.e. of evil manners with her husband; and ‘filthy shackle’, i.e. she is to her husband like a lice-infested shackle, a leather shackle in which lice multiply and bite, yet the wearer cannot scratch or relieve himself from it. It is an Arab proverb used to describe extreme discomfort and helplessness’.

He-saww said: ‘Consider where you place yourself, and who you participate in your wealth, and notify upon your religion and your secret and your entrustment. If you have no escape to doing (getting married), then (marry) a virgin attributed to the goodness and to good manners, and know that these (women) are just as has been said, ‘Indeed, women are created in various forms, some are a Blessing and love, some are like the moon when it appears to its companion, and some are like darkness. So, whoever attains one of the righteous among them will be happy, and whoever is deceived, he has no recourse for revenge’.

And they are three – a woman who is fertile, loving, and supportive of her husband against the trials of life for his worldly affairs and his Hereafter and she does not assist the hardships of life against him; a woman who is barren, lacking beauty and character, and offers no support to her husband in doing good; and a woman who is loud, constantly going out, fault-finding, belittles much, and is never satisfied with little’’.[84]

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Among the children of Israel there was an intellectual man of a lot of wealth, and there was a son for him resembling him in the appearance from a chaste wife, and there were two sons for him from an unchaste wife.
فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَذَا مَالِي لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ
When the death presented to him, he said to them, ‘This wealth of mine is for one of you!’
فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ قَالَ الْكَبِيرُ أَنَا ذَلِكَ الْوَاحِدُ وَ قَالَ الْأَوْسَطُ أَنَا ذَلِكَ وَ قَالَ الْأَصْغَرُ أَنَا ذَلِكَ
When he dies, the elder said, ‘I am that one!’ And the middle ones said: ‘I am that!’ And the young one said, ‘I am that!’
فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى قَاضِيهِمْ قَالَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي فِي أَمْرِكُمْ شَيْءٌ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى بَنِي غَنَّامٍ الْإِخْوَةِ الثَّلَاثِ
They took the dispute to their judge. He said, ‘There is nothing with me regarding your matter. Go to the sons of Ghanaam, the three brothers!’
فَانْتَهُوا إِلَى وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فَرَأَوْا شَيْخاً كَبِيراً فَقَالَ لَهُمُ ادْخُلُوا إِلَى أَخِي فُلَانٍ فَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي فَاسْأَلُوهُ
They ended to one of them. They saw him as an aged old man. He said to them, ‘Enter to see so and so my brother, for he is older than me, and ask him!’
فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَخَرَجَ شَيْخٌ كَهْلٌ فَقَالَ سَلُوا أَخِي الْأَكْبَرَ مِنِّي
They entered to see him. An old man in the prime of his middle age emerged. He said, ‘Ask my brother older than me!’
فَدَخَلُوا عَلَى الثَّالِثِ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي الْمَنْظَرِ أَصْغَرُ فَسَأَلُوهُ أَوَّلًا عَنْ حَالِهِمْ ثُمَّ مُبَيِّناً لَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَمَّا أَخِي الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمُوهُ أَوَّلًا هُوَ الْأَصْغَرُ وَ إِنَّ لَهُ امْرَأَةَ سَوْءٍ تَسُوؤُهُ وَ قَدْ صَبَرَ عَلَيْهَا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُبْتَلَى بِبَلَاءٍ لَا صَبْرَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَهَرَّمَتْهُ
They entered to see the third one. When he was in the younger scenario. They asked him first of their situation, then it became clear to them. He said, ‘As for my brother whom you saw first, he is the youngest, and there is an evil wife for him. She is bad to him and he has been patient upon her fearing he might be afflicted with an affliction there will be no patience for him upon it, so this has aged him.
وَ أَمَّا الثَّانِي أَخِي فَإِنَّ عِنْدَهُ زَوْجَةً تَسُوؤُهُ وَ تَسُرُّهُ فَهُوَ مُتَمَاسِكُ الشَّبَابِ
And as for my second brother, with him is a wife being bad to him and good to him, so he is adhering with the youthfulness.
وَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَزَوْجَتِي تَسُرُّنِي وَ لَا تَسُوؤُنِي لَمْ يَلْزَمْنِي مِنْهَا مَكْرُوهٌ قَطُّ مُنْذُ صَحِبَتْنِي فَشَبَابِي مَعَهَا مُتَمَاسِكٌ
And as for me, my wife makes me happy and is not bad to me. No abhorrence has come to me from her at all since she accompanied me, therefore my youth with her, has adhered.
As for your narration which is a narration of your father, firstly, go and exhume his grave and extract his bones and burn them, then return for the judgment between you!’
فَانْصَرَفُوا فَأَخَذَ الصَّبِيُّ سَيْفَ أَبِيهِ وَ أَخَذَ الْأَخَوَانُ الْمَعَاوِلَ فَلَمَّا أَنْ هَمَّا بِذَلِكَ قَالَ لَهُمُ الصَّغِيرُ لَا تُبَعْثِرُوا قَبْرَ أَبِي وَ أَنَا أَدَعُ لَكُمَا حِصَّتِي
They left. The boy took a sword of his father, and the two brothers took the pickaxes. When they were both like that, the young one said to them, ‘Do not exhume the grave of my father, and I shall give my share to you both!’
فَانْصَرَفُوا إِلَى الْقَاضِي فَقَالَ يُقْنِعُكُمَا هَذَا ايتُونِي بِالْمَالِ
They left to go to the judge. He said, ‘This should satisfy you both. Bring me the money!’
فَقَالَ لِلصَّغِيرِ خُذِ الْمَالَ
He said to the young one, ‘Take the money!’
فَلَوْ كَانَا ابْنَيْهِ لَدَخَلَهُمَا مِنَ الرِّقَّةِ كَمَا دَخَلَ عَلَى الصَّغِيرِ.

(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza-asws’, may the greeting be upon him-asws – ‘When you want to get married, seek the Choice (of Allah-azwj) and continue. Then pray two units Salat and raise (your voice) with that and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I want to get married, so Facilitate for me from the women, their best in manners and creation, and their most chaste of private parts, and their most protective of herself regarding me and regarding my wealth, and their most perfect in beauty, and their most numerous of children!’
وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ النِّسَاءَ شَتَّى فَمِنْهُنَّ الْغَنِيمَةُ وَ الْغَرَامَةُ وَ هِيَ الْمُتَحَبِّبَةُ لِزَوْجِهَا وَ الْعَاشِقَةُ لَهُ وَ مِنْهُنَّ الْهِلَالُ إِذَا تَجَلَّى وَ مِنْهُنَّ الظَّلَامُ الْحِنْدِيسُ الْمُقَطِّبَةُ فَمَنْ ظَفِرَ بِصَالِحَتِهِنَّ يَسْعَدُ وَ مَنْ وَقَعَ فِي طَالِحَتِهِنَّ فَقَدِ ابْتُلِيَ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ انْتِقَامٌ
And know that the women are various. From them is the one who brings gain and love, she is affectionate toward her husband and deeply loves him. Among them is one like the full moon when it appears. And among them is the intense darkness, frowning and harsh. Whoever is fortunate to have one of the righteous among them will be happy, and whoever ends up with one of the wicked among them has been tested and has no recourse.
وَ هُنَّ ثَلَاثٌ فَامْرَأَةٌ وَلُودٌ وَدُودٌ تُعِينُ زَوْجَهَا عَلَى دَهْرِهِ لِدُنْيَاهُ وَ آخِرَتِهِ وَ لَا تُعِينُ الدَّهْرَ عَلَيْهِ وَ امْرَأَةٌ عَقِيمَةٌ لَا ذَاتُ جَمَالٍ وَ لَا تُعِينُ زَوْجَهَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ وَ امْرَأَةٌ صَخَّابَةٌ وَلَّاجَةٌ هَمَّازَةٌ تَسْتَقِلُّ الْكَثِيرَ وَ لَا تَقْبَلُ الْكَثِيرَ
They are three types – a woman who is fertile, loving, and supportive of her husband in facing the trials of life, both in this world and the hereafter, and who does not side with life’s hardships against him; and a woman who is barren, neither beautiful nor supportive of her husband in any good; and a woman who is loud, constantly going out, critical, who sees much as being little and does not appreciate what is abundant.

Beware of being deceived by one with such traits, for Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Beware of the green growth on dung!’ It was said, “O Rasool-Allah-saww! What is the green growth on dung?” He-saww said: “A beautiful woman raised in an evil environment’.[88]

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَرِّ نِسَائِكُمْ
Then he-saww said: ‘Shall I-saww inform you of your worst women?’

He-saww said: ‘Among the worst of your women is the one who is lowly among her family yet domineering with her husband, barren, spiteful, unrestrained from indecency, who flaunts herself when her husband is absent, and when he is alone with her, withholds herself from him like an unruly mount resisting its rider. She does not accept his excuse and does not forgive his offence!’’[93]

He-saww said: ‘From the best of your women is the one who is fertile, loving, modest, chaste, respected among her family, humble with her husband, guarded with others, who listens to him and obeys his instructions. When he is alone with her, she offers him what he desires from her’’.[123]

And he-asws said: ‘Worst of your women is the rude, shameless, loud-mouthed, foul-speaking, and meddlesome tale-bearer. The tale-bearer is the one who spreads gossip. The ‘rude’ among women is the one with little modesty, and the ‘grim-faced’ is the one who is constantly frowning (complaining)’.[127]

The Prophet-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created Adam-as from clay, from its remnants and its remainder Hawwa-as was Created, and the first one to obey the woman was Adam-as, so Allah-azwj Sent him-as down from the Paradise. The merit of the men over the women is manifest in the world. Don’t you see the women how they menstruate and the worship is not enabled for them due to the impurity, while the men are not afflicted by anything from the menstruation?’

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq –
‘In a Hadeeth of the prohibitions, the Prophet-saww prohibited the wife going out from her house without permission of her husband. If she does go out, she is cursed by every Angel in the sky, and everything she passes by, from the Jinn and the humans, until she returns to her house.
وَ نَهَى أَنْ تَتَزَيَّنَ الْمَرْأَةُ لِغَيْرِ زَوْجِهَا فَإِنْ فَعَلَتْ كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُحْرِقَهَا بِالنَّارِ وَ نَهَى أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ الْمَرْأَةُ عِنْدَ غَيْرِ زَوْجِهَا وَ غَيْرِ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ مِنْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَمْسِ كَلِمَاتٍ مِمَّا لَا بُدَّ لَهَا مِنْهُ وَ نَهَى أَنْ تُحَدِّثَ الْمَرْأَةُ بِمَا تَخْلُو بِهِ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا.

If she does, there would be a right upon Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic to Burn her with the Fire, and prohibited the wife to talk in the presence of other than her husband and every one other not being with sanctity from her more than five phrases from what there is no escape for her from it, and he-saww prohibited the wife from narrating what occurred with her privacy with her husband’’.[140]
14 وَ نَهَى أَنْ يُدْخِلَ الرَّجُلُ حَلِيلَتَهُ إِلَى الْحَمَّامِ.
And he-saww prohibited the man to admit his wife into the bathhouse’’.[141]
15- وَ قَالَ: أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ آذَتْ زَوْجَهَا بِلِسَانِهَا لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ مِنْهَا صَرْفاً وَ لَا عَدْلًا وَ لَا حَسَنَةً مِنْ عَمَلِهَا حَتَّى تُرْضِيَهُ وَ إِنْ صَامَتْ نَهَارَهَا وَ قَامَتْ لَيْلَهَا وَ أَعْتَقَتِ الرِّقَابَ وَ حَمَلَتْ عَلَى جِيَادِ الْخَيْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ كَانَتْ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَرِدُ النَّارَ وَ كَذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا كَانَ لَهَا ظَالِماً.
And he-saww said: ‘Whichever woman hurts her husband by her tongue, Allah-azwj will neither Accept any offering nor ransom, nor any good deed from her deeds until she pleases him, and even if she fasts her days and stands her night, and liberates necks, and loads upon the military horses in the way of Allah-azwj, and she will be the first one to arrive at the Fire, and like that is the man when he was unjust to her’’.[142]
16- أَلَا وَ مَنْ صَبَرَ عَلَى خُلُقِ امْرَأَةٍ سَيِّئَةِ الْخُلُقِ وَ احْتَسَبَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْأَجْرَ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ ثَوَابَ الشَّاكِرِينَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ أَلَا وَ أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ لَمْ تَرْفُقْ بِزَوْجِهَا وَ حَمَلَتْهُ عَلَى مَا لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَا لَا يُطِيقُ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ مِنْهَا حَسَنَةٌ وَ تَلْقَى اللَّهَ وَ هُوَ عَلَيْهَا غَضْبَانُ.
Indeed, and the one who is patient upon the evil manners of his wife and anticipates the Recompense in that, Allah-azwj will Give him Rewards of the grateful in the Hereafter! Indeed, and whichever wife is not gentle with her husband and carries him to what he is not able upon and what he cannot endure, good deeds will not be Accepted from her and she will meet Allah-azwj and He-azwj would be Wrathful upon her!’’[143]

فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ رَأَيْتُ نِسَاءً مِنْ نِسَاءِ أُمَّتِي فِي عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ فَأَنْكَرْتُ شَأْنَهُنَّ فَبَكَيْتُ لِمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ عَذَابِهِنَّ
He-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! On the night there was ascension with me-saww to the sky, I-saww saw women from the women of my-saww community being in severe torment. I-asws disliked their situation so I-asws cried due to what I-saww saw from the severity of their punishment.
رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مُعَلَّقَةً بِشَعْرِهَا يَغْلِي دِمَاغُ رَأْسِهَا وَ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مُعَلَّقَةً بِلِسَانِهَا وَ الْحَمِيمُ يُصَبُّ فِي حَلْقِهَا وَ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مُعَلَّقَةً بِثَدْيَيْهَا وَ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً تَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ جَسَدِهَا وَ النَّارُ تُوقَدُ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا وَ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً قَدْ شُدَّ رِجَلَاهَا إِلَى يَدَيْهَا وَ قَدْ سُلِّطَ عَلَيْهَا الْحَيَّاتُ وَ الْعَقَارِبُ
I-saww saw a woman suspended by her hair, the brain of her head was boiling, and I-asws saw a woman suspended by her tongue and the boiling water was being poured in her throat, and I-saww saw a woman suspended by her breasts, and I-saww saw a woman eating the meat of her own body and the fire was being ignited under her, and I-saww saw a woman whose legs were tied to her hands and the snakes and the scorpions prevailed over her!
وَ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً صَمَّاءَ عَمْيَاءَ خَرْسَاءَ فِي تَابُوتٍ مِنْ نَارٍ يَخْرُجُ دِمَاغُ رَأْسِهَا مِنْ مَنْخِرِهَا وَ بَدَنُهَا مُتَقَطِّعٌ مِنَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْبَرَصِ وَ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً مُعَلَّقَةً بِرِجْلَيْهَا فِي تَنُّورٍ مِنْ نَارٍ وَ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً يُقَطَّعُ لَحْمُ جَسَدِهَا مِنْ مُقَدَّمِهَا وَ مُؤَخَّرِهَا بِمَقَارِيضَ مِنْ نَارٍ وَ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً يُحْرَقُ وَجْهُهَا وَ يَدَاهَا وَ هِيَ تَأْكُلُ أَمْعَاءَهَا
And I-saww saw a woman deaf, blind, mute, in a coffin of fire. The brain of her head was coming out from her nostrils and her body was cut (falling off) from the leprosy and the vitiligo, and I-saww saw a woman suspended by her legs in an oven of fire, and I-saww saw a woman whose flesh was being cut from her front and her back by scissors of fire, and I-saww was a woman who face and hands were burning while she was eating her own intestines!
وَ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً رَأْسُهَا رَأْسُ خِنْزِيرٍ وَ بَدَنُهَا بَدَنُ الْحِمَارِ وَ عَلَيْهَا أَلْفُ أَلْفِ لَوْنٍ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ وَ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً عَلَى صُورَةِ الْكَلْبِ وَ النَّارُ تَدْخُلُ فِي دُبُرِهَا وَ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ فِيهَا وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ رَأْسَهَا وَ بَدَنَهَا بِمَقَامِعَ مِنْ نَارٍ
And I-saww saw a woman, her head was head of a pig, and her body was the body of a donkey and upon her were a million types of punishments, and I-saww saw a woman upon the image of a dog and the fire was entering her backside and coming out from her mouth, and the Angels were beating her head with hammers of fire!’
فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع حَبِيبِي وَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنِي أَخْبِرْنِي مَا كَانَ عَمَلُهُنَّ وَ سِيرَتُهُنَّ حَتَّى وَضَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِنَّ هَذَا الْعَذَابَ
(Syeda) Fatima-asws said: ‘My-asws beloved and delight of my-asws eyes! Inform me-asws, what were their deeds and their conducts until Allah-azwj Placed these punishments upon them?’
فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّتِي أَمَّا الْمُعَلَّقَةُ بِشَعْرِهَا فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ لَا تُغَطِّي شَعْرَهَا مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَ أَمَّا الْمُعَلَّقَةُ بِلِسَانِهَا فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُؤْذِي زَوْجَهَا وَ أَمَّا الْمُعَلَّقَةُ بِثَدْيَيْهَا فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَمْتَنِعُ مِنْ فِرَاشِ زَوْجِهَا وَ أَمَّا الْمُعَلَّقَةُ بِرِجْلَيْهَا فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا
He-saww said: ‘O my-saww daughter-asws! As for the one suspended by her hair, she was not covering her hair from the men, and as for the one suspended by her tongue, she used to hurt her husband (by her speech), and as for the one suspended by her breasts, she used to refuse from the bed of her husband, and as for the one suspended by her legs, she used to go out from her house without permission of her husband.
وَ أَمَّا الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَأْكُلُ لَحْمَ جَسَدِهَا فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُزَيِّنُ بَدَنَهَا لِلنَّاسِ وَ أَمَّا الَّتِي شُدَّ يَدَاهَا إِلَى رِجْلَيْهَا وَ سُلِّطَ عَلَيْهَا الْحَيَّاتُ وَ الْعَقَارِبُ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ قَذِرَةَ الْوَضُوءِ قَذِرَةَ الثِّيَابِ وَ كَانَتْ لَا تَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ وَ الْحَيْضِ وَ لَا تَتَنَظَّفُ وَ كَانَتْ تَسْتَهِينُ بِالصَّلَاةِ
And as for the one who was eating the meat of her own body, she used to adorn her body for the people, and as for the one whose hands were tied to her legs and the snakes and scorpions prevailed upon her, she was filthy in her Wud’u. Filthy of the clothes, and she would not wash from the sexual impurity and the menstruation, nor keep herself clean, and she used to take lightly with the Salat.
وَ أَمَّا الْعَمْيَاءُ الصَّمَّاءُ الْخَرْسَاءُ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَلِدُ مِنَ الزِّنَا فَتُعَلِّقُهُ فِي عُنُقِ زَوْجِهَا وَ أَمَّا الَّتِي كَانَتْ يُقْرَضُ لَحْمُهَا بِالْمَقَارِيضِ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهَا عَلَى الرِّجَالِ وَ أَمَّا الَّتِي كَانَتْ يُحْرَقُ وَجْهُهَا وَ بَدَنُهَا وَ هِيَ تَأْكُلُ أَمْعَاءَهَا فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ قَوَّادَةً وَ أَمَّا الَّتِي كَانَتْ رَأْسُهَا رَأْسَ خِنْزِيرٍ وَ بَدَنُهَا بَدَنَ الْحِمَارِ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ نَمَّامَةً كَذَّابَةً
And as for the blind, the deaf, the mute, she had given birth from the adultery and attached it in the neck of her husband, and as for the one whose flesh was being cut by the scissors, she used to present herself to the men, and as for the one whose face and hands were being burned while she was eating her own intestines, she was a pimp, and as for the one who head was head of a pig, and her body was the body of a donkey, she was a lying gossiper.
وَ أَمَّا الَّتِي عَلَى صُورَةِ الْكَلْبِ وَ النَّارُ تَدْخُلُ فِي دُبُرِهَا وَ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ فِيهَا فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ قَيْنَةً نَوَّاحَةً حَاسِدَةً
And as for the one upon the image of a dog and the fire was entering her backside and coming out from her mouth, she was a singer (singing slave girl), a (professional) mourner, envious!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ ص وَيْلٌ لِامْرَأَةٍ أَغْضَبَتْ زَوْجَهَا وَ طُوبَى لِامْرَأَةٍ رَضِيَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا.
Then he-saww said: ‘Woe be to a woman who angers her husband, and beatitude be for a woman whose husband is pleased with her’.[151]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic did not Make the ‘Ghayra’ (jealousy/sense of honour) for the women. But rather, the evil ones from them are jealous. As for the believing women, so no, and rather Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Made the ‘Ghayra’ for the men because Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Made Permissible for him four (wives) and whatever his right hand possesses, and did not Make for the woman except one husband. If she seeks another, she would be an adulteress’’.[152]

Then He-azwj Praised the women. He-azwj Said: So the righteous women are the obedient, guarding the hidden with what Allah has Guarded [4:34] – meaning protecting herself when her husband is absent from her. (opinion)

And he-asws said: ‘Do not slander your women with the adultery for it resembles with the divorce, and beware of the backbiting for it resembles with the Kufr, and know that the slander and the backbiting both demolish the deeds of a hundred years!’’[162]

