Hadith.4336 - Zurarah ibn A'yun narrated that Abu Abdillah (as) was asked about the creation of Hawwa (Eve). It was said to him that some people claim Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, created Hawwa from the leftmost rib of Adam. Imam (as) said: "Glory be to Allah (swt) and far exalted is He (swt) above such a claim. Does the one who says this believe that Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, lacked the power to create Adam's spouse from something other than his rib? Does he provide an opportunity for those who seek to cast doubts to say that Adam married a part of himself if she was created from his rib? What is wrong with these people? May Allah (swt) judge between us and them." Then Imam (as) said: "Indeed, when Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, created Adam (as) from clay and commanded the angels to prostrate before him, He (swt) caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. He (swt) then created Hawwa for him and placed her in the indentation between his thighs. This was done so that the woman would be dependent upon the man." Imam (as) continued: "Hawwa began to move, which caused Adam to wake up due to her movement. When he woke up, he was told to move away from her. When he looked at her, he saw a beautiful creation resembling his own image, except that she was female. He spoke to her, and she responded to him in his language." Adam (as) then asked her: 'Who are you?' She replied: 'A creation whom Allah (swt) created, as you can see.' Adam (as) then said: 'O Lord (azj), what is this beautiful creation whose closeness has comforted me and whose sight has pleased me?' Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, said: "O Adam, this is My servant Hawwa. Do you wish for her to be with you, to comfort you, converse with you, and be subject to your command?" Adam (as) replied: "Yes, O Lord (azj), and for that, I offer You praise and thanks for as long as I live." Allah (swt), the Almighty, then said: "Propose to her through Me (swt), for she is My servant, and she may also be suitable for you as a wife for fulfilling desires." Allah (swt) then instilled in Adam the natural desire and had already taught him knowledge of all things. Adam (as) said: "O Lord (azj), I propose to her through You (swt). What is Your (swt) satisfaction regarding this matter?" Allah (swt), the Almighty, said: "My satisfaction is that you teach her the principles of My religion." Adam (as) replied: "That is upon me, O Lord (azj), if You (swt) will grant her to me." Allah (swt), the Almighty, said: "I have willed it and have married her to you. Now take her to yourself." Adam (as) then said to her: "Come to me." But she replied: "No, you come to me." Allah (swt), the Almighty, then commanded Adam (as) to go to her. Had it not been so, women would have approached men and proposed themselves. This is the story of Hawwa (peace be upon her)." As for the saying of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious: "O mankind, fear your Lord (azj), who created you from a single soul and created from it its mate, and dispersed from both of them many men and women" (Surah An-Nisa 4:1), It is narrated that Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, created Adam's spouse from his clay, as mentioned in the verse: "And dispersed from both of them many men and women" (Surah An-Nisa 4:1).

4337 - وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "أَنَّ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وُلِدَ لَهُ شِيثٌ وَ أَنَّ اِسْمَهُ هِبَةُ اَللَّهِ وَ هُوَ أَوَّلُ وَصِيٍّ أُوصِيَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ اَلْآدَمِيِّينَ فِي اَلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لَهُ بَعْدَ شِيثٍ يَافِثُ فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكَا أَرَادَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُبْلِغَ بِالنَّسْلِ مَا تَرَوْنَ وَ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَا قَدْ جَرَى بِهِ اَلْقَلَمُ مِنْ تَحْرِيمِ مَا حَرَّمَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنَ اَلْأَخَوَاتِ عَلَى اَلْإِخْوَةِ أَنْزَلَ بَعْدَ اَلْعَصْرِ فِي يَوْمِ خَمِيسٍ حَوْرَاءَ مِنَ اَلْجَنَّةِ اِسْمُهَا نَزْلَةُ فَأَمَرَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ آدَمَ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا مِنْ شِيثٍ فَزَوَّجَهَا مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ بَعْدَ اَلْعَصْرِ مِنَ اَلْغَدِ حَوْرَاءَ مِنَ اَلْجَنَّةِ وَ اِسْمُهَا مُنْزَلَةُ فَأَمَرَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ آدَمَ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا مِنْ يَافِثَ فَزَوَّجَهَا مِنْهُ فَوُلِدَ لِشِيثٍ غُلاَمٌ وَ وُلِدَ لِيَافِثَ جَارِيَةٌ فَأَمَرَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ آدَمَ حِينَ أَدْرَكَا أَنْ يُزَوِّجَ اِبْنَةَ يَافِثَ مِنِ اِبْنِ شِيثٍ فَفَعَلَ فَوُلِدَ اَلصَّفْوَةُ مِنَ اَلنَّبِيِّينَ وَ اَلْمُرْسَلِينَ مِنْ نَسْلِهِمَا وَ مَعَاذَ اَللَّهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى مَا قَالُوا مِنْ أَمْرِ اَلْإِخْوَةِ وَ اَلْأَخَوَاتِ".