And the Prophet-saww said: ‘I-saww surprised at the one who beats his wife, and he is foremost with being beaten than her! Do not strike your women with the wood for there is retaliation in it, but caution/discipline them with the hunger and the withholding of the privileges until they return, regarding the world and the Hereafter!
وَ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ تَتَزَيَّنُ امْرَأَتُهُ وَ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَابِ دَارِهَا فَهُوَ دَيُّوثٌ وَ لَا يَأْثَمُ مَنْ يُسَمِّيهِ دَيُّوثاً وَ الْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا خَرَجَتْ مِنْ بَابِ دَارِهَا مُتَزَيِّنَةً مُتَعَطِّرَةً وَ الزَّوْجُ بِذَلِكَ رَاضٍ يُبْنَى لِزَوْجِهَا بِكُلِّ قَدَمٍ بَيْتٌ فِي النَّارِ
And whichever man adorns his wife and she goes out from the door of her house, he is a cuckold, and there is no sin on the one who names him as a cuckold, and the wife who goes out from the door of her house adorned, perfumed, and the husband is pleased with that, with every step she take, a house will be built for her husband in the Fire!
فَقَصِّرُوا أَجْنِحَةَ نِسَائِكُمْ وَ لَا تُطَوِّلُوهَا فَإِنَّ فِي تَقْصِيرِ أَجْنِحَتِهَا رِضًى وَ سُرُوراً وَ دُخُولَ الْجَنَّةِ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ احْفَظُوا وَصِيَّتِي فِي أَمْرِ نِسَائِكُمْ حَتَّى تَنْجُوا مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحِسَابِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْفَظْ وَصِيَّتِي فَمَا أَسْوَأَ حَالَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ
Therefore, shorten the wings of your women and do not lengthen them, for in shortening of their wings is contentment and happiness, and entry into the Paradise without reckoning. Preserve my advice regarding the matter of your women until you are saved from the severity of the Reckoning, and the one who does not preserve my-saww advice, how evil will be his state in front of Allah-azwj!’
وَ قَالَ ع النِّسَاءُ حَبَائِلُ الشَّيْطَانِ.
And he-asws said: ‘The women are the ropes of Satan-la’’.[165]
39- نَوَادِرُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اضْرِبُوا النِّسَاءَ عَلَى تَعْلِيمِ الْخَيْرِ.
(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al Rawandy –
‘By his chain from Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Beat women upon learning the goodness!’’[166]
40- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ: إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ بِهِ كَآبَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع يَا عَلِيُّ مَا هَذِهِ الْكَآبَةُ
And by this chain, he-asws said: ‘Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws entered to see (Syeda) Fatima-asws and upon him-asws was intense gloom. (Syeda) Fatima-asws said: ‘O Ali-asws! What is this gloominess?’
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع سَأَلَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ مَا هِيَ فَقُلْنَا عَوْرَةٌ فَقَالَ فَمَتَى تَكُونُ أَدْنَى مِنْ رَبِّهَا فَلَمْ نَدْرِ
Ali-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww asked us about the woman, what she is. We said, ‘Vulnerable’. He-saww said: ‘So when does she happen to be closest to her Lord-azwj?’ We did not know’.
فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ لِعَلِيٍّ ع ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ فَأَعْلِمْهُ أَنَّ أَدْنَى مَا تَكُونُ مِنْ رَبِّهَا أَنْ تَلْزَمَ قَعْرَ بَيْتِهَا
(Syeda) Fatima-asws said to Ali-asws: ‘Return to him-saww and let him-saww know that the closest of what she can be to her Lord-azwj is when she stays in the innermost part of her house’.
فَانْطَلَقَ فَأَخْبَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مَا قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي.
He-asws went and informed Rasool-Allah-saww of what (Syeda) Fatima-asws had said. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘(Syeda) Fatima-asws is a part of me-saww!’’[167]
41- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع أَقْبَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ لِي زَوْجاً وَ لَهُ عَلَيَّ غِلْظَةٌ وَ إِنِّي صَنَعْتُ بِهِ شَيْئاً لِأُعَطِّفَهُ عَلَيَّ
And by this chain, he-asws said, ‘Ali-asws said: ‘A woman came to Rasool-Allah-saww. She said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! There is a husband for me and there is harshness for him upon me, and I have done something with him to make him more affectionate to me!’
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أُفٍّ لَكِ كَدَّرْتِ دِينَكِ لَعَنَتْكِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْأَخْيَارُ لَعَنَتْكِ مَلَائِكَةُ السَّمَاءِ لَعَنَتْكِ مَلَائِكَةُ الْأَرْضِ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Ugh to you! You have dirtied your religion! The best Angels curse you! The Angels of the sky curse you! The Angels of the earth curse you!’
فَصَامَتْ نَهَارَهَا وَ قَامَتْ لَيَالِيَهَا وَ لَبِسَتِ الْمُسُوحَ ثُمَّ حَلَقَتْ رَأْسَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ حَلْقَ الرَّأْسِ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَرْضَى الزَّوْجُ.
So, she fasted her days and stood (for Salat) her nights and wore the coarse clothes. Then she shaved off her head. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Shaving of the head is not accepted from her except if the husband is pleased’.[168]
42- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّمَا الْمَرْأَةُ لُعْبَةٌ فَمَنِ اتَّخَذَهَا فَلْيُبْضِعْهَا.
And by this chain, he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘But rather, the woman is a plaything. The one who takes her, let him handle her properly’.[169]
43- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص النِّسَاءُ عَوْرَةٌ احْبِسُوهُنَّ فِي الْبُيُوتِ وَ اسْتَعِينُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْعُرْيِ.
And by this chain, he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The women are vulnerable. Withhold them in the houses and seek assistance upon them with the withholding of privileges’.[170]
44- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْغَيْرَةُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ الْبَذَاءُ مِنَ الْجَفَاءِ.
And by this chain, he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The ‘Ghayra’ (jealousy/sense of honour) is from the Eman, and the obscenity is from the disloyalty’.[171]
45- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كَتَبَ اللَّهُ الْجِهَادَ عَلَى رِجَالِ أُمَّتِي وَ الْغَيْرَةَ عَلَى نِسَاءِ أُمَّتِي فَمَنْ صَبَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَ احْتَسَبَ أَعْطَاهُ أَجْرَ شَهِيدٍ.
And by this chain, he-asws said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Prescribed the Jihad upon the men of my-saww community, and the ‘Ghayra’ (jealousy/sense of honour) upon women of my-saww community. The one from them who is patient and anticipates, Allah-azwj Give him Recompense of a martyr’.[172]
46- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ص رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِابْنَةٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ زَوْجَهَا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَضَرَبَهَا فَأَثَّرَ فِي وَجْهِهَا فَأُقِيدُهُ لَهَا
And by this chain, he-asws said: ‘Ali-asws said: ‘A man from the Helpers came to the Prophet-saww with a daughter of his. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Her husband is so and so, son of so and so, the Helper. He beat her, and the impact is on her face. Take retribution for her from him!’
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَكَ ذَلِكَ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘That is for you!’
فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَوْلَهُ الرِّجالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّساءِ الْآيَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَرَدْتَ أَمْراً وَ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى غَيْرَهُ.
Allah-azwj the Exalted Revealed His-azwj Words: Men are guardians of the women [4:34] – the Verse. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww wanted a matter and Allah-azwj the Exalted Wanted another (something else)’’.[173]
47- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ رَأَى فِي مَنْزِلِهِ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْفُجُورِ فَلَمْ يُغَيِّرْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى طَيْراً أَبْيَضَ يَظَلُّ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحاً فَيَقُولُ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ وَ خَرَجَ غَيِّرْ غَيِّرْ فَإِنْ غَيَّرَ وَ إِلَّا مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ فَإِنْ رَأَى حَسَناً لَمْ يَسْتَحْسِنْهُ وَ إِنْ يَرَى قَبِيحاً لَمْ يُنْكِرْهُ.
And by this chain, he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Whichever man sees something from the immoralities in his house but does not change (it), Allah-azwj the Exalted Sends a white bird hovering upon him for forty mornings. Every time he enters and exits, it says, ‘Change! Change!’ If he changes, (fine), or else it wipes his head with its wings upon his eyes. Then, if he sees good, does not consider it as good, and if he sees ugliness, does not dislike it’’.[174]

And from him, a group, from Abu Al Mufazzal by his chain raising it,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Umm Salama-ra asked Rasool-Allah-saww about the merits of the women in serving their husbands. He-saww said: ‘Whichever woman raises from the house of her husband, a thing from its place to place it in another place intending correction with it, Allah-azwj Looks as her (with Consideration), and the one Allah-azwj Looks at, He-azwj will not Punish him’.
فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا زِدْنِي فِي النِّسَاءِ الْمَسَاكِينِ مِنَ الثَّوَابِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي
Umm Salama-ra, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with her-ra, said, ‘Increase for me-ra regarding the Rewards of the poor women. May my-ra father and my-ra mother be sacrificed for you-saww!’
فَقَالَ ص يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ إِذَا حَمَلَتْ كَانَ لَهَا مِنَ الْأَجْرِ كَمَنْ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَ مَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْ قِيلَ لَهَا قَدْ غُفِرَ لَكَ ذَنْبُكَ فَاسْتَأْنِفِي الْعَمَلَ فَإِذَا أَرْضَعَتْ فَلَهَا بِكُلِّ رَضْعَةٍ تَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مِنْ وُلْدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ.
He-saww said: ‘O Umm Salama-ra! The woman, when she gets pregnant, there would be for her Recompense like the one who fights with his soul and his wealth in the Way of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. When she gives birth, it is said to her, ‘Your sins have been Forgiven for you, so resume anew!’ When she breastfeeds, for her would be with every breast-feeding, (Reward of) freeing a neck from the children of Ismail-as!’’[176]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The women are weak and vulnerable. Cover the vulnerable with the houses and cover the weak with the silence!’’[177]
51 نهج، نهج البلاغة قَالَ ع غَيْرَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ كُفْرٌ وَ غَيْرَةُ الرَّجُلِ إِيمَانٌ.
(The book) ‘Nahj Al Balagah’ – He-asws said: ‘(Jealousy/sense of honour) ‘Ghayra’ of the woman is Kufr while Ghayra’ of the man is Eman’’.[178]
52 وَ قَالَ ع جِهَادُ الْمَرْأَةِ حُسْنُ التَّبَعُّلِ.
And he-asws said: ‘Jihad of the woman is to be excellent with her husband’’.[179]
53 وَ قَالَ ع الْمَرْأَةُ شَرٌّ كُلُّهَا وَ شَرٌّ مَا فِيهَا أَنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهَا.
And he-asws said: ‘The woman is evil, all of her, and evil is what is in her. There is no escape from her’’.[180]
54 وَ قَالَ: فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ لِابْنِهِ الْحَسَنِ ع إِيَّاكَ وَ مُشَاوَرَةَ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّ رَأْيَهُنَّ إِلَى أَفْنٍ وَ عَزْمَهُنَّ إِلَى وَهْنٍ فَاكْفُفْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ بِحِجَابِكَ إِيَاهُنَّ فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحِجَابِ أَبْقَى عَلَيْهِنَّ وَ لَيْسَ خُرُوجُهُنَّ بِأَشَدَّ مِنْ إِدْخَالِكَ مَنْ لَا يُوثَقُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا يَعْرِفْنَ غَيْرَكَ فَافْعَلْ
And he-asws said in a bequest to his-asws son-asws Al-Hassan-asws: ‘Beware of consulting the women for their opinions are to ruination and their determinations are to weakness, and refrain upon them of their sights by your veiling them, for the severe veil would be more lasting upon them, and their emerging is not severer than your letting enters the one who cannot be trusted upon (from) them, and if you are able that they do not know anyone other than you, then do so.
وَ لَا تُمَلِّكِ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ أَمْرِهَا مَا جَاوَزَ نَفْسَهَا فَإِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ رَيْحَانَةٌ وَ لَيْسَتْ بِقَهْرَمَانَةٍ وَ لَا تَعْدُ بِكَرَامَتِهَا نَفْسَهَا وَ لَا تُطْمِعْهَا أَنْ تَشْفَعَ لِغَيْرِهَا
And do not let the woman be in control of her affairs, what exceeds herself, for the woman is a fragrant basil and she isn’t an administrator, and do not transgress herself with her honour nor covet her in interceding for others.
وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ التَّغَايُرَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعِ غَيْرَةٍ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يَدْعُو الصَّحِيحَةَ إِلَى السَّقَمِ وَ الْبَرِيئَةَ إِلَى الرِّيَبِ.
And beware of the (displaying) sense of honour (Ghayra) in other than the place of ‘Ghayra’ for that would call the healthy woman to the sickness, and the righteous one to the suspicion!’’[181]

(The book) ‘Kanz Al Karajaky’ – From Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Shazan, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Waleed, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Saffar, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad, from Mufazzal Bin Umar, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Accursed! Accursed is a woman hurting her husband and saddening him, and fortunate, fortunate is a woman honouring her husband and does not hurt him, and obeys him in entirety of his situations!’’[182]
56 وَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِيَّاكَ وَ مُشَاوَرَةَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَنْ جَرَّبْتَ بِكَمَالِ عَقْلٍ فَإِنَّ رَأْيَهُنَّ يَجُرُّ إِلَى الْأَفْنِ وَ عَزْمَهُنَّ إِلَى وَهْنٍ
And from him,
‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws: ‘Beware of consulting the women except the one you have experienced perfection of intellect, for their opinion leads to ruination and their determination to weakness.
وَ قَصِّرْ عَلَيْهِنَّ حُجُبَهُنَّ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُنَّ وَ لَيْسَ خُرُوجُهُنَّ بِأَشَدَّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ دُخُولِ مَنْ لَا يُوثَقُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا يَعْرِفْنَ غَيْرَكَ فَافْعَلْ وَ لَا تُمَلِّكِ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ أَمْرِهَا مَا يُجَاوِزُ نَفْسَهَا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَنْعَمُ لِبَالِهَا وَ بَالِكَ
Restrict their exposure with proper veils, for that is better for them. Their going out is not more harmful to you than the entrance of someone untrustworthy upon them. If you are able to ensure that no one knows them besides you, then do so. Do not grant a woman control over matters beyond herself, for that is more calming for both her mind and yours.
وَ إِنَّمَا الْمَرْأَةُ رَيْحَانَةٌ وَ لَيْسَتْ بِقَهْرَمَانَةٍ وَ لَا تُطْمِعْهَا أَنْ تَشْفَعَ لِغَيْرِهَا وَ لَا تُطِيلَنَّ الْخَلْوَةَ مَعَ النِّسَاءِ فَيَمَلَّنَّكَ وَ اسْتَبْقِ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ بَقِيَّةً وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ التَّغَايُرَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعِ غَيْرَةٍ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يَدْعُو الصَّحِيحَةَ إِلَى السَّقَمِ وَ إِنْ رَأَيْتَ مِنْهُنَّ رِيبَةً فَعَجِّلِ النَّكِيرَ وَ أَقِلَّ الْغَضَبَ عَلَيْهِنَّ إِلَّا فِي عَيْبٍ أَوْ ذَنْبٍ.
Indeed, the woman is a delicate flower, not a manager of affairs. Do not let her aspire to intercede for others, and do not prolong seclusion with women, lest they grow tired of you. Preserve some of yourself, and beware of Ghayra (jealousy/sense of honour) in matters where there is no cause, for that invites a healthy woman toward corruption. But if you see suspicious behaviour from them, then respond quickly with disapproval, and limit your anger toward them except in case of fault or offence!’’[183]
57 وَ قَالَ: لَا تُطْلِعُوا النِّسَاءَ عَلَى حَالٍ وَ لَا تَأْمَنُوهُنَّ عَلَى مَالٍ وَ لَا تَثِقُوا بِهِنَّ فِي الْفِعَالِ فَإِنَّهُنَّ لَا عَهْدَ لَهُنَّ عِنْدَ عَاهِدِهِنَّ وَ لَا وَرَعَ لَهُنَّ عِنْدَ حَاجَتِهِنَّ وَ لَا دِينَ لَهُنَّ عِنْدَ شَهْوَتِهِنَّ يَحْفَظْنَ الشَّرَّ وَ يَنْسَيْنَ الْخَيْرَ فَالْطُفُوا لَهُنَّ عَلَى حَالٍ لَعَلَّهُنَّ يُحْسِنَّ الْفِعَالَ.
And he-asws said: ‘Do not disclose your conditions to women, do not entrust them with wealth, and do not rely on them in actions, for they have no loyalty to those who make agreements with them, no restraint when in need, and no religion when overtaken by desire. They remember evil and forget good. So, deal with them gently in all matters, perhaps they may act rightly!’’[184]
58 عِدَّةُ الدَّاعِي، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص مَا زَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْمَرْأَةِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي طَلَاقُهَا إِلَّا مِنْ فَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ.
(The book) ‘Uddat Al Daie’ –
‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘Jibraeel-as did not cease advising me-saww regarding the woman until I-saww thought it is not befitting to divorce her except due to open immorality!’’[185]
59 وَ قَالَ ص اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي الضَّعِيفَيْنِ النِّسَاءِ وَ الْيَتِيمِ.
And he-saww said: ‘Fear Allah-azwj regarding the two weak ones – the women and the orphans!’’[186]
60 وَ قَالَ ص حَقُّ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا أَنْ يَسُدَّ جَوْعَتَهَا وَ أَنْ يَسْتُرَ عَوْرَتَهَا وَ لَا يُقَبِّحَ لَهَا وَجْهاً فَإِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ وَ اللَّهِ أَدَّى حَقَّهَا.
And he-saww said: ‘A right of the wife upon her husband is that he block her hunger and covers her bareness, and is not ugly to her of face. When he does that, by Allah-azwj he has fulfilled her right!’’[187]

CHAPTER 62 – COMPREHENSIVE RULINGS OF THE WOMEN AND ITS MISCELLANEOUS
1- ل، الخصال الْقَطَّانُ عَنِ السُّكَّرِيِّ عَنِ الْجَوْهَرِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ لَيْسَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ أَذَانٌ وَ لَا إِقَامَةٌ وَ لَا جُمُعَةٌ وَ لَا جَمَاعَةٌ وَ لَا عِيَادَةُ الْمَرِيضِ وَ لَا اتِّبَاعُ الْجِنَازَةِ وَ لَا إِجْهَارٌ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ وَ لَا الْهَرْوَلَةُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ وَ لَا اسْتِلَامُ الْحَجَرِ الْأَسْوَدِ وَ لَا دُخُولُ الْكَعْبَةِ وَ لَا الْحَلْقُ إِنَّمَا يُقَصِّرْنَ مِنْ شُعُورِهِنَّ
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – Al Qattan, from Al Sukary, from Al Jamhoury, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Mara, from his father, from Jabir Al Jufy who said,
‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘It isn’t upon the women, neither Azaan, nor Iqaama, nor Friday (Salat), nor congregation (Salat), nor consoling the sick, nor following the funeral, nor being loud with the Talbiyya, nor the sprinting between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa, nor kissing the Black Stone, nor entering the Kabah, nor shaving (the head). But rather, they should shorten from their hair.
وَ لَا تُوَلَّى الْمَرْأَةُ الْقَضَاءَ وَ لَا تُوَلَّى الْإِمَارَةَ وَ لَا تُسْتَشَارُ وَ لَا تَذْبَحُ إِلَّا مِنَ الِاضْطِرَارِ وَ تَبْدَأُ فِي الْوُضُوءِ بِبَاطِنِ الذِّرَاعِ وَ الرَّجُلُ بِظَاهِرِهِ وَ لَا تَمْسَحُ كَمَا يَمْسَحُ الرِّجَالُ بَلْ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ تُلْقِيَ الْخِمَارَ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ مَسْحِ رَأْسِهَا فِي صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ تَمْسَحَ عَلَيْهِ وَ فِي سَائِرِ الصَّلَوَاتِ تُدْخِلُ إِصْبَعَهَا وَ تَمْسَحُ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تُلْقِيَ عَنْهَا خِمَارَهَا
And a woman is not to be appointed as judge, nor as a governor, nor is she to be consulted, nor is she to perform slaughter except out of necessity. In Wud’u, she begins with the inner part of the arm, while the man begins with the outer part. She does not wipe (the head) as men do; rather, she should remove her head covering from the area of wiping during the morning and evening Salats and wipe over it. In the other Salats, she should insert her finger and wipe over her head without removing her head covering.
وَ إِذَا قَامَتْ فِي صَلَاتِهَا ضَمَّتْ رِجْلَيْهَا وَ وَضَعَتْ يَدَيْهَا عَلَى صَدْرِهَا وَ تَضَعُ يَدَيْهَا فِي رُكُوعِهَا عَلَى فَخِذَيْهَا وَ تَجْلِسُ إِذَا أَرَادَتِ السُّجُودَ وَ سَجَدَتْ لَاطِئَةً بِالْأَرْضِ وَ إِذَا رَفَعَتْ رَأْسَهَا مِنَ السُّجُودِ جَلَسَتْ ثُمَّ نَهَضَتْ إِلَى الْقِيَامِ وَ إِذَا قَعَدَتْ لِلتَّشَهُّدِ رَفَعَتْ رِجْلَيْهَا وَ ضَمَّتْ فَخِذَيْهَا وَ إِذَا سَبَّحَتْ عَقَدَتْ عَلَى الْأَنَامِلِ لِأَنَّهُنَّ مَسْئُولَاتٌ
And when she stands in her Salat, she brings her feet together and places her hands on her chest. In Ruk’u, she places her hands on her thighs. When intending to do Sajdah, she first sits, then prostrates close to the ground. When raising her head from Sajdah, she sits before rising to stand. When she sits for the testimony (Tashahhud), she lifts her legs, brings her thighs together, and when glorifying, she counts on her fingertips, for these will be questioned.
وَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ حَاجَةٌ صَعِدَتْ فَوْقَ بَيْتِهَا وَ صَلَّتْ وَ كَشَفَتْ رَأْسَهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإِنَّهَا إِذَا فَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ لَهَا وَ لَمْ يُخَيِّبْهَا وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا غُسْلُ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لَهَا تَرْكُهُ فِي الْحَضَرِ
And if a woman has a need to Allah-azwj, she should ascend to the roof of her house, pray Salat, and uncover her head toward the sky, for when she does that, Allah-azwj Responds to her and does not disappoint her. She is not required to perform the Friday ritual bath while travelling, but she is not permitted to neglect it while at home.
وَ لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ النِّسَاءِ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْحُدُودِ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُنَّ فِي الطَّلَاقِ وَ لَا فِي رُؤْيَةِ الْهِلَالِ وَ يَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُنَّ فِيمَا لَا يَحِلُّ لِلرَّجُلِ النَّظَرُ لَهُ وَ لَيْسَ لِلنِّسَاءِ مِنْ سَرَوَاتِ الطَّرِيقِ شَيْءٌ وَ لَهُنَّ جَنْبَتَاهُ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لَهُنَّ نُزُولُ الْغُرَفِ وَ لَا تَعَلُّمُ الْكِتَابَةِ وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ لَهُنَّ تَعْلِيمُ الْمِغْزَلِ وَ سُورَةِ النُّورِ وَ يُكْرَهُ لَهُنَّ تَعَلُّمُ سُورَةِ يُوسُفَ
The testimony of women is not accepted in matters of legal punishments, nor in divorce, nor in the sighting of the new moon. Their testimony is accepted in matters that men are not permitted to look at. Women have no share in the prominent part of the road; rather, they are to keep to its sides. It is not permissible for them to descend into upper rooms, nor to learn writing. It is recommended for them to learn spinning and Surah Al Noor, and it is disliked for them to learn Surah Yusuf-as.
وَ إِذَا ارْتَدَّتِ الْمَرْأَةُ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ اسْتُتِيبَتْ فَإِنْ تَابَتْ وَ إِلَّا خُلِّدَتْ فِي السِّجْنِ وَ لَا تُقْتَلُ كَمَا يُقْتَلُ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا ارْتَدَّ وَ لَكِنَّهَا تُسْتَخْدَمُ خِدْمَةً شَدِيدَةً وَ تُمْنَعُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَ الشَّرَابِ إِلَّا مَا تُمْسِكُ بِهِ نَفْسَهَا وَ لَا تُطْعَمُ إِلَّا أَخْبَثَ الطَّعَامِ وَ لَا تُكْسَى إِلَّا غَلِيظَ الثِّيَابِ وَ خَشِنَهَا وَ تُضْرَبُ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَ الصِّيَامِ وَ لَا جِزْيَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ
If a woman apostatises from Islam, she is to be called to repent. If she repents, then fine, otherwise, she is to be imprisoned for life and not executed as a man would be if he apostatises. However, she is to be subjected to harsh labour, denied food and drink except what keeps her alive, fed only the worst of food, clothed only in coarse and rough garments, and beaten to enforce Salat and fasting. There is no Jizya (tax) upon women.
وَ إِذَا حَضَرَ وِلَادَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ وَجَبَ إِخْرَاجُ مَنْ فِي الْبَيْتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ كَيْ لَا يَكُنَّ أَوَّلَ نَاظِرٍ إِلَى عَوْرَتِهَا وَ لَا يَجُوزُ حُضُورُ الْمَرْأَةِ الْحَائِضِ وَ لَا الْجُنُبِ عِنْدَ تَلْقِينِ الْمَيِّتِ لِأَنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَتَأَذَّى بِهِمَا وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لَهُمَا إِدْخَالُ الْمَيِّتِ قَبْرَهُ
When a woman is giving birth, it is obligatory to remove the other women from the house so that they are not the first to look upon her private parts. It is not permissible for a menstruating woman or someone in a state of sexual impurity to be present during the recitation of Indoctrination (Talqeen) to the dying, because the Angels are harmed by their presence, nor is it permissible for them to place the deceased into the grave.
وَ إِذَا قَامَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهَا فَلَا يَجُوزُ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فِيهِ حَتَّى يَبْرُدَ وَ جِهَادُ الْمَرْأَةِ حُسْنُ التَّبَعُّلِ وَ أَعْظَمُ النَّاسِ حَقّاً عَلَيْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ أَحَقُّ النَّاسِ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا مَاتَتْ زَوْجُهَا
When a woman rises from her seat, it is not permissible for a man to sit in it until it has cooled. A woman’s Jihad is in being a good wife. The person with the greatest right over her is her husband, and the one most entitled to lead the Salat over her when she dies is her husband.
وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَنْكَشِفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ لِأَنَّهُنَّ يَصِفْنَ ذَلِكَ لِأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لَهَا أَنْ تَتَطَيَّبَ إِذَا خَرَجَتْ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لَهَا أَنْ تَتَشَبَّهَ بِالرِّجَالِ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص لَعَنَ الْمُتَشَبِّهِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ بِالنِّسَاءِ وَ لَعَنَ الْمُشَبِّهَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ بِالرِّجَالِ
It is not permissible for a woman to uncover herself in front of a Jewish or Christian woman because they may describe her to their husbands. It is not permissible for her to wear perfume when leaving her house, nor is it permissible for her to imitate men, for Rasool-Allah-saww cursed the men who imitate women and the women who imitate men.
وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تُعَطِّلَ نَفْسَهَا وَ لَوْ أَنْ تُعَلِّقَ فِي نَفْسِهَا خَيْطاً وَ لَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ تُرَى أَظَافِيرُهَا بَيْضَاءَ وَ لَوْ أَنْ تَمْسَحَهَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ مَسْحاً وَ لَا تَخْضِبُ يَدَيْهَا فِي حَيْضِهَا فَإِنَّهُ يُخَافُ عَلَيْهَا الشَّيْطَانُ
It is not permissible for a woman to leave herself without adornment, even if only by hanging a thread on herself. It is not permissible for her fingernails to be seen white, even if she only wipes them lightly with henna. She should not apply henna to her hands during menstruation, for it is feared that Satan-la may affect her.
وَ إِذَا أَرَادَتِ المَرْأَةُ الْحَاجَةَ وَ هِيَ فِي صَلَاتِهَا صَفَّقَتْ بِيَدَيْهَا وَ الرَّجُلُ يُومِئُ بِرَأْسِهِ وَ هُوَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَ يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ وَ يُسَبِّحُ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ بِغَيْرِ خِمَارٍ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ أَمَةً فَإِنَّهَا تُصَلِّي بِغَيْرِ خِمَارٍ مَكْشُوفَةَ الرَّأْسِ
If a woman needs something while she is in her Salat, she should clap with her hands, whereas a man, if he is in his Salat, should signal with his head, gesture with his hand, and say Tasbeeh. It is not permissible for a woman to pray Salat without a head scarf unless she is a slave woman; in that case, she may pray Salat without a scarf, with her head uncovered.
وَ يَجُوزُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ لُبْسُ الدِّيبَاجِ وَ الْحَرِيرِ فِي غَيْرِ صَلَاةٍ وَ إِحْرَامٍ وَ حُرِّمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ إِلَّا فِي الْجِهَادِ وَ يَجُوزُ أَنْ تَتَخَتَّمَ بِالذَّهَبِ وَ تُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ وَ حُرِّمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تَتَخَتَّمْ بِالذَّهَبِ فَإِنَّهُ زِينَتُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ لَا تَلْبَسِ الْحَرِيرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِبَاسُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
It is permissible for a woman to wear brocade and silk outside of Salat and Hajj, and that is forbidden for men except during jihad. It is also permissible for her to wear a gold ring and pray Salat while wearing it, whereas that is forbidden for men. The Prophet-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Do not wear a gold ring, for it is your adornment in Paradise, and do not wear silk, for it is your clothing in Paradise!’
وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ فِي مَالِهَا عِتْقٌ وَ لَا بِرٌّ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا وَ لَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهَا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لَهَا أَنْ تَصُومَ تَطَوُّعاً إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تُصَافِحَ غَيْرَ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ إِلَّا مِنْ وَرَاءِ ثَوْبِهَا وَ لَا تُبَايِعَ إِلَّا مِنْ وَرَاءِ ثَوْبِهَا وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لَهَا أَنْ تَحُجَّ تَطَوُّعاً إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ الْحَمَّامَ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيْهَا
A woman is not permitted to free a slave or give charity from her wealth without her husband’s permission. She is not allowed to leave her house without her husband’s permission. She may not fast voluntarily without his consent. It is not permissible for her to shake hands with a non-sanctimonious man except from behind a cloth, and she may not engage in a transaction of allegiance except from behind a cloth. She is not allowed to perform a voluntary Hajj without her husband’s permission. It is also not permissible for a woman to enter a public bathhouse, for that is forbidden to her.
وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ رُكُوبُ السَّرْجِ إِلَّا مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ أَوْ فِي سَفَرٍ وَ مِيرَاثُ الْمَرْأَةِ نِصْفُ مِيرَاثِ الرَّجُلِ وَ دِيَتُهَا نِصْفُ دِيَةِ الرَّجُلِ وَ تُعَاقِلُ الْمَرْأَةُ الرَّجُلَ فِي الْجِرَاحَاتِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ ثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ عَلَى الثُّلُثِ ارْتَفَعَ الرَّجُلُ وَ سَفَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ
A woman is not permitted to ride a saddle animal except out of necessity or during travel. A woman’s inheritance is half that of a man’s, and her wergild is half that of a man’s. In cases of bodily injury, a woman shares compensation with a man up to one-third of the full wergild. Once it exceeds one-third, the man’s compensation is raised while the woman’s is lowered.
وَ إِذَا صَلَّتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَحْدَهَا مَعَ الرَّجُلِ قَامَتْ خَلْفَهُ وَ لَمْ تَقُمْ بِجَنْبِهِ وَ إِذَا مَاتَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَقَفَ الْمُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا عِنْدَ صَدْرِهَا وَ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَ إِذَا أُدْخِلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الْقَبْرَ وَقَفَ زَوْجُهَا فِي مَوْضِعٍ يَتَنَاوَلُ وَرِكَهَا وَ لَا شَفِيعَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْجَحُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهَا مِنْ رِضَا زَوْجِهَا
If a woman prays Salat alone with a man, she stands behind him and does not stand beside him. When a woman dies, the one leading the Salat stands by her chest, while for a man, the Salat is led standing by his head. When a woman is placed into the grave, her husband stands at a position level with her hip. There is no intercessor for a woman more effective before her Lord-azwj than the pleasure of her husband.
وَ لَمَّا مَاتَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع قَامَ عَلَيْهَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي رَاضٍ عَنِ ابْنَةِ نَبِيِّكَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهَا قَدْ أُوحِشَتْ فَآنِسْهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهَا قَدْ هُجِرَتْ فَصَلِّهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهَا قَدْ ظُلِمَتْ فَاحْكُمْ لَهَا وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ.
And when (Syeda) Fatima-asws passed away, Amir Al-Momineen-asws stood by her-asws and said: ‘O Allah-azwj! I-asws am pleased with the daughter-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww! O Allah-azwj! She-asws has been lonely, so Comfort her-asws! O Allah-azwj! She-asws was forsaken, so Connect her-asws! O Allah-azwj! She-asws has been oppressed, so Judge for her-asws, and You-azwj are Best of the judges!’’[188]
2- ل، الخصال فِيمَا أَوْصَى بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ص عَلِيّاً يَا عَلِيُّ لَيْسَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ جُمُعَةٌ وَ لَا جَمَاعَةٌ وَ لَا أَذَانٌ وَ لَا إِقَامَةٌ وَ لَا عِيَادَةُ الْمَرِيضِ وَ لَا اتِّبَاعُ جَنَازَةٍ وَ لَا هَرْوَلَةٌ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ وَ لَا اسْتِلَامُ الْحَجَرِ وَ لَا حَلْقٌ وَ لَا تَوَلِّي الْقَضَاءِ وَ لَا تُسْتَشَارُ وَ لَا تَذْبَحُ إِلَّا عِنْدَ الضَّرُورَةِ وَ لَا تَجْهَرُ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ وَ لَا تُقِيمُ عِنْدَ قَبْرٍ وَ لَا تَسْمَعُ الْخُطْبَةَ وَ لَا تَتَوَلَّى التَّزْوِيجَ
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ –
‘Among what the Prophet-saww advised Ali-asws: ‘O Ali-asws! There is neither Friday Salat, upon women, nor congregational Salat, nor Azaan, nor Iqaama, nor consoling the sick, nor following a funeral procession, nor sprinting between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa, nor touching the Black Stone, nor shaving the head, nor appointment to judiciary, nor being consulted, nor performing a slaughter except in necessity, nor raising the voice in Talbiyya (of Hajj), nor standing at a grave, nor listening to the sermon, nor conducting a marriage.
وَ لَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ فَإِنْ خَرَجَتْ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ لَعَنَهَا اللَّهُ وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ لَا تُعْطِي مِنْ بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا شَيْئاً إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ وَ لَا تَبِيتُ وَ زَوْجُهَا عَلَيْهَا سَاخِطٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ ظَالِماً لَهَا.
And she is not to leave the house of her husband except with his permission. If she leaves without his permission, she is cursed by Allah-azwj, and Jibraeel-as and Mikaeel-as. She is not to give anything (in charity) from her husband’s house except with his permission, and she must not spend the night while her husband is displeased with her, even if he has wronged her’.[189]

قَالَ لَهَا إِذَا أَكَلْتِ فَإِيَّاكِ أَنْ تَشْبَعِي لِأَنَّ الطَّعَامَ إِذَا تَكَاثَرَ عَلَى الصَّدْرِ فَزَادَ فِي الْقَدْرِ ذَهَبَ مَاءُ الْوَجْهِ

Tafseer Al Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws), may the greeting be upon him-asws – ‘What is the matter, there should be two women for one man in the testimony and the inheritance?’
فَقَالَ لِأَنَّكُنَّ نَاقِصَاتُ الدِّينِ وَ الْعَقْلِ
He-asws said: ‘Because they are of deficient religion and the intellect’.

She said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww, and what is the deficiency of our religion?’
قَالَ إِنَّ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تَقْعُدُ نِصْفَ دَهْرِهَا لَا تُصَلِّي وَ إِنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَ تَكْفُرْنَ الْعِشْرَةَ تَمْكُثُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ فَصَاعِداً يُحْسِنُ إِلَيْهَا وَ يُنْعِمُ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا ضَاقَتْ يَدُهُ يَوْماً أَوْ خَاصَمَهَا قَالَتْ لَهُ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْكَ خَيْراً قَطُّ
He-saww said: ‘One of you sits back half of her life without praying Salat, and you frequently curse and are ungrateful for companionship. One of you may stay with a man for ten years or more, during which he treats her well and provides for her generously, but if he faces hardship for a single day or argues with her, she says to him, ‘I have not seen any good from you at all!’
وَ مَنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ هَذَا خُلُقَهَا فَالَّذِي يُصِيبُهَا مِنْ هَذَا النُّقْصَانِ مِحْنَةٌ عَلَيْهَا لِتَصْبِرَ فَيُعَظِّمَ اللَّهُ ثَوَابَهَا فَأَبْشِرِي
And who from the women does not happen to be of this nature? The one who is afflicted with this deficiency, there is a Trial upon her to be patient so Allah-azwj would Magnify her Rewards, so receive glad tidings!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ رَدِيٍّ إِلَّا وَ الْمَرْأَةُ الرَّدِيَّةُ أَرْدَى مِنْهُ وَ لَا مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ إِلَّا وَ الرَّجُلُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهَا وَ مَا سَاوَى اللَّهُ قَطُّ امْرَأَةً بِرَجُلٍ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ تَسْوِيَةِ اللَّهِ فَاطِمَةَ بِعَلِيٍّ ع وَ إِلْحَاقِهَا بِهِ وَ هِيَ امْرَأَةٌ بِأَفْضَلِ رِجَالِ الْعَالَمِينَ.
Then Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘There is none from a badman except and there is a woman worse than him, nor is there any righteous woman except and there is a man superior to her, and Allah-azwj has not Equated at all any woman with a man except what happened from the Equalisation by Allah-azwj of (Syeda) Fatima-asws with Ali-asws and Joining her-asws with him-asws, and she-asws is a woman superior to (all) men of the worlds!’’[198]

And from him-asws regarding Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: nor disobey you in moderate (orders) [60:12].

19- وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص صَلَاةُ الْمَرْأَةِ وَحْدَهَا فِي بَيْتِهَا كَفَضْلِ صَلَاتِهَا فِي الْجَمْعِ خَمْساً وَ عِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً.

CHAPTER 63 – THE SUPPLICATE AT INTENDING THE MARRIAGE, AND THE WORDING AND THE PROPOSAL, AND METHOD OF THE WEDDING, AND THE ESCORTING, AND THE WEDDING FEAST
1- مكا، مكارم الأخلاق رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ الصَّادِقُ ع أَبَا بَصِيرٍ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ أَحَدُكُمْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ
(The book) ‘Makarim Al-Akhlaq’ – It is reported that Al-Sadiq-asws asked Abu Baseer: ‘When one of you gets married, how does he do it?’
قُلْتُ مَا أَدْرِي
I said, ‘I don’t know’.
قَالَ إِذَا هَمَّ بِذَلِكَ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ اللَّهُمَّ فَقَدِّرْ لِي مِنَ النِّسَاءِ أَحْسَنَهُنَّ خُلْقاً وَ خَلْقاً وَ أَعَفَّهُنَّ فَرْجاً وَ أَحْفَظَهُنَّ لِي فِي نَفْسِهَا وَ مَالِي وَ أَوْسَعَهُنَّ رِزْقاً وَ أَعْظَمَهُنَّ بَرَكَةً وَ قَيِّضْ لِي مِنْهَا وَلَداً طَيِّباً تَجْعَلُهُ لِي خَلَفاً صَالِحاً فِي حَيَاتِي وَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي.
He-asws said: ‘When he thinks of that, let him pray two units Salat and praise Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj, I intend to get married! O Allah-azwj! Determine for me from the women, their most excellent in manners and physique (appearance), and their most chaste of private parts, and their most protective for me regarding herself and my wealth, and their vastest of sustenance, and their mightiest of Blessing, and Ordain for me a good child from her. Make him a righteous successor during my lifetime and after my death!’’[213]
2- وَ خَطَبَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ ع لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ ص بِخَدِيجَةَ بِنْتِ خُوَيْلِدٍ بَعْدَ أَنْ خَطَبَهَا إِلَى أَبِيهَا وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ إِلَى عَمِّهَا فَأَخَذَ بِعِضَادَتَيِ الْبَابِ وَ مَنْ شَاهَدَهُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ حُضُورٌ
And when the Prophet-saww married (Syeda) Khadeeja-asws Bint Khuwaylid-as, Abu Talib-asws addressed after having proposed to her-as father, and from the people there are ones saying, to her-as paternal uncle. He-as held the frame of the door, and the ones from the Qureysh who witnessed it were present.
فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَنَا مِنْ زَرْعِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ جَعَلَ لَنَا بَيْتاً مَحْجُوجاً وَ حَرَماً يُجْبى إِلَيْهِ ثَمَراتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ جَعَلَنَا الْحُكَّامَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فِي بَلَدِنَا الَّذِي نَحْنُ فِيهِ
He-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made us from the descendants/linage of Ibrahim-as and offspring of Ismail-as, and Made for us a revered House and a Sacred Sanctuary to which the fruits of all things are brought, and Made us the rulers over the people in our land which we are in!

Indeed, my-as nephew Muhammad-saww son of Abdullah-as son of Abdul Muttalib-as will not be weighed with any man of Qureysh without outweighing him, and he-saww is not compared to anyone among them without surpassing him. Though his-saww wealth may be limited, wealth is a fleeting provision and a passing shadow.

He-saww has desire for (Syeda) Khadeeja-as, and she-as has desire for him-saww! The dowry, both its immediate and deferred parts, is from my-as wealth. He-saww holds great status, elevated position, and an eloquent and powerful tongue!’
فَزَوَّجَهُ وَ دَخَلَ بِهَا مِنَ الْغَدِ.
Thus, he-saww married her-as, and consummated the marriage with her-as the next day’’.[214]
3- وَ لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ الرِّضَا ع ابْنَةَ الْمَأْمُونِ خَطَبَ لِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مُتَمِّمِ النِّعَمِ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ الْهَادِي إِلَى شُكْرِهِ بِمَنِّهِ
And when Al-Reza-asws married the daughter of Al-Mamoun, he-asws addressed for himself. He-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Perfects Blessings through His-azwj Mercy, and Guides to gratitude through His-azwj Grace!
وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ الَّذِي جَمَعَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ مَا فَرَّقَهُ فِي الرُّسُلِ قَبْلَهُ وَ جَعَلَ تُرَاثَهُ إِلَى مَنْ خَصَّهُ بِخِلَافَتِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً
May Allah-azwj send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, the best of His creation, in whom He-azwj Gathered the virtues He-saww had Distributed among the Messengers-as before him-as, and to whom He-azwj Assigned the inheritance through the one He-azwj Honoured with his-saww succession! May the greeting be upon him-asws abundantly.
وَ هَذَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ زَوَّجَنِي ابْنَتَهُ عَلَى مَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِلْمُسْلِمَاتِ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ إِمْسَاكٍ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٍ بِإِحْسَانٍ وَ بَذَلْتُ لَهَا مِنَ الصَّدَاقِ مَا بَذَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَزْوَاجِهِ وَ هُوَ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَ نَشٌّ عَلَى تَمَامِ الْخَمْسِمِائَةِ وَ قَدْ نَحَلْتُهَا مِنْ مَالِي مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ زَوَّجْتَنِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
This is the commander of the faithful who has given me-saww his daughter in marriage according to what Allah-azwj Almighty has Ordained for Muslim women upon believing men, of holding with kindness or releasing with good conduct. I-asws have given her as dowry what Rasool-Allah-saww gave to his-saww wives, which is twelve ounces and a ‘Nash’ to complete five hundred (Dirhams), and I-asws have granted her from my-asws wealth one hundred thousand Dirhams. Do you marry her to me-asws, O commander of the faithful?’
قَالَ بَلَى
He said, ‘Yes!’
قَالَ قَبِلْتُ وَ رَضِيتُ.
He-asws said: ‘I-asws accept and am pleased!’’[215]
And it is recommended to address with the sermon of Al-Reza-asws to be Blessed by it, because it is comprehensive in its meaning, and it is: –
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي حَمِدَ فِي الْكِتَابِ نَفْسَهُ وَ افْتَتَحَ بِالْحَمْدِ كِتَابَهُ وَ جَعَلَ الْحَمْدَ أَوَّلَ مَحَلِّ نِعْمَتِهِ وَ آخِرَ جَزَاءِ أَهْلِ طَاعَتِهِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرِ الْبَرِيَّةِ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ أَئِمَّةِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مَعَادِنِ الحِكْمَةِ
‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Praised Himself in the Book and Began His-azwj Book with the Praise, and Made the Praise and Made praise the first of His-azwj bounties and the final Reward for the ones obeying Him-azwj, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, the best of created beings, and upon his-saww Progeny-asws, the Imams-asws of mercy and the mines of wisdom!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي نَبَئِهِ الصَّادِقِ وَ كِتَابِهِ النَّاطِقِ أَنَّ مِنْ أَحَقِّ الْأَسْبَابِ بِالصِّلَةِ وَ أَوْلَى الْأُمُورِ بِالتَّقْدِمَةِ سَبَباً أَوْجَبَ نَسَباً وَ أَمْراً أَعْقَبَ غِنًى
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who was the Truthful in His-azwj news, and His-azwj speaking Book of the most rightful of the cause for bonds to be maintained and the most worthy of being prioritised is a bond that becomes obligatory through lineage and a matter that brings about richness.
فَقَالَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ مِنَ الْماءِ بَشَراً فَجَعَلَهُ نَسَباً وَ صِهْراً وَ كانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيراً وَ قَالَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ وَ أَنْكِحُوا الْأَيامى مِنْكُمْ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبادِكُمْ وَ إِمائِكُمْ إِنْ يَكُونُوا فُقَراءَ يُغْنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ اللَّهُ واسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
He-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Laudation, Said: And He it is Who Created a person from the water, so He Made for him relationships of lineage and marriage; and your Lord was always Powerful [25:54]. And, Majestic is His-azwj Laudation, Said: And marry the single ones from you, and the righteous ones from your slaves and maids. If they happen to be poor, Allah would Enrich them from His Grace, and Allah is Capacious, Knowing [24:32].
وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي الْمُنَاكَحَةِ وَ الْمُصَاهَرَةِ آيَةٌ مُنْزَلَةٌ وَ لَا سُنَّةٌ مُتَّبَعَةٌ لَكَانَ مَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مِنْ بِرِّ الْقَرِيبِ وَ تَأَلُّفِ الْبَعِيدِ مَا رَغِبَ فِيهِ الْعَاقِلُ اللَّبِيبُ وَ سَارَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْمُوَفَّقُ الْمُصِيبُ
And even if there had not been a Revealed Verse regarding the marriages and the relationships, nor a Sunnah to be followed, whatever Allah-azwj has Made in it of kindness to relatives and the bonding of distant ones would be enough to make the intelligent and wise desire it and the guided and successful hasten toward it.
فَأَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِاللَّهِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ أَمْرَهُ وَ أَنْفَذَ حُكْمَهُ وَ أَمْضَى قَضَاءَهُ وَ رَجَا جَزَاءَهُ وَ نَحْنُ نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَعْزِمَ لَنَا وَ لَكُمْ عَلَى أَوْفَقِ الْأُمُورِ
The foremost of the people with Allah-azwj is the one who obeys His-azwj Commands, and implements His-azwj Judgment, and carry out His-azwj Decree, and hope for His-azwj Reward. We ask Allah-azwj the Exalted, to Guide us and you to what is most proper and suitable.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ مَنْ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمْ مُرُوءَتَهُ وَ عَقْلَهُ وَ صَلَاحَهُ وَ نِيَّتَهُ وَ فَضْلَهُ وَ قَدْ أَحَبَّ شِرْكَتَكُمْ وَ خَطَبَ كَرِيمَتَكُمْ فُلَانَةَ وَ بَذَلَ لَهَا مِنَ الصَّدَاقِ كَذَا فَشَفِّعُوا شَافِعَكُمْ وَ أَنْكِحُوا خَاطِبَكُمْ فِي يُسْرٍ غَيْرِ عُسْرٍ أَقُولُ قَوْلِي هَذَا وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ لِي وَ لَكُمْ.
Indeed, so-and-so, the son of so-and-so, whose dignity, intellect, righteousness, intention, and virtue you already know, has desired to join your family and has proposed to your noble daughter, so-and-so, and has offered her such-and-such as a dowry. So, support the one who seeks your approval, and marry your daughter to the one who has proposed, in ease and not in hardship. I say these words and seek the Forgiveness of Allah-azwj for myself and for you!’’[216]

أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَقَدْ كَانَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى عَلَى الْأَنَامِ أَنْ أَغْنَاهُمْ بِالْحَلَالِ عَنِ الْحَرَامِ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ أَنْكِحُوا الْأَيامى مِنْكُمْ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبادِكُمْ وَ إِمائِكُمْ إِنْ يَكُونُوا فُقَراءَ يُغْنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ اللَّهُ واسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
As for after, it has been from the Grace of Allah-azwj the Exalted upon the people that He-azwj Made them self-sufficient with the lawful from the unlawful! He-azwj the Glorious Said: And marry the single ones from you, and the righteous ones from your slaves and maids. If they happen to be poor, Allah would Enrich them from His Grace, and Allah is Capacious, Knowing [24:32].
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى يَخْطُبُ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ ابْنَةَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَأْمُونِ وَ قَدْ بَذَلَ لَهَا مِنَ الصَّدَاقِ مَهْرَ جَدَّتِهِ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهَا وَ هُوَ خَمْسُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ جِيَاداً فَهَلْ زَوَّجْتَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى الصَّدَاقِ الْمَذْكُورِ
Then, Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws hereby proposes to Umm Al-Fazl daughter of Abdullah Bin Al-Mamoun, and he spends for her from the dowry, a dower of his-asws grandmother-asws (Syeda) Fatima-asws daughter of Muhammad-saww! May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and upon her-asws, and it is five hundred Dirhams. Do you get him-asws married, O commander of the faithful, based upon the mentioned dowry?’
قَالَ الْمَأْمُونُ نَعَمْ قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ ابْنَتِي عَلَى الصَّدَاقِ الْمَذْكُورِ فَهَلْ قَبِلْتَ النِّكَاحَ
Al-Mamoun said, ‘Yes, I do get you-asws married, O Abu Ja’far-asws, to my daughter Umm Al-Fazl, based upon the mentioned dowry! Do you-asws accept the marriage?’
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع نَعَمْ قَبِلْتُ النِّكَاحَ وَ رَضِيتُ بِهِ.
Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Yes, I have accepted the marriage and am pleased with it!’’[217]

(The book) ‘Amaali’ of the seyyid Abu Talib Al Harwy,
‘From Zayn Al-Abideen-asws having said: ‘The Prophet-saww addressed when he-saww got (Syeda) Fatima-asws married to Ali-asws. He-saww said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj praised for His-azwj bounties, worshipped due to His-azwj Power, obeyed due to His-azwj Authority, feared for His-azwj Punishment, and hoped for what is with Him-azwj. His-azwj Command is implemented in His-azwj sky and His-azwj earth!
ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُزَوِّجَ فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ فَقَدْ زَوَّجْتُهُ عَلَى أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ مِثْقَالِ فِضَّةٍ إِنْ رَضِيَ بِذَلِكَ عَلِيٌّ
Then, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Commanded me-saww to get (Syeda) Fatima-asws married to Ali-asws, so I-saww am marrying to him-asws based upon four hundred ounces of silver, if Ali-asws agrees with that!’
ثُمَّ دَعَا بِطَبَقِ بُسْرٍ فَقَالَ انْتَهِبُوا
He-saww called for a tray of dates. He-saww said: ‘Help yourselves!’
فَبَيْنَا نَنْتَهِبُ إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا عَلِيُّ أَ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُزَوِّجَكَ فَاطِمَةَ فَقَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَهَا عَلَى أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ مِثْقَالِ فِضَّةٍ إِنْ رَضِيتَ
While we were helping ourselves, Ali-asws entered. The Prophet-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Do you-asws know that Allah-azwj has Commanded me-saww to get (Syeda) Fatima-asws married to you-asws, so I-saww hereby get her married upon four hundred ounces of silver, if you-asws agree!’
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيتُ بِذَلِكَ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَ عَنْ رَسُولِهِ
Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws am pleased with that with Allah-azwj and with His-azwj Rasool-saww!’
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص جَمَعَ اللَّهُ شَمْلَكُمَا وَ أَسْعَدَ جَدَّكُمَا وَ أَخْرَجَ مِنْكُمَا كَثِيراً طَيِّباً.
The Prophet-saww said: ‘May Allah-azwj Unite both your-asws families and Make your-asws grandfathers happy and Extract many good offspring from you-asws!’’[218]
7- قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْكَحْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ وَ أَنْكَحْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ ضُبَاعَةَ بِنْتَ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لِيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ أَشْرَفَ الشَّرَفِ الْإِسْلَامُ.
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww hereby get married Zayd Bin Harisa with Zainab Bint Juhsh, and I-saww got Al-Miqdad-ra married to Zuba’a Bint Al-Zubeyr son of Abdul Muttalib-as for them to know that the noblest is the nobility of Al-Islam!’’[219]

From Jabir Al-Ansari-ra having said: ‘When Rasool-Allah-saww got (Syeda) Fatima-asws to Ali-asws, may the greeting be upon them-asws, people from Qureysh came to him-saww. They said, ‘You-saww have got her-asws married to Ali-asws with a lowly dowry!’

He-saww said: ‘It was not me-saww who got her-asws married to Ali-asws, but Allah-azwj got him-asws married on the night there was ascension with me-saww, at Sidrat Al-Muntaha. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed to Al-Sidrat: “Sprinkle whatever is upon you!” So, it sprinkled the gems and the jewels upon the Maiden Houries. So, they are gifting to each other and priding with it and say, ‘This is from the confetti of Fatima-asws daughter of Muhammad-saww!’

When it was the night of the escorting, the Prophet-saww came with his-saww mule (called) ‘Al-Shahba’ and sat (Syeda) Fatima-asws upon it and said to (Syeda) Fatima-asws: ‘Ride!’ And he-saww instructed Salman-ra, may Allah-azwj Mercy him-ra: ‘Guide it!’, and the Prophet-saww ushered it.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص مَا أَهْبَطَكُمْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ
The Prophet-saww said: ‘What made you-as come down to the earth?’
قَالُوا جِئْنَا نَزُفُّ فَاطِمَةَ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا
They-as said: ‘We-as have come to escort (Syeda) Fatima-asws to her-asws husband!’

الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ دَبَّرَهُمْ بِحِكْمَتِهِ وَ أَمَرَهُمْ بِأَحْكَامِهِ وَ أَعَزَّهُمْ بِدِينِهِ وَ أَكْرَمَهُمْ بِنَبِيِّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَظَمَتُهُ جَعَلَ الْمُصَاهَرَةَ سَبَباً لَاحِقاً وَ أَمْراً مُفْتَرَضاً وَ شَجَّ بِهَا الْأَحْلَامَ وَ أَزَالَ بِهَا الْآثَامَ وَ أَكْرَمَ بِهَا الْأَنَامَ
He-azwj is the One Who Created creation by His-azwj Power, Managed them by His-azwj Wisdom, Commanded them with His-azwj Laws, Honoured them with His-azwj religion, and ennobled them with His-azwj Prophet Muhammad-saww. Verily, Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted is His-azwj Greatness, Made marriage ties a closely connected cause, an obligatory matter, by which He-azwj brought together minds, Removed sins, and Honoured the people!
فَقَالَ عَزَّ مِنْ قَائِلٍ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ مِنَ الْماءِ بَشَراً فَجَعَلَهُ نَسَباً وَ صِهْراً وَ كانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيراً
The Almighty Said on behalf of a speaker: And He it is Who Created a person from the water, so He Made for him relationships of lineage and marriage; and your Lord was always Powerful [25:54].
وَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ يَجْرِي إِلَى قَضَائِهِ وَ قَضَاؤُهُ يَجْرِي إِلَى قَدَرِهِ وَ لِكُلِّ قَضَاءٍ قَدَرٌ وَ لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍ كِتابٌ يَمْحُوا اللَّهُ ما يَشاءُ وَ يُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتابِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُزَوِّجَ فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ وَ قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُهُ عَلَى أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ مِثْقَالٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ إِنْ رَضِيَ عَلِيٌّ بِذَلِكَ
And, the Command of Allah-azwj Flowed to His-azwj Decree, and His-azwj Decree Flowed to His-azwj Pre-Determination, and for every Decree there is Pre-Determination, and for every term there is a Book Allah Deletes and Affirms whatever He so Desires to, and with Him is the Mother of the Book [13:39]. Allah-azwj has Commanded me-saww to get Fatima-asws married to Ali-asws, and has Obligated it upon four hundred ounces of silver, if Allah-azwj agrees with that’.
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيتُ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَ عَنْ رَسُولِهِ
Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws am pleased with Allah-azwj and with His-azwj Rasool-saww!’
فَقَالَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ جَمَعَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَكُمَا وَ أَسْعَدَ جَدَّكُمَا وَ أَخْرَجَ مِنْكُمَا كَثِيراً طَيِّباً.
He-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, said: ‘May Allah-azwj Unite you-asws two and Make your-asws grandfathers happy, and Extract a lot of good offspring from you-asws!’’[225]
14- نَوَادِرُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَا سَهَرَ إِلَّا فِي ثَلَاثٍ تَهَجُّدٍ بِالْقُرْآنِ أَوْ طَلَبِ عِلْمٍ أَوْ عَرُوسٍ تُهْدَى إِلَى زَوْجِهَا.
(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al Rawandy –
‘By his chain from Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘There is no staying awake at night except in three – holding vigil with the Quran, or seeking the knowledge, or a bride being guided to her husband’’.[226]
15- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَرْقُ بَيْنِ النِّكَاحِ وَ السِّفَاحِ ضَرْبُ الدَّفِ.
And by this chain, he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The difference between the marriage and the fornication is striking of the tambourines!’’[227]
16- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع قَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مَا ذَا نَقُولُ إِذَا زَفَفْنَا النِّسَاءَ
And by this chain, he-asws said: ‘Ali-asws said: ‘The Helpers said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! What is that we should be saying when we escort out women (brides)?’
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص قُولُوا أَتَيْنَاكُمْ أَتَيْنَاكُمْ فَحَيُّونَا نُحَيِّيكُمْ لَوْ لَا الذَّهَبَةُ الْحَمْرَاءُ مَا حَلَّتْ فَتَاتُنَا بِوَادِيكُمْ.
The Prophet-saww said: ‘We are coming to you! We are coming to you, so welcome us, we will welcome you! Had it not been for the red gold, our young daughters would not have been in your valleys!’’[228]
17- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص زُفُّوا عَرَائِسَكُمْ لَيْلًا وَ أَطْعِمُوا ضُحًى.
And by this chain, he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Escort your brides at night and feed at forenoon!’’[229]
18- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع مَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْكُمُ التَّزْوِيجَ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ لْيَقْرَأْ سُورَةَ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةَ يس فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لْيُثْنِ عَلَيْهِ وَ لْيَقُلِ
And by this chain, he-asws said: ‘Ali-asws said: ‘One from you who intends the marriage, let him pray two units Salat and read Surah Al Fatiha and Surah Yaseen. When he is free from the Salat, let him praise Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and let him laud upon Him-azwj and let him say,
اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي زَوْجَةً صَالِحَةً وَدُوداً وَلُوداً شَكُوراً قَنُوعاً غَيُوراً إِنْ أَحْسَنْتُ شَكَرَتْ وَ إِنْ أَسَأْتُ غَفَرَتْ وَ إِنْ ذَكَرْتُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَعَانَتْ وَ إِنْ نَسِيتُ ذَكَّرَتْ وَ إِنْ خَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا حَفِظَتْ وَ إِنْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا سُرَّتْ وَ إِنْ أَمَرْتُهَا أَطَاعَتْنِي وَ إِنْ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْهَا أَبَرَّتْ قَسَمِي وَ إِنْ غَضِبْتُ عَلَيْهَا أَرْضَتْنِي
‘O Allah-azwj! Provide me a righteous wife, affectionate, fertile, grateful, content, and protective, if I do good, she appreciates; if I do wrong, she forgives; if I do Your-azwj Zikr, she helps me; if I forget, she reminds me; if I leave her, she guards herself; if I enter to see her, she brings me joy; if I command her, she obeys me; if I swear an oath to her, she fulfils it; and if I become angry with her, she pleases me!
يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ هَبْ لِي ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُكَ وَ لَا أَجِدُ إِلَّا مَا قَسَمْتَ لِي فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا سَأَلَ
O Possessor of the Majestic and the Benevolence! Grant me that, for I am only asking You-azwj, and I find nothing except what You-azwj have Decreed for me!’ Whoever does that, Allah-azwj will Grant him what he has asked.
ثُمَّ إِذَا زُفَّتْ إِلَيْهِ وَ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لْيَمْسَحْ يَدَهُ عَلَى نَاصِيَتِهَا وَ لْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِي أَهْلِي وَ بَارِكْ لَهَا فِيَّ وَ مَا جَمَعْتَ بَيْنَنَا فَاجْمَعْ بَيْنَنَا فِي خَيْرٍ وَ يُمْنٍ وَ بَرَكَةٍ وَ إِنْ جَعَلْتَهَا فُرْقَةً فَاجْعَلْهَا فُرْقَةً إِلَى خَيْرٍ.
Then, when she is escorted to him, and he enters to see him, let him pray two units Salat, then let him wife his hand upon her forehead and let him say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Bless for me in my wife, and Bless for her regarding me, and whatever You-azwj United between us, Unite us in goodness, prosperity, and Blessing, and if You-azwj Make it a separation, then Make it a separation leading to goodness!’’[230]
19- الْهِدَايَةُ، إِذَا أَرَادَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ يَرْفَعْ يَدَهُ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ فَسَهِّلْ لِي مِنَ النِّسَاءِ أَحْسَنَهُنَّ خُلُقاً وَ أَعَفَّهُنَّ فَرْجاً وَ أَحْفَظَهُنَّ لِي فِي نَفْسِهَا وَ مَالِي وَ أَوْسَعَهُنَّ رِزْقاً وَ أَعْظَمَهُنَّ بَرَكَةً وَ قَيِّضْ لِي مِنْهَا وَلَداً تَجْعَلُهُ لِي خَلَفاً فِي حَيَاتِي وَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِلشَّيْطَانِ فِيهِ شِرْكاً وَ لَا نَصِيباً.
(The book) ‘Al Hidaya’ –
‘When the man intends to get married, let him pray two units Salat and raise his hand asking Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I intend to get married, so Facilitate for me from the women, their most excellent of manners, and their most chaste of private parts, and most protective for me regarding herself and my wealth, and their vastest of sustenance, and their mightiest of Blessing, and Ordain for me a good child from her. Make him a righteous successor during my lifetime and after my death, and do not Make for the Satan-la an association in it nor a share!’’[231]
20- مِنْهُ، وَ يُكْرَهُ التَّزْوِيجُ وَ الْقَمَرُ فِي الْعَقْرَبِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَرَ الْحُسْنَى.
And from him, ‘And the marriage is disliked while the moon is in the Scorpio, for the one who does that will not see the goodness’’.[232]
21- مُسْنَدُ فَاطِمَةَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي العريب [الْغَرِيبِ] عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يُزَوِّجَ فَاطِمَةَ ع عَلِيّاً ع قَالَ لَهُ اخْرُجْ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِنِّي خَارِجٌ فِي أَثَرِكَ وَ مُزَوِّجُكَ بِحَضْرَةِ النَّاسِ وَ ذَاكِرٌ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ مَا تَقَرُّ بِهِ عَيْنُكَ
(The book) ‘Musnad (Syeda) Fatima-asws’, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon her-asws – From Muhammad Bin Haroun Bin Musa, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Al Ghareeb, from Muhammad Bin Zakariya Bin Dinar, from Shueyb Bin Waqid, from Al Lays,
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws, from Jabir-ra having said, ‘When Rasool-Allah-saww wanted to get (Syeda) Fatima-asws married to Ali-asws, He-saww said: ‘Come out, O Abu Al-Hassan-asws, to the Masjid for I-saww will be coming out in your-asws tracks and get you-asws married in the presence of the people and be a mention of your-asws merits what your-asws eyes will be delighted with!’
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَخَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَنَا لَا أَعْقِلُ فَرَحاً وَ سُرُوراً فَاسْتَقْبَلَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرُ قَالا مَا وَرَاكَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ
Ali-asws said: ‘I went out from the presence of Rasool-Allah-saww and I-asws was not aware of any joy and happiness. Abu Bakr and Umar met me-asws. They said, ‘What is behind you-asws, O Abu Al-Hassan-asws?’
فَقُلْتُ يُزَوِّجُنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَاطِمَةَ وَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ زَوَّجَنِيهَا وَ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خَارِجٌ فِي أَثَرِي لِيَذْكُرَ بِحَضْرَةِ النَّاسِ
I-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww is getting me-asws married to (Syeda) Fatima-asws and he-saww informed me-asws that Allah-saww has Got her-asws married, and this is Rasool-Allah-saww coming out in my-asws tracks in order to mention in the presence of the people!’
فَفَرِحَا وَ سُرَّا وَ دَخَلَا مَعِيَ الْمَسْجِدَ
They were both joyful and happy, and entered the Masjid with me-asws’.
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا تَوَسَّطْنَاهُ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ إِنَّ وَجْهَهُ يَتَهَلَّلُ فَرَحاً وَ سُرُوراً فَقَالَ أَيْنَ بِلَالٌ
Ali-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! We had not come to the middle of it until Rasool-Allah-saww joined with us and his-saww face beaming of joy and happiness. He-saww said: ‘Where is Bilal-ra?’
فَأَجَابَ لَبَّيْكَ وَ سَعْدَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
He-ra answered, ‘Here I-ra and at your-saww service, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
Then he-saww said: ‘Where is Al-Miqdad-ra?’
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ الْمِقْدَادُ فَأَجَابَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص
He-ra answered, ‘Here I-ra am, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ سَلْمَانُ
Then he-saww said: ‘Where is Salman-ra?’
فَأَجَابَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص
He-ra answered, ‘Here I-ra am, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ
Then he-saww said: ‘Where is Abu Zarr-ra?’
فَأَجَابَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص
He-ra answered, ‘Here I-ra am, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
فَلَمَّا مَثُلُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ انْطَلِقُوا بِأَجْمَعِكُمْ فَقُومُوا فِي جَنْبَاتِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ اجْمَعُوا الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارَ وَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
When they stood in front of him-saww, he-saww said: ‘Go altogether and stand in the sides of Al-Medina and gather the Emigrants and the Helpers and the (other) Muslims!’
فَانْطَلَقُوا لِأَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَجَلَسَ عَلَى أَعْلَى دَرَجَةٍ مِنْ مِنْبَرِهِ فَلَمَّا حُشِدَ الْمَسْجِدُ بِأَهْلِهِ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ
They went at the instructions of Rasool-Allah-saww, and Rasool-Allah-saww came and sat on the top step of his-saww pulpit. When the Masjid filled up with its people, Rasool-Allah-saww stood. He-saww praised Allah-azwj and lauded upon Him-azwj!
فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَفَعَ السَّمَاءَ فَبَنَاهَا وَ بَسَطَ الْأَرْضَ فَدَحَاهَا وَ أَثْبَتَهَا بِالْجِبَالِ فَأَرْسَاهَا أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَاءَهَا وَ مَرْعَاهَا الَّذِي تَعَاظَمَ عَنْ صِفَاتِ الْوَاصِفِينَ وَ تَجَلَّلَ عَنْ تَحْبِيرِ لُغَاتِ النَّاطِقِينَ وَ جَعَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ثَوَابَ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ النَّارَ عِقَابَ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ جَعَلَنِي نِقْمَةً لِلْكَافِرِينَ وَ رَحْمَةً وَ رَأْفَةً عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
He-saww said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Raised the sky and Built it, and Extended the earth and Spread it and Stabilised it with the mountains. He-azwj Brought forth from it its water and pastures. He–azwj is the One Who is Exalted beyond the descriptions of describers and far above the expressions of speakers. He–azwj Made Paradise the Reward for the righteous and Hell the punishment for the wrongdoers. He–azwj made me-saww a means of vengeance against the Kafirs and a mercy and compassion for the Momineen!
عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكُمْ فِي دَارِ أَمَلٍ وَ عَدٍّ وَ أَجَلٍ وَ صِحَّةٍ وَ عِلَلٍ دَارِ زَوَالٍ وَ تَقَلُّبِ أَحْوَالٍ جُعِلَتْ سَبَباً لِلِارْتِحَالِ
O servants of Allah-azwj! You are in a dwelling of hope and preparation, of fixed terms and changing health and sickness, a dwelling that perishes and where conditions constantly change, made as a means for departure.
فَرَحِمَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً قَصَّرَ مِنْ أَمَلِهِ وَ جَدَّ فِي عَمَلِهِ وَ أَنْفَقَ الْفَضْلَ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَ أَمْسَكَ الْفَضْلَ مِنْ قُوتِهِ قَدَّمَ لِيَوْمِ فَاقَتِهِ يَوْمٍ يُحْشَرُ فِيهِ الْأَمْوَاتُ وَ تَخْشَعُ لَهُ الْأَصْوَاتُ وَ تُذْكَرُ الْأَوْلَادُ وَ الْأُمَّهَاتُ
May Allah-azwj Mercy a person who shortens his hopes, strives earnestly in his actions, spends the surplus of his wealth, and withholds the excess from his provisions. He sends forth (good deeds) for the day of his need a Day when the dead will be Resurrected, voices will be humbled, and children and mothers will be mentioned.
وَ تَرَى النَّاسَ سُكارى وَ ما هُمْ بِسُكارى يَوْمَ يُوَفِّيهِمُ اللَّهُ دِينَهُمُ الْحَقَّ وَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ يَوْمَ تَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ما عَمِلَتْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مُحْضَراً وَ ما عَمِلَتْ مِنْ سُوءٍ تَوَدُّ لَوْ أَنَّ بَيْنَها وَ بَيْنَهُ أَمَداً بَعِيداً
and you will see the people as intoxicated, and they will not be with intoxication [22:2] On that day Allah will Fulfil them, their Religion, the Truth, and they will come to know that Allah, He is the Manifest Truth [24:25] On the Day every soul shall find what it has done of good to be present and what it has done of evil. It will wish that between it and him there was a long duration [3:30].
فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْراً يَرَهُ وَ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ لِيَوْمٍ تَبْطُلُ فِيهِ الْأَنْسَابُ وَ تُقْطَعُ الْأَسْبَابُ وَ يَشْتَدُّ فِيهِ عَلَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ الْحِسَابُ وَ يُدْفَعُونَ إِلَى الْعَذَابِ فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فازَ وَ مَا الْحَياةُ الدُّنْيا إِلَّا مَتاعُ الْغُرُورِ
So, one who does good of the weight of a particle would see it [99:7] And one who does evil of the weight of a particle would see it [9:8], for a Day the lineages will be suspended and the causes will be cut off, and during it there the Reckoning will be intensified upon the criminals and they will be pushed to the Punishment. So, the one who is removed far away from the Fire and enters the Paradise he indeed has succeeded; and what is the life of the world except for a deceptive pleasure? [3:185].
أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا الْأَنْبِيَاءُ حُجَجُ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ النَّاطِقُونَ بِكِتَابِهِ الْعَامِلُونَ بِوَحْيِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُزَوِّجَ كَرِيمَتِي فَاطِمَةَ بِأَخِي وَ ابْنِ عَمِّي وَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ
O you people! But rather the Prophets-as are Divine Authorities of Allah-azwj in His-saww earth, the speakers with His-azwj Book, the workers with His-azwj Revelation. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Commanded me-saww to get my-saww honourable (Syeda) Fatima-asws to my-saww brother-asws and son-asws of my-saww cousin, and foremost of the people with me-saww, Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws.
وَ إِنْ قَدْ زَوَّجَهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ بِشَهَادَةِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُزَوِّجَهُ وَ أُشْهِدَكُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ
And He-azwj has already got him-asws married in the sky with the Angels as witnesses and has Commanded me-saww that I-saww should get her-asws married to him-asws and keep you all as witnesses upon that!’
ثُمَّ جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ثُمَّ قَالَ قُمْ يَا عَلِيُّ فَاخْطُبْ لِنَفْسِكَ
The Rasool-Allah-saww sat down. Then he-saww said: ‘Stand, O Ali-asws and address for yourself-asws!’
قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَخْطُبُ وَ أَنْتَ حَاضِرٌ
He-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Should I-asws address while you-saww are present?’
قَالَ اخْطُبْ فَهَكَذَا أَمَرَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ أَنْ آمُرَكَ أَنْ تَخْطُبَ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ لَوْ لَا أَنَّ الْخَطِيبَ فِي الْجِنَانِ دَاوُدُ لَكُنْتَ أَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ
He-saww said: ‘Address for that is how Jibraeel-as instructed me-saww to instruct you-asws to address for yourself-asws, and had it not been that Dawood-as is the preacher in the Paradise, it would have been you-asws, O Ali-asws!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اسْمَعُوا قَوْلَ نَبِيِّكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافِ نَبِيٍّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ وَصِيٌّ وَ أَنَا خَيْرُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ وَصِيِّي خَيْرُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ
Then the Prophet-saww said: ‘O you people! Listen to the words of your Prophet-saww! Surely, Allah-azwj Sent (one hundred and twenty-) four thousand Prophets-as. For each Prophet-saww was a successor, and I-saww am best of the Prophets-as and my-saww successor-asws is best of the successors-as!’
ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ ابْتَدَأَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَلْهَمَ بِفَوَاتِحِ عِلْمِهِ النَّاطِقِينَ وَ أَنَارَ بِثَوَاقِبِ عَظَمَتِهِ قُلُوبَ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ أَوْضَحَ بِدَلَائِلِ أَحْكَامِهِ طُرُقَ الْفَاصِلِينَ وَ أَنْهَجَ بِابْنِ عَمِّيَ الْمُصْطَفَى الْعَالَمِينَ وَ عَلَتْ دَعْوَتُهُ لِرَوَاعِي الْمُلْحِدِينَ وَ اسْتَظْهَرَتْ كَلِمَتُهُ عَلَى بَوَاطِلِ الْمُبْطِلِينَ وَ جَعَلَهُ خَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ سَيِّدَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Then Rasool-Allah-saww withheld, and Ali-asws initiated. He-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Inspired the speakers with openings of His-azwj Knowledge and Irradiated hearts of the pious with lights of His-azwj Magnificence, and Clarified the paths of the discerners with evidences of His-azwj Rulings, and Guided the worlds through my-asws uncle the Chosen ones, and Elevate his-saww call to confront the atheists, and Caused his-saww words to prevail upon falsehoods of the falsifiers, and Made him-saww last of the Prophets-as and chief of the Messengers-as.
فَبَلَّغَ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّهِ وَ صَدَعَ بِأَمْرِهِ وَ بَلَّغَ عَنِ اللَّهِ آيَاتِهِ
So, he-saww delivered the Message of his-saww Lord-azwj and proclaimed with His-azwj Commands and Delivered His-azwj Verses on behalf of Allah-azwj!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْعِبَادَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ أَعَزَّهُمْ بِدِينِهِ وَ أَكْرَمَهُمْ بِنَبِيِّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ رَحِمَ وَ كَرَّمَ وَ شَرَّفَ وَ عَظَّمَ
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Created the servant by His-azwj Power, and Strengthened them through His-azwj religion, and Honoured them with His-azwj Prophet-saww, and Showed Mercy, and Ennobled, and Magnified!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى نَعْمَائِهِ وَ أَيَادِيهِ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ شَهَادَةً تَبْلُغُهُ وَ تُرْضِيهِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَاةً تُرْبِحُهُ وَ تُحْظِيهِ
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj His-azwj bounties and His-azwj Favour, and I-asws testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj, a testimony which reaches Him-azwj and Pleases Him-azwj, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww a Salawaat profiting him-saww and enlarging his-saww share!
وَ النِّكَاحُ مِمَّا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَ أَذِنَ فِيهِ وَ مَجْلِسُنَا هَذَا مِمَّا قَضَاهُ وَ رَضِيَهُ وَ هَذَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ زَوَّجَنِي ابْنَتَهُ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَى صَدَاقِ أَرْبَعِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ دِينَارٍ قَدْ رَضِيتُ بِذَلِكَ فَاسْأَلُوهُ وَ اشْهَدُوا
And the marriage is from what Allah-azwj has Commanded with and has Permitted, and this gathering of ours is from what He-azwj has Decreed and Pleases Him-azwj, and this Muhammad-saww Bin Abdullah-as has married his-saww daughter (Syeda) Fatima-asws to me-asws upon a dower of four hundred Dirhams and one Dinar. I-asws am pleased with that, so ask him-saww and bear witness!’
فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ زَوَّجْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
The Muslims said, ‘Do you-azwj marry her-asws to him-asws, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
قَالَ نَعَمْ
He-saww said: ‘Yes!’
قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَهُمَا وَ عَلَيْهِمَا وَ جَمَعَ شَمْلَهُمَا.
The Muslims said, ‘May Allah-azwj Bless them-asws both, and upon them-asws, and Unite their lives!’’[233]
22- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ بَدْرِ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ الطَّبَرِسْتَانِيِّ عَنِ الصَّدُوقِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَحْمُودِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: حَضَرْتُ مَجْلِسَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ حِينَ تَزْوِيجِ الْمَأْمُونِ وَ كَانُوا بَعَثُوا إِلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ أَكْثَمَ فَسَأَلُوهُ الِاحْتِيَالَ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع بِمَسْأَلَةٍ فِي الْفِقْهِ يُلْقِيهَا عَلَيْهِ
And from him, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Badr Bin Ammar Al-Tabrastany, from Al-Sadouq, from Muhammad Al-Mahmoudy, from his father who said, ‘I attended the gathering of Abu Ja’far-asws when Al-Mamoun married (his daughter) to him-asws, and they had sent for Yahya Bin Al-Aksam to ask him-asws a trick question of jurisprudence to be cast to him-asws.
فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا وَ حَضَرَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالُوا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هَذَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَكْثَمَ إِنْ أَذِنْتَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ فِي الْفِقْهِ فَيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ فَهْمُهُ
When they had gathered and Abu Ja’far-asws presented, they said, ‘O commander of the faithful! This is Yahya Bin Aksam, if you could permit him to ask Abu Ja’far-asws about an issue in jurisprudence so it can be seen how his-asws understanding is!’
فَأَذِنَ الْمَأْمُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ
Al-Mamoun permitted regarding that.
فَقَالَ يَحْيَى لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع مَا تَقُولُ فِي مُحْرِمٍ قَتَلَ صَيْداً
Yahya said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘What are you-asws saying regarding someone in Ihraam (consecrated) who kills a prey?’
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع فِي حِلٍّ أَمْ فِي حَرَمٍ عَالِماً أَمْ جَاهِلًا عَمْداً أَوْ خَطَأً صَغِيراً أَوْ كَبِيراً حُرّاً أَوْ عَبْداً مُبْتَدِئاً أَوْ مُقْبِلًا مِنْ ذَوَاتِ الطَّيْرِ أَوْ غَيْرِهَا مِنْ صِغَارِ الصَّيْدِ أَوْ مِنْ كِبَارِهَا مُصِرّاً أَوْ نَادِماً رَمَى بِاللَّيْلِ أَوْ فِي وَكْرِهَا أَوْ بِالنَّهَارِ عِيَاناً مُحْرِماً لِلْعُمْرَةِ أَوِ الْحَجِّ
Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘In the de-consecrated area or consecrated? Knowingly or ignorantly? Deliberately or mistakenly? Small (prey) or big? (Is he) a freeman or a slave? Initiating or in confrontation? From the birds or others from the small prey, or from their big ones? Persistently or regretfully? Pelting it at night or in its nest or at daytime? Intending his Ihraam for the Umrah or for the Hajj?’
فَانْقَطَعَ يَحْيَى انْقِطَاعاً لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَجْلِسِ وَ تَحَيَّرَ النَّاسُ تَعَجُّباً مِنْ جَوَابِهِ وَ قسط [نَشِطَ] الْمَأْمُونُ فَقَالَ تَخْطُبُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع لِنَفْسِكَ
Yahya interrupted cutting him-asws off. It was not hidden unto anyone from the people of the gathering, and the people were confused, astonished from his-asws answer, and Al-Mamoun was activated. He said, ‘Address, O Abu Ja’far-asws, for yourself-asws!’
فَقَامَ ع فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مُنْعِمِ النِّعَمِ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ الْهَادِي لِإِفْضَالِهِ بِمَنِّهِ وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ الَّذِي جَمَعَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ مَا فَوَّقَهُ [فَرَّقَهُ] فِي الرُّسُلِ قَبْلَهُ وَ جَعَلَ تُرَاثَهُ إِلَى مَنْ خَصَّهُ بِخِلَافَتِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً
He-asws stood up. He-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj, Bestower of the bounties by His-azwj Mercy, and the Guide to His-azwj Grace by His-azwj Conferment, and may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon the best of His-azwj creatures in whom He-azwj Gathered the merits that distinguished him-saww among the Messengers-as before him-saww, and Made his-saww inheritance to the one He-azwj Specialised with his-saww caliphate, and the abundant greetings.
وَ هَذَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ زَوَّجَنِي ابْنَتَهُ عَلَى مَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ إِمْسَاكٍ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٍ بِإِحْسَانٍ وَ قَدْ بَذَلْتُ لَهَا مِنَ الصَّدَاقِ مَا بَذَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَزْوَاجِهِ خَمْسَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ نَحَلْتُهَا مِنْ مَالِي مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ زَوَّجْتَنِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And this commander of the faithful is marrying (his daughter) to me-asws upon what Allah-azwj has Made for the Muslims upon the Muslims, either keeping them in kindness or releasing them with good treatment. I-asws have given her as dowry what Rasool-Allah-saww had given, five hundred Dirhams, and I-asws have additionally granted her one hundred thousand Dirhams from my-asws own wealth. Do you marry her to me-asws, O commander of the faithful?’
فَقَالَ الْمَأْمُونُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ إِقْرَاراً بِنِعْمَتِهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ إِخْلَاصاً لِعَظَمَتِهِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِهِ وَ خِيَرَتِهِ وَ كَانَ مِنْ قَضَاءِ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْأَنَامِ أَنْ أَغْنَاهُمْ بِالْحَلَالِ عَنِ الْحَرَامِ
Al-Mamoun said, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj acknowledging His-azwj bounties, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, purely for His-azwj Magnificence, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww His-azwj servant and His-azwj Choice, and it has been from the Decree of Allah-azwj upon the people in order to Make them self-sufficient with the Permissible, from the Prohibited!
فَقَالَ وَ أَنْكِحُوا الْأَيامى مِنْكُمْ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبادِكُمْ وَ إِمائِكُمْ إِنْ يَكُونُوا فُقَراءَ يُغْنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ اللَّهُ واسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
He-azwj Said: And marry the single ones from you, and the righteous ones from your slaves and maids. If they happen to be poor, Allah would Enrich them from His Grace, and Allah is Capacious, Knowing [24:32].
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ خَطَبَ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ بَذَلَ لَهَا مِنَ الصَّدَاقِ خَمْسَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ قَدْ زَوَّجْتُهُ فَهَلْ قَبِلْتَ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ
Then, Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws hereby proposes to Umm Al-Fazl, daughter of Abdullah, and spends for her a dowry of five hundred Dirhams, and I marry her to him-asws. So, do you-asws accept, O Abu Ja’far-asws!’
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع قَدْ قَبِلْتُ هَذَا التَّزْوِيجَ بِهَذَا الصَّدَاقِ
Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘I-asws have accepted this marriage, with this dowry!’
ثُمَّ أَوْلَمَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَأْمُونُ فَجَاءَ النَّاسُ عَلَى مَرَاتِبِهِمْ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ سَمِعْنَا كَلَاماً كَأَنَّهُ كَلَامُ الْمَلَّاحِينَ فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِالْخَدَمِ يُجْرُونَ سَفِينَةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ مَمْلُوَّةً غَالِيَةً فَصَبَغُوا بِهَا لِحَى الْخَاصَّةِ ثُمَّ مَدُّوهَا إِلَى دَارِ الْعَامَّةِ فَطَيَّبُوهُمْ تَمَامَ الْخَبَرِ.
Then Al-Mamoun held a wedding feast for him, and people came according to their ranks. While we were in that state, we heard voices like those of sailors, and behold, servants were pulling along a boat made of silver, filled with perfumes of great value. They dyed the beards of the distinguished guests with it, then extended it to the common people and perfumed them as well. The complete Hadeeth’’. [234]
قُولُ قَدْ مَضَى بِسَنَدَيْنِ فِي أَبْوَابِ تَارِيخِ الْجَوَادِ ع أَنَّهُ لَمَّا أَرَادَ الْمَأْمُونُ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهُ ابْنَتَهُ قَالَ لَهُ أَ تَخْطُبُ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ
I say, ‘It has already passed with two chains of attribution in the chapter on the history of Al-Jawad-asws that when Al-Mamoun wanted to marry his daughter to him-asws, he said to him-asws, ‘Will you-asws address, O Abu Ja’far-asws?’
أَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
He-asws said: ‘Yes, O commander of the faithful!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَأْمُونُ اخْطُبْ لِنَفْسِكَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَدْ رَضِيتُكَ لِنَفْسِي وَ أَنَا مُزَوِّجُكَ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ ابْنَتِي وَ إِنْ رَغِمَ قَوْمٌ لِذَلِكَ
Al-Mamoun said to him-asws, ‘Address for yourself-asws, may I be sacrificed for you-asws, for I have agreed for myself, and I shall get my daughter married to you-asws and even if it rubs the noses of the people at that!’
فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ إِقْرَاراً بِنِعْمَتِهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ إِخْلَاصاً لِوَحْدَانِيَّتِهِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِ بَرِيَّتِهِ وَ الْأَصْفِيَاءِ مِنْ عِتْرَتِهِ
Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj in acknowledgement of His-azwj bounties, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, sincerely to His-azwj Oneness, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon the chief of His-azwj created beings, and the elites from his-saww family!
أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَقَدْ كَانَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْأَنَامِ أَنْ أَغْنَاهُمْ بِالْحَلَالِ عَنِ الْحَرَامِ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ أَنْكِحُوا الْأَيامى مِنْكُمْ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبادِكُمْ وَ إِمائِكُمْ إِنْ يَكُونُوا فُقَراءَ يُغْنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ اللَّهُ واسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
As for after, it has been from the Grace of Allah-azwj upon the people that He-azwj Makes them self-sufficient with the Permissible from the Prohibited. He-azwj the Glorious Said: and marry the single ones from you, and the righteous ones from your slaves and maids. If they happen to be poor, Allah would Enrich them from His Grace, and Allah is Capacious, Knowing [24:32].
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى يَخْطُبُ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَأْمُونِ وَ قَدْ بَذَلَ لَهَا مِنَ الصَّدَاقِ مَهْرَ جَدَّتِهِ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ هُوَ خَمْسُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ جِيَاداً فَهَلْ زَوَّجْتَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِهَا عَلَى هَذَا الصَّدَاقِ الْمَذْكُورِ
Then, Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws hereby proposes to Umm Al-Fazeyl daughter of Abdullah Al-Mamoun, and he-asws spends for her a dowry of his-asws grandmother-asws (Syeda) Fatima-asws, daughter-asws of Muhammad-saww, and it is five hundred Dirhams generously. So, do you marry her to him-asws upon this mentioned dower?’
فَقَالَ الْمَأْمُونُ نَعَمْ زَوَّجْتُكَ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتِي عَلَى الصَّدَاقِ الْمَذْكُورِ فَهَلْ قَبِلْتَ النِّكَاحَ
Al-Mamoun said, ‘Yes O Abu Ja’far, I have married my daughter Umm Al-Fazl to you based upon the mentioned dowry. So, do you-asws accept the marriage?’
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ قَدْ قَبِلْتُ ذَلِكَ وَ رَضِيتُ بِهِ.
Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘I-asws have accepted that and am pleased with it!’’[235]

He-asws said to me: ‘What are you saying regarding a man who marries a woman in this place and elsewhere without any proof nor witnesses?’
فَقُلْتُ يُكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ
I said, ‘That is disliked’.
فَقَالَ لِي بَلَى فَانْكِحْهَا فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَ فِي غَيْرِهِ بِلَا شُهُودٍ وَ لَا بَيِّنَةٍ.
He-asws said to me: ‘Yes, he can marry her in this place and elsewhere without any witnesses or proof!’’[236]

ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِي حَتَّى أَقْعَدَنِي عِنْدَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُمَا أَحَبُّ خَلْقِكَ إِلَيَّ فَأَحِبَّهُمَا وَ بَارِكْ فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا وَ اجْعَلْ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْكَ حَافِظاً وَ إِنِّي أُعِيذُهُمَا بِكَ وَ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ.
Then he-saww came with me-asws until he-saww made me-asws seated in her-asws presence, then said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Both of them-asws are the most beloved of Your-azwj creatures to me-saww, so Love them-asws and Bless in their-asws offspring, and Make upon them-asws a protector from You-azwj, and I-saww seek Refuge with You-azwj for them-asws and their-asws offspring from the Pelted Satan-la’’.[243]

‘From Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws, from Jabir Bin Abdullah-ra having said, ‘When Rasool-Allah-saww got (Syeda) Fatima-asws married to Ali-asws, some people from Qureysh came to him-saww. They said, ‘You-saww have got her-asws married to Ali-asws with a lowly dowry!’

He-saww said: ‘It was not I-saww who got her-asws married to Ali-asws, but Allah-azwj Mighty Who got him-asws married on the night there was ascension with me-saww at Sidrat Al-Muntaha. Allah-azwj Revealed to the Sidrah: “Sprinkle whatever is upon you!” It sprinkled the gems, and the jewels, and the coral. The Maiden Houries rushed to pick these up. They are gifting it to each other and saying, ‘This is from the confetti of (Syeda) Fatima-asws daughter-asws of Muhammad-saww!’