Hadith.4337 - Zurarah narrated from Abu Abdillah (as) that Adam (as) had a son named Sheeth, whose name means "Gift of Allah (swt)." He was the first successor appointed among humans on earth. After Sheeth, Adam (as) had another son named Yafith. When both sons reached maturity, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, intended to continue human progeny and fulfill what was decreed by His (swt) command. To enforce the prohibition of marriage between brothers and sisters, Allah (swt) sent down, after the afternoon (Asr) on a Thursday, a heavenly woman from Paradise named Nazlah. Allah (swt) commanded Adam (as) to marry her to Sheeth, and so he did. The next afternoon, on Friday, Allah (swt) sent down another heavenly woman from Paradise named Munzalah. Allah (swt) commanded Adam (as) to marry her to Yafith, and so he did. Sheeth and Nazlah had a son, and Yafith and Munzalah had a daughter. When these children grew up, Allah (swt) commanded Adam (as) to marry the daughter of Yafith to the son of Sheeth. Adam obeyed this command, and from their lineage came the chosen ones among the prophets and messengers. Far be it from Allah (swt) that human propagation occurred as some have claimed-through marriage between brothers and sisters. Instead, Allah (swt) ensured the preservation of purity and honor in the lineage through divine arrangements.

Hadith.4338 - Al-Qasim ibn Urwah narrated from Burayd al-Ijli, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, sent down to Adam a woman from Paradise, and he married her to one of his sons. The other son married a daughter of the jinn. Therefore, whatever beauty or good character exists among people, it is from the woman of Paradise, and whatever bad character exists among them, it is from the daughter of the jinn."

4339 - رُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "تَحِلُّ اَلْفُرُوجُ بِثَلاَثَةِ وُجُوهٍ نِكَاحٍ بِمِيرَاثٍ وَ نِكَاحٍ بِلاَ مِيرَاثٍ وَ نِكَاحٍ بِمِلْكِ اَلْيَمِينِ".

Hadith.4340 - It is narrated from Amr ibn Shimr, from Jabir, from Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir (as) that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "What prevents a believer from taking a spouse? Perhaps Allah (swt) will grant him offspring who will fill the earth with 'There is no god but Allah (swt).'"

4357 - رُوِيَ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "اَلنِّسَاءُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَصْنَافٍ فَمِنْهُنَّ رَبِيعٌ مُرْبِعٌ وَ مِنْهُنَّ جَامِعٌ مُجْمِعٌ وَ مِنْهُنَّ كَرْبٌ مُقْمِعٌ وَ مِنْهُنَّ غُلٌّ قَمِلٌ".

Hadith.4357 - Mas'adah ibn Ziyad narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) (peace be upon them) that he said: "Women are of four types, there are those who are like a fertile spring, those who are abundant and productive, those who are burdensome and oppressive, and those who are like a shackle infested with lice."