When it was the night of the escorting, the Prophet-saww came with his-saww mule, Al-Shahba, and laid a cloak upon it and said to (Syeda) Fatima-asws: ‘Ride!’, and instructed Salman-ra to lead it while the Prophet-saww was ushering it.

While he-saww was in one of the streets when the Prophet-saww heard some noise. Behold, he-saww was with Jibraeel-as among seventy thousand, and Mikaeel-as among seventy thousand (Angels). The Prophet-saww said: ‘What made you all to descend to the earth?’
قَالُوا جِئْنَا نَزُفُّ فَاطِمَةَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ
They said, ‘We have come to escort (Syeda) Fatima-asws to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws!’
فَكَبَّرَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ كَبَّرَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ كَبَّرَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ كَبَّرَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص فَوَقَعَ التَّكْبِيرُ عَلَى الْعَرَائِسِ مِنْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ.
Jibraeel-as exclaimed Takbeer, and Mikaeel-as exclaimed Takbeer, and Muhammad-saww exclaimed Takbeer. Thus, the (exclamation of) Takbeer fell upon the weddings (as a tradition), from that night’’.[244]

Then he-saww said: ‘Support the marriage and announce it between you, and strike the tambourine upon it!’

Why are you lying, for when Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Got (Syeda) Fatima-asws married to Ali-asws, He-azwj Commanded the trees of Paradise to Sprinkle upon them from their jewellery and their ornaments, and their sapphire, and their gems, and their emeralds, and their brocade. They took from these what they didn’t even know.
وَ لَقَدْ نَحَلَ اللَّهُ طُوبَى فِي مَهْرِ فَاطِمَةَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا فَجَعَلَهَا فِي مَنْزِلِ عَلِيٍّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ.
And Allah-azwj Granted (the tree of) Tooba as a dowry of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon her-asws, so He-azwj Made it to be in the house of Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws’’.[263]

(The book) ‘Ilal Al Sharaie’, (and) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Al Talaqany, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Adawy, from Yusuf Bin Yahya Al Asbahani, from Ismail Bin Hatim, from Ahmad Bin Salih, from Saeed, from Amro Bin Hafs, from Is’haq Bin Najeeh, from Huseyb, from Mujahid, from Abu Saeed Al Khudry who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww advised Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. He-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! When the bride enters your-asws house, take off her shoes when she is seated and wash her feet and pour the water from the door of your house up to the outskirts of your-asws house.
فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ أَخْرَجَ اللَّهُ مِنْ دَارِكَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ لَوْنٍ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَ أَدْخَلَ فِيهَا سَبْعِينَ لَوْناً مِنَ الْبَرَكَةِ وَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ سَبْعِينَ رَحْمَةً تُرَفْرِفُ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْعَرُوسِ حَتَّى تَنَالَ بَرَكَتُهَا كُلَّ زَاوِيَةٍ فِي بَيْتِكَ وَ تَأْمَنَ الْعَرُوسُ مِنَ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْبَرَصِ أَنْ يُصِيبَهَا مَا دَامَتْ فِي تِلْكَ الدَّارِ وَ امْنَعِ الْعَرُوسَ فِي أُسْبُوعِهَا مِنَ الْأَلْبَانِ وَ الْخَلِّ وَ الْكُزْبُرَةِ وَ التُّفَّاحَةِ الْحَامِضَةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَشْيَاءِ
When you-asws were to do that, Allah-azwj will Expel from your-asws house seventy thousand types of poverty and Enter into it seventy types of Blessings, and Send down upon you-asws seventy Mercies hovering upon the head of the bride until every corner in your house attains her Blessings, and the bride will be safe from the insanity, and the leprosy, and the vitiligo afflicting her for as long as she is in that house, and prevent the bride in her (first) week from the dairy products, and the vinegar, and the coriander, and the sour apples, from these four things’.
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَمْنَعُهَا هَذِهِ الْأَشْيَاءَ الْأَرْبَعَةَ
Ali-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww, and for which thing (reason) should I-asws prevent her from these four things?’
قَالَ لِأَنَّ الرَّحِمَ تَعْقَمُ وَ تَبْرُدُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَشْيَاءِ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ وَ حَصِيرٌ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ خَيْرٌ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ لَا تَلِدُ
He-saww said: ‘Because the womb becomes barren from the child and cold from these four things, and the straw mat in a corner of the house is better than a woman not giving birth’.
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَمَا بَالُ الْخَلِّ تَمْنَعُ مِنْهُ
Ali-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! What is the matter (reason) with the vinegar, she is prevented from it?’
قَالَ إِذَا حَاضَتْ عَلَى الْخَلِّ لَمْ تَطْهُرْ أَبَداً طُهْراً بِتَمَامٍ وَ الْكُزْبُرَةُ تُثِيرُ الْحَيْضَ فِي بَطْنِهَا وَ تُشَدِّدُ عَلَيْهَا الْوِلَادَةَ وَ التُّفَّاحَةُ الْحَامِضَةُ تَقْطَعُ حَيْضَهَا فَيَصِيرُ دَاءً عَلَيْهَا
He-saww said: ‘When she menstruates being upon the vinegar she will never be completely pure, and the coriander provokes the menstruation in her belly and makes the childbirth harder for her, and the sour apples cuts her menstruation so it would become an illness upon her’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تُجَامِعِ امْرَأَتَكَ فِي أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ وَ وَسَطِهِ وَ آخِرِهِ فَإِنَّ الْجُنُونَ وَ الْجُذَامَ وَ الْخَبَلَ يُسْرِعُ إِلَيْهَا وَ إِلَى وَلَدِهَا
Then he-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Do not have marital intimacy with your-asws wife in the beginning of the month, and its middle, and its end, for the insanity, and the leprosy, and the craze would be quicker to her and to her child.
يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تُجَامِعِ امْرَأَتَكَ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ قُضِيَ بَيْنَكُمَا وَلَدٌ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ يَكُونُ أَحْوَلَ وَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَفْرَحُ بِالْحَوَلِ فِي الْإِنْسَانِ
O Ali-asws! Do not have marital intimacy with your-asws wife after the midday, for if a child is conceived for you in that time it would be cross-eyed, and the Satan-la rejoices with the cross-eyed (ness) in the human being.
يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تَتَكَلَّمْ عِنْدَ الْجِمَاعِ فَإِنْ قُضِيَ بَيْنَكُمَا وَلَدٌ لَا يُؤْمَنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَخْرَسَ وَ لَا يَنْظُرَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى فَرْجِ امْرَأَتِهِ وَ لْيَغُضَّنَّ بَصَرَهُ عِنْدَ الْجِمَاعِ فَإِنَّ النَّظَرَ إِلَى الْفَرْجِ يُورِثُ الْعَمَى يَعْنِي فِي الْوَلَدِ
O Ali-asws! Do not talk during the marital intimacy, for if a child is conceived between you, there is no safety from it being mute, and not one of you look at the private part of his wife and let him close his eyes during the marital intimacy, for looking at the private part inherits the blindness, meaning in the child.
يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تُجَامِعِ امْرَأَتَكَ بِشَهْوَةِ امْرَأَةِ غَيْرِكَ فَإِنِّي أَخْشَى إِنْ قُضِيَ بَيْنَكُمَا وَلَدٌ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُخَنَّثاً مُؤَنَّثاً بَخِيلًا
O Ali-asws! Do not have marital intimacy with your-asws wife with lust for another woman, for it is feared if a child is conceived between you it would be effeminate, weak, miserly.

O Ali-asws! When you are with intimate impurity with your-asws wife, do not read the Quran, for it is feared that a flame from the sky would descend upon you and incinerate you both.

O Ali-asws! Do not have intimate marital relation except and with you is a rag and with your wife is a rag, and do not wipe her with one rag for the desire will fall upon the desire, and that would result in enmity between you then it would lead you to the separation and the divorce.
يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تُجَامِعِ امْرَأَتَكَ مِنْ قِيَامٍ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ فِعْلِ الْحَمِيرِ وَ إِنْ قُضِيَ بَيْنَكُمَا وَلَدٌ يَكُونٌ بَوَّالًا فِي الْفِرَاشِ كَالْحَمِيرِ الْبَوَّالَةِ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ –
(In the Ahadeeth) ‘Al-Arbamiya’ (400 Ahadith) from ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Whenever one of you intends to come to his wife, he should not hasten it for there are needs for the women. Whenever one of you sees a woman who fascinates him, let him come to his wife, for with his wife is similar to what he has seen, and he should not make a way for the Satan-la to his heart. Let him turn his sight away from her.
فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ زَوْجَةٌ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ ثُمَّ لْيَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُبِيحُ لَهُ بِرَأْفَتِهِ مَا يُغْنِيهِ
If there does not happen to be a wife for him, let him pray two units Salat and praise Allah-azwj a lot, and he should send Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws. Then let him ask Allah-azwj from His-azwj Grace, for He-azwj will Legalise for him, by His-azwj Kindness, what would suffice him.
إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ زَوْجَتَهُ فَلْيُقِلَّ الْكَلَامَ فَإِنَّ الْكَلَامَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يُورِثُ الْخَرَسَ لَا يَنْظُرَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى بَاطِنِ فَرْجِ امْرَأَتِهِ لَعَلَّهُ يَرَى مَا يَكْرَهُ وَ يُورِثُ الْعَمَى
Whenever one of you comes to his wife, let him reduce the talk, for the talk during that inherits the muteness. Not one of you should look inside the private part of his wife lest he sees what he dislikes and he would inherit the blindness.
إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ مُجَامَعَةَ زَوْجَتِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اسْتَحْلَلْتُ فَرْجَهَا بِأَمْرِكَ وَ قَبِلْتُهَا بِأَمَانَتِكَ فَإِنْ قَضَيْتَ لِي مِنْهَا وَلَداً فَاجْعَلْهُ ذَكَراً سَوِيّاً وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِلشَّيْطَانِ فِيهِ نَصِيباً وَ لَا شِرْكاً.
When one of you intends to have intimate relations with his wife, let him say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I have legalised her private parts by Your-azwj Command, and have accepted her by You-azwj entrustment. If You-azwj were to Decree a child for me from her Make it a normal make (not disabilities), and do not Make for the Satan-la a share in it nor participation’’.[284]
وَ قَالَ ع إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَهْلَهُ فَلْيَتَوَقَّ أَوَّلَ الْأَهِلَّةِ وَ أَنْصَافَ الشُّهُورِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَطْلُبُ الْوَلَدَ فِي هَذَيْنِ الْوَقْتَيْنِ وَ الشَّيَاطِينُ يَطْلُبُونَ الشِّرْكَ فِيهِمَا فَيَجِيئُونَ وَ يُحْبِلُونَ.
And he-asws said: ‘Whenever one of you intends to come to his wife, let him fear beginning of the crescents, and middle of the months, for the Satan-la sees the child in these two timings, and the Satans-la are seeking the participation during these two (timings), so they-la would be coming and impregnating’’.[285]

And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘as you like [2:223], i.e. whenever you like in the private part (front), and the evidence regarding the private part (front) are His-azwj Words: Your wives are a farm for you. The farm is the cultivation, and the cultivation of the frontal private part is in the place for (cultivating) the child’.

And if he has intimate marital relations with her thighs and ejaculates, the washing is upon him and it isn’t upon the woman. But rather, upon her to wash her things, and if did not discharge, washing is not upon him.
وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يُجَامِعَ امْرَأَتَهُ وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ وَ لا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذا تَطَهَّرْنَ أَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ الْغُسْلَ عَنِ الْحَيْضِ
And it is not allowed for the man that he has intimate marital relations with his wife while she is menstruating because Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Prohibited from that. He-azwj Said: ‘and do not go near them until they are clean [2:222], meaning by that the washing from the menstruation.
فَإِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مُسْتَعْجِلًا وَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا فَلْيَأْمُرْهَا أَنْ تَغْسِلَ فَرْجَهَا ثُمَّ يُجَامِعُهَا
If the man is hasty to have intimate relations with his wife while she is menstruation and he wants to have intimate marital relations with her, he should instruct her to wash her private part, then he can have intimate marital relation with her.
وَ مَنْ جَامَعَ امْرَأَةً حَائِضاً فِي أَوَّلِ الْحَيْضِ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ بِدِينَارٍ وَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي وَسَطِهِ فَنِصْفُ دِينَارٍ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي آخِرِهِ فَرُبُعُ دِينَارٍ وَ مَنْ جَامَعَ أَمَتَهُ وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَمْدَادٍ مِنْ طَعَامٍ.
And one who has intimate marital relations with his menstruating wife in the beginning of the menstruation, upon him is to donate a Dinar, and if it was in its middle, half a Dinar. If it was in its end, a quarter of a Dinar; and the one who has intimate marital relations while she is menstruating, upon him is to donate three handfuls of food’’.[322]

CHAPTER 66 – THE ASPECTS OF MARRIAGE, AND IN IT ARE PROOFS OF TEMPORARY MARRIAGE AND ITS REWARDS, AND A SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS OF EACH TYPE OF IT AND ITS RULINGS
1- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَحِلُّ الْفُرُوجُ بِثَلَاثَةِ وُجُوهٍ نِكَاحٍ بِمِيرَاثٍ وَ نِكَاحٍ بِلَا مِيرَاثٍ وَ نِكَاحٍ بِمِلْكِ الْيَمِينِ.
Ahmad Bin Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from his grandfather, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuni,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, said: ‘The private parts are legalised by three perspectives – marriage of inheritance, and marriage without inheritance, and marriage with possession of the right hand (slave girls)’’.[323]
2- ج، الإحتجاج كَتَبَ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ إِلَى النَّاحِيَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ سَائِلًا عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مِمَّنْ يَقُولُ بِالْحَقِّ وَ يَرَى الْمُتْعَةَ وَ يَقُولُ بِالرَّجْعَةِ إِلَّا أَنَّ لَهُ أَهْلًا مُوَافِقَةً لَهُ فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِهِ وَ قَدْ عَاهَدَهَا أَنْ لَا يَتَزَوَّجَ عَلَيْهَا وَ لَا يَتَمَتَّعَ وَ لَا يَتَسَرَّى وَ قَدْ فَعَلَ هَذَا مُنْذُ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً
(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ –
‘Al-Himeyri wrote to the Holy Authority (12th Imam-ajfj) asking about the man who follows the truth, believes in temporary marriage (Mut‘ah), and believes in the return (Raj‘ah), but has a wife who is compatible with him in all his affairs. He made a pledge to her that he would neither marry another woman, nor enter into a Mut‘ah contract, nor take a concubine. He has done this for nineteen years.
وَ وَفَى بِقَوْلِهِ فَرُبَّمَا غَابَ عَنْ مَنْزِلِهِ الْأَشْهُرَ فَلَا يَتَمَتَّعُ وَ لَا يتحرك [تَتَحَرَّكُ] نَفْسُهُ أَيْضاً لِذَلِكَ وَ يَرَى أَنَّ وُقُوفَ مَنْ مَعَهُ مِنْ أَخٍ وَ وَلَدٍ وَ غُلَامٍ وَ وَكِيلٍ وَ حَاشِيَةٍ مِمَّا يُقَلِّلُهُ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ وَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقَامَ عَلَى مَا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ مَحَبَّةً لِأَهْلِهِ وَ مَيْلًا إِلَيْهَا وَ صِيَانَةً لَهَا وَ لِنَفْسِهِ لَا لِتَحْرِيمِ الْمُتْعَةِ بَلْ يَدِينُ لِلَّهِ بِهَا فَهَلْ عَلَيْهِ فِي تَرْكِ ذَلِكَ مَأْثَمٌ أَمْ لَا
Sometimes he is absent from his home for months, yet he neither engages in Mut‘ah nor feels any desire for it. He also thinks that doing so would lower his standing in the eyes of his companions, such as his brother, son, servant, agent, and household attendants. He prefers to maintain his current way of life out of love and affection for his wife and to protect both her and himself, not because he considers Mut‘ah unlawful, but indeed, he believes in it as a religion of Allah-azwj. Is he committing a sin by refraining from it or not?
فَخَرَجَ الْجَوَابُ يُسْتَحَبُّ لَهُ أَنْ يُطِيعَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بِالْمُتْعَةِ لِيَزُولَ عَنْهُ الْحِلْفُ فِي الْمَعْصِيَةِ وَ لَوْ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً.
The answer emerged: ‘It is recommended for him to obey Allah-azwj the Exalted with performing the temporary marriage in order to remove the oath regarding the disobedience away from him, and even if one time’’.[324]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws regarding Words of Allah-azwj: Whatever Mercy Allah Opens to the people, so there is none to withhold it [35], he-asws said: ‘And the temporary marriage is from that’’.[325]

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Isnad’ – Ibn Sa’ad. From Al Azdy who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the temporary marriage. He-asws said: ‘So whatever (Women) you enjoy with, give them their Obligatory recompense, and there is no blame upon you regarding what you make them agreeable with after the Obligatory (dower); [4:24]’.
قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع عَنْهَا أَ مِنَ الْأَرْبَعِ هِيَ فَقَالَ لَا.
And I asked Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws about it, ‘Is it from the four (maximum number of wives)?’ He-asws said: ‘No’’.[326]

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Isnaad’ – Ibn Sa’ad, from Al Azdy who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the temporary marriage. He-asws said: ‘I-asws dislike to exit from the world and there remains upon me a characteristic from characteristics of Rasool-Allah-saww I-asws did not fulfil’’.[327]

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Isnaad’ – Ibn Riab said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the temporary marriage. He-asws informed me it is Permissible, and informed me that a Dirham and whatever is above it suffices for it’’.[328]