4358 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ اَلْكَرْخِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ صَاحِبَتِي هَلَكَتْ وَ كَانَتْ لِي مُوَافِقَةً وَ قَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ فَقَالَ "اُنْظُرْ أَيْنَ تَضَعُ نَفْسَكَ وَ مَنْ تُشْرِكُهُ فِي مَالِكَ وَ تُطْلِعُهُ عَلَى دِينِكَ وَ سِرِّكَ وَ أَمَانَتِكَ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ لاَ بُدَّ فَاعِلاً فَبِكْراً تُنْسَبُ إِلَى اَلْخَيْرِ وَ إِلَى حُسْنِ اَلْخُلُقِ، أَلاَ إِنَّ اَلنِّسَاءَ خُلِقْنَ شَتَّى فَمِنْهُنَّ اَلْغَنِيمَةُ وَ اَلْغَرَامُ وَ مِنْهُنَّ اَلْهِلاَلُ إِذَا تَجَلَّى لِصَاحِبِهِ وَ مِنْهُنَّ اَلظَّلاَمُ فَمَنْ يَظْفَرْ بِصَالِحِهِنَّ يَسْعَدْ وَ مَنْ يُغْبَنْ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ اِنْتِقَامُ وَ هُنَّ ثَلاَثٌ فَامْرَأَةٌ وَلُودٌ وَدُودٌ، تُعِينُ زَوْجَهَا عَلَى دَهْرِهِ لِدُنْيَاهُ وَ آخِرَتِهِ وَ لاَ تُعِينُ اَلدَّهْرَ عَلَيْهِ وَ اِمْرَأَةٌ عَقِيمٌ لاَ ذَاتُ جَمَالٍ وَ لاَ خُلُقٍ وَ لاَ تُعِينُ زَوْجَهَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ وَ اِمْرَأَةٌ صَخَّابَةٌ وَلاَّجَةٌ هَمَّازَةٌ تَسْتَقِلُّ اَلْكَثِيرَ وَ لاَ تَقْبَلُ اَلْيَسِيرَ ".

Hadith.4358 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Dawud al-Karkhi, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah (as), "My wife has passed away. She was compatible with me, and I am thinking about getting married." Imam (as) said: "Consider carefully where you place yourself, with whom you share your wealth, and to whom you reveal your religion, secrets, and trust. If you must proceed, then marry a virgin who is known for goodness and good character. Know that women are created differently: among them are those who are a blessing and those who are a burden; among them are like the crescent moon that delights its owner when it appears; and among them are like darkness. Whoever finds a righteous woman is happy, and whoever is deceived by one has no recourse for revenge. Women are of three types: A woman who is fertile, loving, and supports her husband in his worldly and religious affairs, not helping life's hardships against him. A woman who is barren, neither beautiful nor of good character, and does not help her husband in anything good. And a woman who is loud, argumentative, fault-finding, belittles much, and is not content with little."

4359 - رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "مِنْ بَرَكَةِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ خِفَّةُ مَئُونَتِهَا وَ تَيْسِيرُ وِلاَدَتِهَا وَ مِنْ شُؤْمِهَا شِدَّةُ مَئُونَتِهَا وَ تَعْسِيرُ وِلاَدَتِهَا".

Hadith.4359 - It is narrated from Abdullah ibn Bukayr, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, that Abu Abdillah (as) said: "Among the blessings of a woman are the lightness of her expenses and the ease of her childbirth. And among her misfortunes are the heaviness of her expenses and the difficulty of her childbirth."

4360 - وَ رُوِيَ: "أَنَّ مِنْ بَرَكَةِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ قِلَّةَ مَهْرِهَا وَ مِنْ شُؤْمِهَا كَثْرَةَ مَهْرِهَا".

Hadith.4360 - It is narrated: "Among the blessings of a woman is the smallness of her dowry, and among her misfortunes is the largeness of her dowry."

4361 - وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "تَزَوَّجُوا اَلزُّرْقَ فَإِنَّ فِيهِنَّ اَلْبَرَكَةَ".

Hadith.4361 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Marry women with blue eyes, for indeed there is blessing in them."

Hadith.4362 - Commander of the Faithful (as) said: "Marry a woman who is dark-skinned, wide-eyed, full-figured, and of medium height. If you dislike her, then I will bear the dowry."

4363 - وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةً بَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا وَ قَالَ "شَمِّي لِيتَهَا فَإِنْ طَابَ لِيتُهَا طَابَ عَرْفُهَا وَ إِنْ دَرِمَ كَعْبُهَا عَظُمَ كَعْثَبُهَا".

Hadith.4363 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family), when intending to marry a woman, would send someone to look at her and said: "Smell her neck, for if her neck smells good, her scent will also be pleasant. And if her ankles are fleshy, her private parts will be well-developed."

4364 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ فَلْيَسْأَلْ عَنْ شَعْرِهَا كَمَا يَسْأَلُ عَنْ وَجْهِهَا فَإِنَّ اَلشَّعْرَ أَحَدُ اَلْجَمَالَيْنِ".