(The book) ‘Al Khisal’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Hammad Bin Ya’la, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Zurara,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Amusement of the Momin is in three things – the enjoyment with the women, and pleasant conversation with the brethren, and the Salat at night’’.[329]
8- ل، الخصال فِي خَبَرِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: تَحْلِيلُ الْمُتْعَتَيْنِ وَاجِبٌ كَمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ سَنَّهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مُتْعَةِ الْحَجِّ وَ مُتْعَةِ النِّسَاءِ.
(The book) ‘Al Khisal’, in a Hadeeth of Al Amsh,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Permissibility of the two ‘Muta’s’ are obligatory just as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Revealed in His-azwj Book and practised by Rasool-Allah-saww – the Mut’ah of Hajj and Mut’ah of the women (temporary marriage)’’.[330]
9- ف، تحف العقول عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: يَجُوزُ مِنَ الْمَنَاكِحِ أَرْبَعَةُ وُجُوهٍ نِكَاحٌ بِمِيرَاثٍ وَ نِكَاحٌ بِغَيْرِ مِيرَاثٍ وَ نِكَاحُ الْيَمِينِ وَ نِكَاحٌ بِتَحْلِيلٍ مِنَ الْمُحَلِّلِ لَهُ مِنْ مِلْكِ مَنْ يَمْلِكُ.
(The book) ‘Tuhaf Al Uqoul’ –
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Four aspects of the marriage are allowed – marriage with inheritance, and marriage without inheritance, and marriage of the ownership (slave girls), and marriage by permission granted by the one owning (a slave girl) he owns’’.[331]
10- ضا، فقه الرضا عليه السلام اعْلَمْ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ أَنَّ وُجُوهَ النِّكَاحِ الَّذِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ بِهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَوْجُهٍ مِنْهَا نِكَاحُ مِيرَاثٍ وَ هُوَ بِوَلِيٍّ وَ شَاهِدَيْنِ وَ مَهْرٍ مَعْلُومٍ مَا يَقَعُ عَلَيْهِ التَّرَاضِي مِنْ قَلِيلٍ أَوْ كَثِيرٍ
(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza-asws’, may the greeting be upon him-asws – ‘Know, may Allah-azwj Mercy you, that the aspects of marriage which Allah-azwj Majestic and Mighty has Commanded with are four aspects. From these is marriage with inheritance. It requires a guardian, two witnesses, and a specified dowry, whether small or large, according to mutual agreement.
وَ إِنَّهُ احْتِيجَ إِلَى الشُّهُودِ وَ الْمُطْلَقُ مِنْ عَدَدِ النِّسْوَةِ فِي هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنَ النِّكَاحِ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِمَنْ لَهُ أَرْبَعُ نِسْوَةٍ إِذَا عَزَمَ عَلَى التَّزْوِيجِ إِلَّا بِطَلَاقِ إِحْدَى الْأَرْبَعِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّةُ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ مِنْهُنَّ وَ تَحِلَّ لِغَيْرِهِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ لِأَنَّهَا مَا لَمْ تَحِلَّ لِلرِّجَالِ فِي حِبَالَتِهِ
The presence of witnesses is necessary, and the unrestricted number of wives permitted in this type of marriage is four. It is not lawful for a man who already has four wives to marry another unless he first divorces one of the four, and he may not marry until the waiting period of the wife he divorces has ended and she becomes lawful for another man, because as long as she has not become lawful for other men, she remains bound to him.
وَ الْوَجْهُ الثَّانِي نِكَاحٌ بِغَيْرِ شُهُودٍ وَ لَا مِيرَاثٍ وَ هِيَ نِكَاحُ الْمُتْعَةِ بِشُرُوطِهَا وَ هِيَ أَنْ تُسْأَلَ الْمَرْأَةُ فَارِغَةٌ هِيَ أَمْ مَشْغُولَةٌ بِزَوْجٍ أَوْ بِعِدَّةٍ أَوْ بِحَمْلٍ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ خَالِيَةً مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَهَا تُمَتِّعُنِي نَفْسَكِ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِ ص نِكَاحاً غَيْرَ سِفَاحٍ كَذَا وَ كَذَا بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ بَيَّنَ الْمَهْرَ وَ الْأَجَلَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا تَرِثِينِي وَ لَا أَرِثَكِ وَ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمَاءَ أَضَعُهُ حَيْثُ أَشَاءُ وَ عَلَى أَنَّ الْأَجَلَ إِذَا انْقَضَى كَانَ عَلَيْكِ عِدَّةُ خَمْسَةٍ وَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً
The second type is marriage without witnesses and without inheritance, which is the temporary marriage (mutaʿh) with its conditions. The woman is asked whether she is free of a husband, a waiting period (Idda), or pregnancy. If she is free of these, the man says to her: ‘I seek to enjoy myself with you according to the Book of Allah-azwj and the Sunnah of His-azwj Prophet-saww, as a marriage and not fornication, for such and such a period, for such and such an amount’, specifying the dowry and the term, on the condition that neither of them inherits from the other, that the man may place his semen where he wishes, and that when the term ends, the woman must observe a waiting period of forty-five days.
فَإِذَا أَنْعَمَتْ قُلْتَ لَهَا قَدْ مَتَّعْتِنِي نَفْسَكِ وَ تُعِيدُ جَمِيعَ الشَّرَائِطِ عَلَيْهَا لِأَنَّ الْقَوْلَ الْأَوَّلَ خِطْبَةٌ وَ كُلَّ شَرْطٍ قَبْلَ النِّكَاحِ فَاسِدٌ وَ إِنَّمَا يَنْعَقِدُ الْأَمْرُ بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّانِي فَإِذَا قَالَتْ فِي الثَّانِي نَعَمْ دُفِعَ إِلَيْهَا الْمَهْرُ أَوْ مَا حَضَرَ مِنْهُ وَ كَانَ مَا يَبْقَى دَيْناً عَلَيْكَ وَ قَدْ حَلَّ لَكَ حِينَئِذٍ وَطْؤُهَا
When she agrees, he says to her: ‘“’You have granted me enjoyment of yourself’, and he repeats all the conditions upon her, because the first statement is only a proposal, and every condition before the marriage contract is invalid. The matter is only concluded with the second statement. When she says ‘yes’ in response to the second statement, the dowry, or whatever portion of it is immediately available, is given to her, and the rest becomes a debt upon you. From that moment, intimate relations with her is lawful for you’.
وَ رُوِيَ لَا تَمَتَّعْ بِلِصَّةٍ وَ لَا مَشْهُورَةٍ بِالْفُجُورِ وَ ادْعُ الْمَرْأَةَ قَبْلَ الْمُتْعَةِ إِلَى مَا لَا يَحِلُّ فَإِنْ أَجَابَتْ فَلَا تَمَتَّعْ بِهَا
Do not contract a temporary marriage with a thief or a woman known for debauchery, and invite the woman before the temporary marriage to something unlawful. If she agrees to it, then do not engage in temporary marriage with her’.
وَ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً رُخْصَةً فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ أَنَّهُ إِذَا جَاءَ بِالْأَجْرِ وَ الْأَجَلِ جَازَ لَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهَا وَ لَا يَمْتَحِنُهَا فَلَا شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْهُ عِدَّةٌ إِذَا عَزَمَ عَلَى أَنْ يَزِيدَ فِي الْمُدَّةِ وَ الْأَجَلِ وَ الْمَهْرِ وَ إِنَّمَا الْعِدَّةُ عَلَيْهَا لِغَيْرِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَهَبُ لَهَا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ أَجَلِهِ عَلَيْهَا
It is also reported as a concession in this matter that if he specifies the payment and the term, it is permissible for him even if he does not ask her or test her, and there is no obligation upon him. There is no waiting period (Idda) required from her for him if he intends to extend the term and the payment, and the waiting period is only required of her for someone else, except that he grants to her what remains of his term with her.
وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ فَمَا اسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهِ مِنْهُنَّ فَآتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً وَ لا جُناحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيما تَراضَيْتُمْ بِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَ هُوَ زِيَادَةٌ فِي الْمَهْرِ وَ الْأَجَلِ وَ سَبِيلُ الْمُتْعَةِ سَبِيلُ الْإِمَاءِ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَمَتَّعَ مِنْهُنَّ بِمَا شَاءَ وَ أَرَادَ
And it is Word: So whatever (Women) you enjoy with, give them their Obligatory recompense, and there is no blame upon you regarding what you make them agreeable with after the Obligatory (dower); surely Allah was always most-Knowing, Wise [4:24], and it is an increase in the dower and the term, and the way of temporary marriage is the way of the slave girl of his, that he can enjoy with them with whatever he so desires and wants.
وَ الْوَجْهُ الثَّالِثُ نِكَاحُ مِلْكِ الْيَمِينِ وَ هُوَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَ الرَّجُلُ الْأَمَةَ فَحَلَالٌ لَهُ نِكَاحُهَا إِذَا كَانَتْ مُسْتَبْرَأَةً وَ الِاسْتِبْرَاءُ حَيْضَةٌ وَ هُوَ عَلَى الْبَائِعِ فَإِنْ كَانَ الْبَائِعُ ثِقَةً وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ اسْتَبْرَأَهَا جَازَ نِكَاحُهَا مِنْ وَقْتِهَا وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ثِقَةً اسْتَبْرَأَهَا الْمُشْتَرِي بِحَيْضَةٍ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ بِكْراً أَوْ لِامْرَأَةٍ أَوْ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ حَدَّ الْإِدْرَاكِ اسْتَغْنَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ
The third aspect is marriage through ownership by right hand (concubinage), which is when a man purchases a female slave, and it is lawful for him to have relations with her if she has been cleared of pregnancy. The clearing (Istibra) is a single menstrual cycle, and this is required of the seller. If the seller is trustworthy and states that he has cleared her, then it is permissible to have relations with her immediately. If he is not trustworthy, the buyer must ensure she undergoes one menstrual cycle. If she is a virgin, a woman, or one who has not reached maturity, this requirement is unnecessary.
وَ الْوَجْهُ الرَّابِعُ نِكَاحُ التَّحْلِيلِ الْمُحِلِّ وَ هُوَ أَنْ يُحِلَّ الرَّجُلُ وَ الْمَرْأَةُ فَرْجَ الْجَارِيَةِ مُدَّةً مَعْلُومَةً فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لِرَجُلٍ فَعَلَيْهِ قَبْلَ تَحْلِيلِهَا أَنْ يَسْتَبْرِئَهَا بِحَيْضَةٍ وَ يَسْتَبْرِئَهَا بَعْدَ أَنْ يَنْقَضِيَ أَيَّامُ التَّحْلِيلِ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ لِمَرْأَةٍ اسْتَغْنَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ.
The fourth type is the marriage of permissive transfer (Tahlil), which is when a man or a woman makes the private parts of a female slave permissible for a known period. If she belongs to a man, then before this permissive arrangement, he must clear her with one menstrual cycle, and he must also clear her after the period of permissive transfer ends. If she belongs to a woman, there is no need for this requirement’’.[332]
11- قَالَ الْمُفَضَّلُ لِلصَّادِقِ ع يَا مَوْلَايَ فَالْمُتْعَةُ
Al-Mufazzal said to Al-Sadiq-asws, ‘O my master! (What about) the Mut’a (temporary marriage)?’
قَالَ الْمُتْعَةُ حَلَالٌ طِلْقٌ وَ الشَّاهِدُ بِهَا قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ لا جُناحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيما عَرَّضْتُمْ بِهِ مِنْ خِطْبَةِ النِّساءِ أَوْ أَكْنَنْتُمْ … عَلِمَ اللَّهُ أَنَّكُمْ سَتَذْكُرُونَهُنَّ وَ لكِنْ لا تُواعِدُوهُنَّ سِرًّا إِلَّا أَنْ تَقُولُوا قَوْلًا مَعْرُوفاً أَيْ مَشْهُوداً وَ الْقَوْلُ الْمَعْرُوفُ هُوَ الْمُشْتَهَرُ بِالْوَلِيِّ وَ الشُّهُودِ
He-asws said: ‘And there is no blame upon you regarding what you display with from addressing the women or you conceal within yourselves; Allah Knows you would be mentioning to them, but do not promise them in secret unless if you are saying reasonable words [2:235] – i.e. witnessed, and the ‘reasonable words’, it is the well-known (words), it is what is well-known with the guardian and the witnesses.
وَ إِنَّمَا احْتِيجَ إِلَى الْوَلِيِّ وَ الشُّهُودِ فِي النِّكَاحِ لِيَثْبُتَ النَّسْلُ وَ يُسْتَحَقَّ الْمِيرَاثُ وَ قَوْلُهُ وَ آتُوا النِّساءَ صَدُقاتِهِنَّ نِحْلَةً فَإِنْ طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ نَفْساً فَكُلُوهُ هَنِيئاً مَرِيئاً
And rather it is a requirement of the guardian and the witnesses in the marriage in order to affirm the lineage and deserve the inheritance, and His-azwj Words: And give women their dowries as a gift, but if they remit for you something from it themselves, then consume it enjoying wholesomely [4:4].
وَ جَعَلَ الطَّلَاقَ فِي النِّسَاءِ الْمُزَوَّجَاتِ غَيْرَ جَائِزٍ إِلَّا بِشَاهِدَيْنِ ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ قَالَ فِي سَائِرِ الشَّهَادَاتِ عَلَى الدِّمَاءِ وَ الْفُرُوجِ وَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَ الْأَمْلَاكِ وَ اسْتَشْهِدُوا شَهِيدَيْنِ مِنْ رِجالِكُمْ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُونا رَجُلَيْنِ فَرَجُلٌ وَ امْرَأَتانِ مِمَّنْ تَرْضَوْنَ مِنَ الشُّهَداءِ
He made divorce among married women not permissible except with two just witnesses from among the Muslims, and he said the same regarding all other testimonies concerning blood, private parts, wealth, and property, And two witnesses should be bearing witness, from your men. But if there does not happen to be two men, then a man and two women from the ones you are agreeing with from the witnesses [2:282].
وَ بَيَّنَ الطَّلَاقَ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ فَقَالَ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّساءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَ أَحْصُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ
And He-azwj, Mighty is His-azwj Mention, Explained the divorce. He-azwj Said: O you, the Prophet! (Say): ‘When you divorce the women, then divorce them to their waiting period, and calculate the waiting period, and fear Allah your Lord! [65:1].
وَ لَوْ كَانَتِ الْمُطَلَّقَةُ تَبِينُ بِثَلَاثِ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ تَجْمَعُهَا كَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهَا أَوْ أَقَلَّ لَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ أَحْصُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُ لا تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ أَمْراً
And if the divorced woman were to become irrevocably separated by three divorces combined in a single statement, or in more than one statement, or in fewer than that due to what Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: and calculate the waiting period, and fear Allah your Lord! [65:1] – up to His-azwj Words: these are the Limits of Allah, and one who exceeds the Limits of Allah, so he has been unjust to himself. You don’t know, perhaps Allah would Bring about a new Command after that’ [65:1].
فَإِذا بَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ فارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَ أَشْهِدُوا ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ وَ أَقِيمُوا الشَّهادَةَ لِلَّهِ ذلِكُمْ يُوعَظُ بِهِ مَنْ كانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ قَوْلِهِ لا تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ أَمْراً
So when they do reach their term, then either withhold them with kindness or separate them with kindness, and two just ones from you should bear witness, and they should establish the testimony for the Sake of Allah. That is (what) the ones who believed in Allah and the Last Day is Advised with [65:2], and His-azwj Words: You don’t know, perhaps Allah would Bring about a new Command after that’ [65:1].
هُوَ نُكْرٌ يَقَعُ بَيْنَ الزَّوْجِ وَ زَوْجَتِهِ فَيُطَلِّقُ التَّطْلِيقَةَ الْأُولَى بِشَهَادَةِ ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ وَ حَدُّ وَقْتِ التَّطْلِيقِ هُوَ آخِرُ الْقُرُوءِ وَ الْقُرْءُ هُوَ الْحَيْضُ وَ الطَّلَاقُ يَجِبُ عِنْدَ آخِرِ نُقْطَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ تَنْزِلُ بَعْدَ الصُّفْرَةِ وَ الْحُمْرَةِ وَ إِلَى التَّطْلِيقَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَ الثَّالِثَةِ مَا يُحْدِثُ اللَّهُ بَيْنَهُمَا عَطْفاً أَوْ زَوَالِ مَا كَرِهَاهُ
It is an estrangement that occurs between a husband and his wife, so he pronounces the first divorce in the presence of two just witnesses. The proper time for divorce is at the end of the menstrual cycles, and a ‘Qur’ is menstruation. Divorce must take place at the very last white discharge that appears after the yellow and red discharges. Between the first, second, and third divorces, whatever affection Allah-azwj Creates between them or whatever dislike He-azwj Removes, may take place.
وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ وَ الْمُطَلَّقاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِنَّ ثَلاثَةَ قُرُوءٍ وَ لا يَحِلُّ لَهُنَّ أَنْ يَكْتُمْنَ ما خَلَقَ اللَّهُ فِي أَرْحامِهِنَّ إِنْ كُنَّ يُؤْمِنَّ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ بُعُولَتُهُنَّ أَحَقُّ بِرَدِّهِنَّ فِي ذلِكَ إِنْ أَرادُوا إِصْلاحاً وَ لَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ لِلرِّجالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ وَ اللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
And it is His-azwj Word: And the divorced women should keep themselves in waiting for three menses-free periods; and it is not Permissible for them that they should conceal what Allah has Created in their wombs, if they were believers in Allah and the Last Day; and their husbands are more rightful with their return regarding that if they are intending reconciliation; and for them is the like of that which is upon them with the reasonableness; and for the men is a degree upon them; and Allah is Mighty, Wise [2:228].
هَذَا يَقُولُهُ فِي أَنَّ لِلْبُعُولَةِ مُرَاجَعَةَ النِّسَاءِ مِنْ تَطْلِيقَةٍ إِلَى تَطْلِيقَةٍ إِنْ أَرَادُوا إِصْلَاحاً وَ لِلنِّسَاءِ مُرَاجَعَةَ الرِّجَالِ فِي مِثْلِ ذَلِكَثُمَّ بَيَّنَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ الطَّلاقُ مَرَّتانِ فَإِمْساكٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٌ بِإِحْسانٍ
This refers to the fact that husbands have the right to take back their wives between one divorce and another if they desire reconciliation, and wives likewise have the right to return to their husbands in cases similar to that. Then the Blessed and Exalted Explained. He-azwj Said: The divorce is twice, then either keep them with reasonableness or release with the goodness [2:229].
وَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ فَإِنْ طَلَّقَ الثَّالِثَةَ وَ بَانَتْ فَهُوَ قَوْلُهُ فَإِنْ طَلَّقَها فَلا تَحِلُّ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدُ حَتَّى تَنْكِحَ زَوْجاً غَيْرَهُثُمَّ يَكُونُ كَسَائِرِ الْخُطَّابِ لَهَا
And regarding the third, if he pronounces the third divorce, she is irrevocably divorced. It is His-azwj Word: So if he divorces her (for a third time), she would not be lawful to him afterwards until she marries another husband [2:230]. Then he would become like rest of the proposers to her.
وَ الْمُتْعَةُ الَّتِي أَحَلَّهَا اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ أَطْلَقَهَا الرَّسُولُ ص عَنِ اللَّهِ لِسَائِرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَهِيَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ الْمُحْصَناتُ مِنَ النِّساءِ إِلَّا ما مَلَكَتْ أَيْمانُكُمْ كِتابَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ ما وَراءَ ذلِكُمْ أَنْ تَبْتَغُوا بِأَمْوالِكُمْ مُحْصِنِينَ غَيْرَ مُسافِحِينَ فَمَا اسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهِ مِنْهُنَّ فَآتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً وَ لا جُناحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيما تَراضَيْتُمْ بِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْفَرِيضَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَلِيماً حَكِيماً
And the temporary marriage which Allah-azwj has Legalised in His-azwj Book and the Rasool-saww allowed for rest of the Muslims, it is His-azwj Word, Mighty and Majestic: And (Prohibited are) the married ones from the women except what your right hands possess, being an Ordinance of Allah upon you all; and Permissible to you are what is behind that, of you are seeking with your wealth, for marriage not for fornication. So whatever (Women) you enjoy with, give them their Obligatory recompense, and there is no blame upon you regarding what you make them agreeable with after the Obligatory (dower); surely Allah was always most-Knowing, Wise [4:24].
وَ الْفَرْقُ بَيْنَ الْمُزَوَّجَةِ وَ الْمُتْعَةِ أَنَّ لِلزَّوْجَةِ صَدَاقاً وَ لِلْمُتْعَةِ أُجْرَةً فَتَمَتَّعَ سَائِرُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْحَجِّ وَ غَيْرِهِ وَ أَيَّامِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَ أَرْبَعِ سِنِينَ فِي أَيَّامِ عُمَرَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى أُخْتِهِ عَفْرَاءَ فَوَجَدَ فِي حَجْرِهَا طِفْلًا يَرْضَعُ مِنْ ثَدْيِهَا فَنَظَرَ إِلَى دِرَّةِ اللَّبَنِ فِي فَمِ الطِّفْلِ فَأُغْضِبَ وَ أُرْعِدَ وَ أزبد [ارْبَدَّ] وَ أَخَذَ الطِّفْلَ مِنْ يَدِهَا وَ خَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ وَ رَقِيَ الْمِنْبَرَ
The difference between a permanent) marriage and a temporary marriage (mutʿa) is that a married woman has a dowry, whereas in mutʿa there is a recompense. The rest of the Muslims engaged in mut’ah according to the Sunnah of the Rasool-saww during Hajj and elsewhere, and during the days of Abu Bakr and for four years in the days of Umar, until he entered upon his sister Afra and found in her lap a child nursing from her breast. He looked at the milk in the child’s mouth, became angry and furious, foamed with rage, and took the child from her hand, and he went out to the Masjid and ascended the pulpit.
قَالَ نَادُوا فِي النَّاسِ أَنِ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً وَ كَانَ غَيْرُ وَقْتِ صَلَاةٍ فَعَلِمَ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ لِأَمْرٍ يُرِيدُهُ عُمَرُ فَحَضَرُوا
He said, ‘Call out for the congregational Salat!’, and it was not a time of Salat. The people knew that it is a matter Umar intended, so they presented.
فَقَالَ مَعَاشِرَ النَّاسِ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَ أَوْلَادِ قَحْطَانَ مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرَى الْمُحَرَّمَاتِ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ وَ لَهَا مِثْلُ هَذَا الطِّفْلِ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْ أَحْشَائِهَا وَ هُوَ يَرْضِعُ عَلَى ثَدْيِهَا وَ هِيَ غَيْرُ مُتَبَعِّلَةٍ
He said, ‘Community of people from the Emigrants and the Helpers, and children of Qahtan! Who from you likes to see the women forbidden unto him, and for her would be the child like this having emerged from her womb and is being breast-fed on her breasts, and she is not married?’
فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ مَا نُحِبُّ هَذَا
Some of the people said, ‘This is not liked!’
فَقَالَ أَ لَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ أُخْتِي عَفْرَاءَ بِنْتَ حَنْتَمَةَ أُمِّي وَ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ غَيْرُ مُتَبَعِّلَةٍ
He said, ‘Don’t you know that my sister is daughter of my mother Hantama and my father Abu Al-Khattab is not married?’
قَالُوا بَلَى
They said, ‘Yes!’
قَالَ فَإِنِّي دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ فَوَجَدْتُ هَذَا الطِّفْلَ فِي حَجْرِهَا فَنَاشَدْتُهَا أَنَّى لَكِ هَذَا فَقَالَتْ تَمَتَّعْتُفَأَعْلِمُوا سَائِرَ النَّاسِ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْمُتْعَةَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ حَلَالًا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ رَأَيْتُ تَحْرِيمَهَا فَمَنْ أَبَى ضَرَبْتُ جَنْبَيْهِ بِالسَّوْطِ
He said, ‘I entered to see her in this very time and I found this child in her lap, so I adjured her, ‘From where is this for you?’ She said, ‘I had contracted temporary marriage!’ So let rest of the people known that this temporary marriage which was Permissible for the Muslims in the era of Rasool-Allah-saww, I have viewed it as prohibited. The one who refuses, I will strike his side with the whip!’
فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الْقَوْمِ مُنْكِرٌ قَوْلَهُ وَ لَا رَادٌّ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا قَائِلٌ لَا يَأْتِي رَسُولٌ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَوْ كِتَابٌ بَعْدَ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ لَا نَقْبَلُ خِلَافَكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَ كِتَابِهِ بَلْ سَلَّمُوا وَ رَضُوا
There did not happen to be any denier of his words among the people nor a rebutter to him, nor a speaker that no Rasool-saww is to come after Rasool-Allah-saww, or a Book after the Book of Allah-azwj and we shall not accept you opposing against Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww and His-azwj Book. But, they submitted and were pleased’.
قَالَ الْمُفَضَّلُ يَا مَوْلَايَ فَمَا شَرَائِطُ الْمُتْعَةِ
Al-Mufazzal said, ‘O my master! What are the conditions of the temporary marriage?’
قَالَ يَا مُفَضَّلُ لَهَا سَبْعُونَ شَرْطاً مَنْ خَالَفَ مِنْهَا شَرْطاً وَاحِداً ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُ
He-asws said: ‘O Mufazzal, there are seventy conditions for it! One who opposes one condition from it has been unjust to himself (sinned)’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي قَدْ أَمَرْتُمُونَا أَنْ لَا نَتَمَتَّعَ بِبَغِيَّةٍ وَ لَا مَشْهُورَةٍ بِفَسَادٍ وَ لَا مَجْنُونَةٍ وَ أَنْ نَدْعُوَ الْمُتْعَةَ إِلَى الْفَاحِشَةِ فَإِنْ أَجَابَتْ فَقَدْ حَرُمَ الِاسْتِمْتَاعُ بِهَا وَ أَنْ تُسْأَلَ أَ فَارِغَةٌ أَمْ مَشْغُولَةٌ بِبَعْلٍ أَوْ حَمْلٍ أَوْ بِعِدَّةٍ
He (Mufazzal) said, ‘I said, ‘O my chief! You-asws have instructed us not to contract temporary marriage with a prostitute, nor with one openly known for corruption, nor with an insane woman, and that we should invite the woman to chastity; if she responds, then it is forbidden to derive pleasure from her, and she should be asked whether she is free of obligations or occupied with a husband, pregnancy, or in a waiting period.
فَإِنْ شُغِلَتْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ مِنَ الثَّلَاثِ فَلَا تَحِلُّ وَ إِنْ خَلَتْ فَيَقُولُ لَهَا مَتِّعْنِي نَفْسَكِ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِ ص نِكَاحاً غَيْرَ سِفَاحٍ أَجَلًا مَعْلُوماً بِأُجْرَةٍ مَعْلُومَةٍ وَ هِيَ سَاعَةٌ أَوْ يَوْمٌ أَوْ يَوْمَانِ أَوْ شَهْرٌ أَوْ سَنَةٌ أَوْ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ
If she is occupied with one of these three, then she is not lawful. But if she is free of them, he should say to her, ‘Give yourself to me in temporary marriage according to the Book of Allah-azwj the Mighty and Majestic, and the Sunnah of His-azwj Prophet-saww, as a marriage and not fornication, for a specified term with a known payment’, whether it be an hour, or a day, or two days, or a month, or a year, or less than that, or more.
وَ الْأُجْرَةُ مَا تَرَاضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حَلْقَةِ خَاتَمٍ أَوْ شِسْعِ نَعْلٍ أَوْ شِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ إِلَى فَوْقِ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الدَّرَاهِمِ وَ الدَّنَانِيرِ أَوْ عَرَضٍ تَرْضَى بِهِ فَإِنْ وَهَبَتْ لَهُ حَلَّ لَهُ كَالصَّدَاقِ الْمَوْهُوبِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ الْمُزَوَّجَاتِ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُنَ فَإِنْ طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ نَفْساً فَكُلُوهُ هَنِيئاً مَرِيئاً
The payment is whatever we mutually agreed upon, whether it be a ring, or a sandal strap, or half a date, up to any amount of silver, gold, or goods that please her. If she gives it to him as a gift, it is lawful for him, just as the dowry given as a gift is lawful from married women, about whom Allah the Exalted has said: And give women their dowries as a gift, but if they remit for you something from it themselves, then consume it enjoying wholesomely [4:4].
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَهَا عَلَى أَلَّا تَرِثِينِي وَ لَا أَرِثَكِ وَ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمَاءَ لِي أَضَعُهُ مِنْكِ حَيْثُ أَشَاءُ وَ عَلَيْكِ الِاسْتِبْرَاءُ خَمْسَةً وَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً أَوْ مَحِيضاً وَاحِداً فَإِذَا قَالَتْ نَعَمْ أَعَدْتَ الْقَوْلَ ثَانِيَةً وَ عَقَدْتَ النِّكَاحَ فَإِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَ أَحَبَّتْ هِيَ الِاسْتِزَادَةَ فِي الْأَجَلِ زِدْتُمَا وَ فِيهِ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ تَفْعَلُ فَعَلَيْهَا مَا تَوَلَّتْ مِنَ الْإِخْبَارِ عَنْ نَفْسِهَا وَ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَ
Then he should say to her, ‘You shall not inherit from me, nor shall I inherit from you, and the fluid is mine’, I place it where I wish, and you must observe a waiting period of forty-five days or one menstrual cycle’. When she says ‘yes’, you repeat the statement a second time and conclude the contract of marriage. If you wish and she also wishes to extend the term, you may extend it. In this, is what we have narrated. If she complies, then she is responsible for truthfully informing about her own condition, and there is no blame on you.
وَ قَوْلُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لَعَنَ اللَّهُ ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَلَوْلَاهُ مَا زَنَى إِلَّا شَقِيٌّ أَوْ شَقِيَّةٌ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَكُونُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ غَنَاءٌ فِي الْمُتْعَةِ عَنِ الزِّنَا
And the words of Amir Al-Momineen-asws: ‘May Allah-azwj Curse the son of Al-Khattab! Had it not been for him, nor one would have committed adultery except a wretched man or a wretched woman, because in the Mut’ah there would have been a needlessness for the Muslims from committing the adultery!’
ثُمَّ تَلَا وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُعْجِبُكَ قَوْلُهُ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ يُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ عَلى ما فِي قَلْبِهِ وَ هُوَ أَلَدُّ الْخِصامِ وَ إِذا تَوَلَّى سَعى فِي الْأَرْضِ لِيُفْسِدَ فِيها وَ يُهْلِكَ الْحَرْثَ وَ النَّسْلَ وَ اللَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الْفَسادَ
Then he-asws recited: And from the people there is one who astounds you with his speech regarding the life of the world, and he testifies to Allah upon what is in his heart, but he is the bitterest of the adversaries [2:204] And when he turns around, he runs along in the land to cause mischief therein and destroy the farm and the lineage; and Allah does not love the mischief [2:205]’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ مَنْ عَزَلَ بِنُطْفَتِهِ عَنْ زَوْجَتِهِ فَدِيَةُ النُّطْفَةِ عَشَرَةُ دَنَانِيرَ كَفَّارَةً وَ إِنَّ مِنْ شَرْطِ الْمُتْعَةِ أَنَّ مَاءَ الرَّجُلِ يَضَعُهُ حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ مِنَ الْمُتَمَتَّعِ بِهَا فَإِذَا وَضَعَهُ فِي الرَّحِمِ فَخُلِقَ مِنْهُ وَلَدٌ كَانَ لَاحِقاً بِأَبِيهِ.
Then he-asws said: ‘Then he said: ‘Whoever withdraws his seed from his wife must pay a compensation for the semen of ten Dinars as expiation. And among the conditions of temporary marriage is that the man may place his seed wherever he wishes with the woman he enjoys in Mut’ah. If he places it in the womb and a child is created from it, the child is attributed to his father’’.[333]
12- تَفْسِيرُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، بِرِوَايَةِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ قُولَوَيْهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: قَرَأَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَمَا اسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهِ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمّىً فَآتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ.
Tafseer of Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, by a report of Ja’far Bin Qawlawiya, by his chain, said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws both read (the Verse as): So whatever (Women) you enjoy with up to a specified term, give them their Obligatory recompense [4:24]’’.[334]
13- رِسَالَةُ الْمُتْعَةِ، لِلشَّيْخِ الْمُفِيدِ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ عَنْ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قُولَوَيْهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ الْمُتْعَةَ وَ مَا أُحِبُّ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَتَزَوَّجَ الْمُتْعَةَ وَ لَوْ مَرَّةً.
(The book) ‘Risalat Al Mut’ah’ of the sheykh Al Mufeed, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul – from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Qawlawiya, from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim,
‘It is recommended for the man that he should contract temporary marriage, and I-asws do not like it for the man that he exits from the world until he contracts temporary marriage, and even if only once’’.[335]
14 وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى الْمَذْكُورِ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع حَيْثُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْمُتْعَةِ فَقَالَ أَكْرَهُ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ قَدْ بَقِيَتْ خَلَّةٌ مِنْ خِلَالِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَمْ تُقْضَ.
And by this chain, from Ibn Isa Al Mazkour, from Bakr Bin Muhammad,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws whereby he-asws was asked about the Mut’ah. He-asws said: ‘I-asws dislike it for the man that he exits from the world and there remains a characteristic from characteristics of Rasool-Allah-saww unaccomplished’’.[336]
15 وَ بِالْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِي تَمَتَّعْتَ
And by the chain, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Al Hajjaj, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said to me: ‘Have you contracted temporary marriage?’
قُلْتُ لَا
I said, ‘No’.
قَالَ لَا تَخْرُجْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى تُحْيِيَ السُّنَّةَ.