Hadith.4364 - Imam (as) said: "If any of you intends to marry, let him inquire about her hair just as he inquires about her face, for hair is one of the two aspects of beauty."

4365 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "خَيْرُ نِسَائِكُمُ اَلطَّيِّبَةُ اَلرِّيحِ اَلطَّيِّبَةُ اَلطَّعَامِ ، اَلَّتِي إِنْ أَنْفَقَتْ أَنْفَقَتْ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَ إِنْ أَمْسَكَتْ أَمْسَكَتْ بِمَعْرُوفٍ فَتِلْكَ مِنْ عُمَّالِ اَللَّهِ وَ عَامِلُ اَللَّهِ لاَ يَخِيبُ".

Hadith.4365 - Imam (as) said: "The best of your women is the one who has a pleasant fragrance and prepares good food, who spends appropriately if she spends, and who withholds appropriately if she withholds. Such a woman is among the workers of Allah (swt), and the worker of Allah (swt) will never fail."

4366 - وَ رَوَى جَمِيلُ بْنُ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "خَيْرُ نِسَائِكُمُ اَلَّتِي إِنْ غَضِبَتْ أَوْ أَغْضَبَتْ قَالَتْ لِزَوْجِهَا يَدِي فِي يَدِكَ لاَ أَكْتَحِلُ بِغُمْضٍ حَتَّى تَرْضَى عَنِّي".

Hadith.4366 - Jamil ibn Darraj narrated from Abu Abdillah (as) who said: "The best of your women is the one who, if she becomes angry or causes her husband to become angry, says to him, 'My hand is in your hand, and I will not rest until you are pleased with me.'"

4367 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ اَلثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: كُنَّا جُلُوساً مَعَ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ فَتَذَاكَرْنَا اَلنِّسَاءَ وَ فَضْلَ بَعْضِهِنَّ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "أَ لاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ نِسَائِكُمْ" قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ فَأَخْبِرْنَا قَالَ "إِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ نِسَائِكُمُ اَلْوَلُودَ اَلْوَدُودَ اَلسَّتِيرَةَ اَلْعَفِيفَةَ اَلْعَزِيزَةَ فِي أَهْلِهَا اَلذَّلِيلَةَ مَعَ بَعْلِهَا اَلْمُتَبَرِّجَةَ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا اَلْحَصَانَ مَعَ غَيْرِهِ اَلَّتِي تَسْمَعُ قَوْلَهُ وَ تُطِيعُ أَمْرَهُ وَ إِذَا خَلاَ بِهَا بَذَلَتْ لَهُ مَا أَرَادَ مِنْهَا وَ لَمْ تَبَذَّلْ لَهُ تَبَذُّلَ اَلرَّجُلِ ".

Hadith.4367 - Ali ibn Ri'ab narrated from Abu Hamzah al-Thumali, from Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari, who said: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) when we began discussing women and the virtues of some over others. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Shall I not inform you of the best of your women?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah (swt), tell us." He (sw) said: "The best of your women is the one who is loving and fertile, modest and chaste, honorable among her family, humble with her husband, displaying her beauty to her husband while guarding herself from others. She listens to his words, obeys his commands, and when he is alone with her, she offers him what he desires, without imitating the mannerisms of men."

4368 - وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "مَا اِسْتَفَادَ اِمْرُؤٌ مُسْلِمٌ فَائِدَةً بَعْدَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ زَوْجَةٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ تَسُرُّهُ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَ تُطِيعُهُ إِذَا أَمَرَهَا وَ تَحْفَظُهُ إِذَا غَابَ عَنْهَا فِي نَفْسِهَا وَ مَالِهِ".

Hadith.4368 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "A Muslim man does not gain a better benefit after Islam than a Muslim wife who pleases him when he looks at her, obeys him when he commands her, and safeguards herself and his wealth in his absence."