قَالَ إِذَا كَانَتْ مَشْهُورَةً بِالزِّنَا فَلَا يَتَمَتَّعْ بِهَا وَ لَا يَنْكِحْهَا.
He-asws said: ‘When she was well-known with the adultery, he should not contract Mut’ah with her nor marry her’’.[363]
41- وَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي الْمَرْأَةِ تُزْنَى عَلَيْهَا أَ يُتَمَتَّعُ بِهَا
And from Al-Hassan Bin Jareer who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws regarding the woman having accusation of adultery upon her, ‘Can one contract Mut’ah with her?’
قَالَ أَ رَأَيْتَ ذَلِكَ
He-asws said: ‘Have you seen (witnessed) that?’
قُلْتُ لَا وَ لَكِنَّهَا تُرْمَى بِهِ
He said, ‘No, but she has been slandered with it’.
قَالَ نَعَمْ يُتَمَتَّعُ بِهَا عَلَى أَنَّكَ تُغَادِرُ وَ تُغْلِقُ بَابَكَ.
He-asws said: ‘Yes, one can contract Mut’ah with her based upon that you depart and lock your door’’.[364]
42 وَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَيْضاً عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع فِي المَرْأَةِ الْفَاجِرَةِ هَلْ يَحِلُّ تَزْوِيجُهَا
And from Al-Hassan as well,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws regarding the immoral woman, ‘Is it Permissible to marry her?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا هُوَ اجْتَنَبَهَا حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا بِاسْتِبْرَاءِ رَحِمِهَا مِنْ مَاءِ الْفُجُورِ فَلَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا بَعْدَ أَنْ يَقِفَ عَلَى تَوْبَتِهَا.
He-asws said: ‘Yes, when he keeps away from her until she fulfils her waiting period by freeing her womb from the water of immorality. For him is to marry her after he stands upon her repentance’’.[365]
43- وَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: مَنْ شُهِرَ بِالزِّنَا أَوْ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهِ حَدٌّ فَلَا تَزَوَّجْهُ.
And from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
‘From Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws having said: ‘One who is well-known with the adultery or a legal penalty has been established upon, do not marry to him’’.[366]
44- وَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الرَّجُلُ يَتَزَوَّجُ مُتْعَةً إِلَى شَهْرٍ فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَزِيدَهَا فِي أَجْرِهَا وَ يَزْدَادَ فِي الْأَيَّامِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ أَيَّامُهُ
And from Aban Bin Taghlib who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘The man marries in Mut’ah up to a month. Is it allowed for him to increase in her recompense and increase in the days before the expiry of his days?’
فَقَالَ لَا يَجُوزُ شَرْطَانِ فِي شَرْطٍ
He-asws said: ‘Two conditions are not allowed in on condition’.
قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ
I said, ‘And how should he do so?’
قَالَ يَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهَا بِمَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ ثُمَّ يَسْتَأْنِفُ شَرْطاً جَدِيداً.
He-asws said: ‘He should donate upon her with whatever remains from the days, then resume with a new condition’’.[367]
45- وَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: أَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ شَهْراً فَتُرِيدُ مِنِّي الْمَهْرَ كَامِلًا وَ أَتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ تُخْلِفَنِي
And from Umar Bin Hanzala,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘I marry (in Mut’ah) a woman for a month, so she wants the full dowry from me, and I fear that she might break (her contract) with me’.
قَالَ احْبِسْ مَا قَدَرْتَ فَإِنْ هِيَ أَخْلَفَتْكَ فَخُذْ مِنْهَا بِقَدْرِ مَا تُخْلِفُكَ.
He-asws said: ‘Withhold whatever you are able, so if she does break, take from her in accordance to what she has broken (not fulfilled)’’.[368]
46- عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَا تُدْخِلْ فَرْجَكَ فِي فَرْجِي وَ تَلَذَّذْ بِمَا شِئْتَ
From Sama’at,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws (regarding) a man, until he said, ‘The woman says to him, ‘You will not enter your private part into my private part, and you can derive pleasure with whatever you desire’.
قَالَ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا مَا شَرَطَ.
He-asws said: ‘It isn’t for him from her except what has been stipulated’’.[369]
47- وَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فِي رَجُلٍ تَكُونُ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ امْرَأَةٌ تَخْدُمُهُ فَيَكْرَهُ النَّظَرَ إِلَيْهَا فَيَتَمَتَّعُ بِهَا وَ الشَّرْطُ أَنْ لَا يَفْتَضَّهَا
And from Isa Bin Yazeed who said,
‘I wrote to Abu Ja’far-asws regarding a man, a woman happens to be in his house serving him. He dislikes looking at her, so can he contract Mut’ah with her and stipulate that he will not deflower her?
فَكَتَبَ لَا بَأْسَ بِالشَّرْطِ إِذَا كَانَتْ مُتْعَةً.
He-asws wrote: ‘There is no problem with the condition when it was Mut’ah’’.[370]
48- وَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَتَمَتَّعَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى حُكْمِهِ وَ لَكِنْ لَا بُدَّ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا شَيْئاً لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ حَدَثَ بِهَا حَدَثٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مِيرَاثٌ.
And from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of his companions,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘There is no problem if he were to contract Mut’ah with the woman upon its ruling, but there is no escape for him to give her something, because if a child were to occur with her, there would be no inheritance for him’’.[371]
49- وَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي الْمَرْأَةِ الْحَسْنَاءِ تُرَى فِي الطَّرِيقِ وَ لَا يُعْرَفُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ذَاتَ بَعْلٍ أَوْ عَاهِرَةً فَقَالَ لَيْسَ هَذَا عَلَيْكَ إِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُصَدِّقَهَا فِي نَفْسِهَا.
And from Aban Bin Taghlib,
From Abu Abdullah-asws regarding the beautiful woman you see in the street and it is not known whether she is with a husband or a prostitute. He-asws said: ‘This isn’t upon you. But rather upon you is to ratify her regarding herself’’.[372]
50- وَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع عَنْ تَزْوِيجِ الْمُتْعَةِ وَ قُلْتُ أَتَّهِمُهَا بِأَنَّ لَهَا زَوْجاً يَحِلُّ لِيَ الدُّخُولُ بِهَا
And from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Ubeyd Al Ash’ary, from his father who said,
‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan-asws about the temporary marriage and said, ‘Can I accuse her that there is a husband for her allowing for me to having intimate relations with her?’
قَالَ ع أريتك [أَ رَأَيْتَكَ] إِنْ سَأَلْتَهَا الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى أَنْ لَيْسَ لَهَا زَوْجٌ تَقْدِرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ.
He-asws said: ‘I-asws have shown you that if you ask her for proof upon that there isn’t any husband for her, you are able upon that’’.[373]
51 وَ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ قَالَ: كَتَبَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع إِلَى بَعْضِ مَوَالِيهِ لَا تُلِحُّوا فِي الْمُتْعَةِ إِنَّمَا عَلَيْكُمْ إِقَامَةُ السُّنَّةِ وَ لَا تَشْتَغِلُوا بِهَا عَنْ فُرُشِكُمْ وَ حَلَائِلِكُمْ فَيَكْفُرْنَ وَ يَدَّعِينَ عَلَى الْآمِرِينَ لَكُمْ بِذَلِكَ وَ يَلْعَنُونَا.
And from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Shamoun who said,
‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws wrote to one of his-asws followers: ‘Do not persist on temporary marriage. Your duty is only to uphold the Sunnah, and do not let it distract you from your wives and lawful companions, lest they become ungrateful and accuse those who command you in this matter, and curse us-asws’’.[374]
52 وَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع فِي الْمُتْعَةِ قَالَ وَ مَا أَنْتَ وَ ذَاكَ قَدْ أَغْنَى اللَّهُ عَنْهَا
And from Ali Bin Yaqteen,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan-asws regarding the Mut’ah. He-asws said: ‘And what have you to do with that? Allah-azwj has Sufficed from it’.
قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَعْلَمَهَا
I said, ‘But rather I wanted to know it’.
قَالَ هِيَ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ع.
He-asws said: ‘It is in the book of Ali-asws’’.[375]
53 وَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ فِي الْمُتْعَةِ وَ نَحْوِهَا أَ مَا يَسْتَحِي أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُرَى فِي مَوْضِعِ الْعَوْرَةِ فَيَدْخُلَ بِذَلِكَ عَلَى صَالِحِ إِخْوَانِهِ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ.
And from Al-Fazl, he heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying regarding the Mut’ah and approximate to it: ‘Isn’t one of you embarrassed to be see in the private place so he enters with that to his righteous brethren and companions?’’[376] (recording error)
54 وَ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ هَبُوا لِيَ الْمُتْعَةَ فِي الْحَرَمَيْنِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّكُمْ تُكْثِرُونَ الدُّخُولَ عَلَيَّ فَلَا آمَنُ مِنْ أَنْ تُؤْخَذُوا فَيُقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ جَعْفَرٍ ع.
And from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from a number of our companions,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to his-asws companions: ‘Gift to me-asws (ignore) the Mut’ah in the two Sanctuaries, and that is because you are frequently entering to see me-asws, so there is no safety from your being seized and it be said, ‘They are from the companions of Ja’far-asws!’’[377]
قال جماعة من أصحابنا رضي الله عنهم العلة في نهي أبي عبد الله ع عنها في الحرمين أن أبان بن تغلب كان أحد رجال أبي عبد الله ع و المروي عنهم فتزوج امرأة بمكة و كان كثير المال فخدعته المرأة حتى أدخلته صندوقا لها ثم بعثت إلى الحمالين فحملوه إلى باب الصفا ثم قالوا يا أبان هذا باب الصفا و إنا نريد أن ننادي عليك هذا أبان بن تغلب أراد أن يفجر بامرأة فافتدى نفسه بعشرة آلاف درهم فبلغ ذلك أبا عبد الله ع فقال لهم وهبوها لي في الحرمين.
A group of our companions, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with them, said, ‘The reason for Abu Abdullah-asws, prohibition of temporary marriage in the two Sanctuaries was that Aban Bin Taghlib, was one of the men of Abu Abdullah-asws, and among those who narrated from them-asws, married a woman in Mecca. He was very wealthy, but the woman deceived him until she put him into box. Then she sent for the porters, who carried him to the Gate of Safa, saying, ‘O Aban, this is the Gate of Safa, and we wish to announce upon you, ‘Aban wanted to force the woman, so he redeemed himself with ten thousand Dirhams!’ When this reached Abu Abdullah-asws, he-asws said to them: Gift (Ignore) it in the two Sanctuaries’’.
55 وَ رَوَى أَصْحَابُنَا عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِإِسْمَاعِيلَ الْجُعْفِيِّ وَ عَمَّارٍ السَّابَاطِيِّ حَرَّمْتُ عَلَيْكُمَا الْمُتْعَةَ مِنْ قِبَلِي مَا دُمْتُمَا تَدْخُلَانِ عَلَيَّ وَ ذَلِكَ لِأَنِّي أَخَافُ [أَنْ] تُؤْخَذَا فَتُضْرَبَا وَ تُشْهَرَا فَيُقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ أَصْحَابُ جَعْفَرٍ.
And it is reported by our companions, from someone else,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said to Ismail Al-Jufy and Ammar Al-Sabaty: ‘The Mut’ah is prohibited unto both of you from me-asws for as long as you are both coming to see me-asws, and that is because I-asws fear that you might be seized and struck (whipped) and become well-known, so it would be said, ‘They are the companions of Ja’far-asws!’’[378]

قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ عَارِفَةً
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, and if she does not happen to be a knower?’
قَالَ فَاعْرِضْ عَلَيْهَا وَ قُلْ لَهَا فَإِنْ قَبِلَتْ فَتَزَوَّجْهَا وَ إِنْ أَبَتْ أَنْ تَرْضَى بِقَوْلِكَ فَدَعْهَا وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ الْكَوَاشِفَ وَ الدَّوَاعِيَ وَ الْبَغَايَا وَ ذَوَاتِ الْأَزْوَاجِ
He-asws said: ‘Present to her and say to her. If she accepts, marry her, and if she refuses to agree with your words, leave her; and beware of the exposing women, the inviters and the prostitutes, and those with husbands!’
فَقُلْتُ مَا الْكَوَاشِفُ
I said, ‘What are the ‘exposing women’?’
قَالَ اللَّوَاتِي يُكَاشِفْنَ وَ بُيُوتُهُنَّ مَعْلُومَةٌ وَ يُؤْتَيْنَ

I said, ‘The ones ‘with the husbands’?’
قَالَ الْمُطَلَّقَاتُ عَلَى غَيْرِ السُّنَّةِ.
He-asws said: ‘The ones not divorced upon the Sunnah’’.[379]

And I asked him-asws about a man having a woman under him (as temporary) wife. He wants to stay upon her and give her dowry. When can he do that with her, before expiry of the term or after it?’

‘Al-Himeyri wrote to Al-Qaim-ajfj asking him-ajfj about the man who marries a woman with something known up to a known time, and there still remains some time for him upon her, so he makes her to be in a release from what remains for him upon her, and she had menstruated before he made her to be in release from her days by three days. ‘Is it allowed for her to marry another man with something known up to a known time at her cleanliness from this menstruation, or another menstruation has to come to her?’
فَأَجَابَ تَسْتَقْبِلُ حَيْضَةً غَيْرَ تِلْكَ الْحَيْضَةِ لِأَنَّ أَقَلَّ تِلْكَ الْعِدَّةِ حَيْضَةٌ وَ طَهَارَةٌ تَامَّةٌ.
He-ajfj answered: ‘She has to receive a menstruation other than that menstruation because the least of that waiting period is a menstruation and complete purity’’.[390]

فَلَقِيتُهُ فَأَمْلَى عَلَيَّ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً كَثِيراً فَكَانَ فِيمَا رَوَى لِي قَالَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا وَقْتٌ وَ لَا عَدَدٌ إِنَّمَا هِيَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْإِمَاءِ يَتَزَوَّجُ مِنْهُنَّ كَمْ شَاءَ بِغَيْرِ وَلِيٍّ وَ لَا شُهُودٍ وَ إِذَا انْقَضَى الْأَجَلُ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ بِغَيْرِ طَلَاقٍ وَ عِدَّتُهَا حَيْضَةٌ إِنْ كَانَتْ تَحِيضُ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَا تَحِيضُ شَهْرٌ
I met him and he dictated to me a lot of things from it. Among what he reported to me, he said, ‘There is neither any time in it nor number. But rather, she is at the status of the slave girl. He can marry from them however many he so desires to with neither a guardian nor witnesses, and whenever the term expires, she is irrevocable divorced from him without a divorce, and her waiting period is a menstruation, if she was menstruating, and if she was not menstruating, a month’.
فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِالْكِتَابِ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَعَرَضْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ وَ أَقَرَّ بِهِ
I went with the letter to Abu Abdullah-asws and presented it unto him-asws. He-asws said: ‘He spoke the truth’, and acknowledged it.
قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ أُذَيْنَةَ وَ كَانَ زُرَارَةُ يَقُولُ هَذَا وَ يَحْلِفُ بِاللَّهِ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنْ كَانَتْ تَحِيضُ فَحَيْضَةٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَا تَحِيضُ فَشَهْرٌ وَ نِصْفٌ.
Umar Bin Uzina said, ‘And Zurara had said this and he swore by Allah-azwj it is the truth except that he had said, ‘If she was menstruating, so a menstruation, and if she was not menstruating, a month and a half’’.[408]

‘And as for the Mut’ah, Rasool-Allah-saww had permitted it and did not prohibit it until he-saww passed away. When a man intends to do Mut’ah with a woman, let her be a religious, trustworthy woman, for it is not allowed to do Mut’ah with an adulteress or an untrustworthy one. Let him propose to her and let him say, ‘Do Mut’ah with me based upon the Book of Allah-azwj and Sunnah of His-azwj Prophet-saww, a marriage not adultery, for such and such Dirhams, up to such and such day’.

When the term expires, there would be separation without divorce, and she would observe a waiting period from him for forty-five nights. If she comes with a child, upon him is to accept it, and it isn’t for him to deny it’’.[424]