4369 - : وَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِي زَوْجَةً إِذَا دَخَلْتُ تَلَقَّتْنِي وَ إِذَا خَرَجْتُ شَيَّعَتْنِي وَ إِذَا رَأَتْنِي مَهْمُوماً قَالَتْ مَا يُهِمُّكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَهْتَمُّ لِرِزْقِكَ فَقَدْ تَكَفَّلَ لَكَ بِهِ غَيْرُكَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَهْتَمُّ بِأَمْرِ آخِرَتِكَ فَزَادَكَ اَللَّهُ هَمّاً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عُمَّالاً وَ هَذِهِ مِنْ عُمَّالِهِ لَهَا نِصْفُ أَجْرِ اَلشَّهِيدِ".

Hadith.4369 - A man came to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) and said: "I have a wife who, when I enter the house, welcomes me, and when I leave, bids me farewell. If she sees me worried, she says, 'What is troubling you? If you are concerned about your sustenance, know that someone else has taken responsibility for it. And if you are concerned about your afterlife, then may Allah (swt) increase your concern.'" The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Indeed, Allah (swt) has workers, and she is one of His (swt) workers. She will have half the reward of a martyr."

4370 - رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "أَغْلَبُ اَلْأَعْدَاءِ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ زَوْجَةُ اَلسَّوْءِ".

Hadith.4372 - Imam (as) said: "Indeed, women are a source of dependence and vulnerability. So, conceal their vulnerability within the homes and cover their dependence with silence."

4373 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "لَوْ لاَ اَلنِّسَاءُ لَعُبِدَ اَللَّهُ حَقّاً حَقّاً".

Hadith.4374 - Al-Asbagh ibn Nubatah narrated from Commander of the Faithful (as) that he said: "I heard him say: In the last days and near the Hour, when it will be the worst of times, there will appear women who are uncovered, naked, and flaunting themselves. They will outwardly belong to the religion but will be immersed in trials, inclined toward desires, hastening toward pleasures, and making permissible what is forbidden. They will dwell in Hell forever."

4375 - : وَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَلَى نِسْوَةٍ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِنَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ "يَا مَعَاشِرَ اَلنِّسَاءِ مَا رَأَيْتُ نَوَاقِصَ عُقُولٍ وَ دِينٍ أَذْهَبَ بِعُقُولِ ذَوِي اَلْأَلْبَابِ مِنْكُنَّ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ اَلنَّارِ ، يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ فَتَقَرَّبْنَ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا اِسْتَطَعْتُنَّ" فَقَالَتِ اِمْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ مَا نُقْصَانُ دِينِنَا وَ عُقُولِنَا فَقَالَ "أَمَّا نُقْصَانُ دِينِكُنَّ فَالْحَيْضُ اَلَّذِي يُصِيبُكُنَّ فَتَمْكُثُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مَا شَاءَ اَللَّهُ لاَ تُصَلِّي وَ لاَ تَصُومُ وَ أَمَّا نُقْصَانُ عُقُولِكُنَّ فَشَهَادَتُكُنَّ إِنَّمَا شَهَادَةُ اَلْمَرْأَةِ نِصْفُ شَهَادَةِ اَلرَّجُلِ".

Hadith.4375 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) passed by a group of women, stopped, and said: "O assembly of women! I have not seen those who are deficient in intellect and religion more capable of taking away the reasoning of men of understanding than you. Indeed, I have observed that you will form the majority of the inhabitants of Hell on the Day of Judgment. So, seek closeness to Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, as much as you can." One of the women asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), what is the deficiency in our religion and intellect?" He (sw) replied: "As for the deficiency in your religion, it is due to the menstruation that afflicts you, during which one of you may remain for a period, as Allah (swt) wills, without praying or fasting. And as for the deficiency in your intellect, it is because the testimony of a woman is equivalent to half the testimony of a man."

4376 - : وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "أَ لاَ أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَرِّ نِسَائِكُمْ" قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ فَأَخْبِرْنَا قَالَ "مِنْ شَرِّ نِسَائِكُمُ اَلذَّلِيلَةُ فِي أَهْلِهَا اَلْعَزِيزَةُ مَعَ بَعْلِهَا اَلْعَقِيمُ اَلْحَقُودُ اَلَّتِي لاَ تَتَوَرَّعُ عَنْ قَبِيحٍ اَلْمُتَبَرِّجَةُ إِذَا غَابَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا اَلْحَصَانُ مَعَهُ إِذَا حَضَرَ اَلَّتِي لاَ تَسْمَعُ قَوْلَهُ وَ لاَ تُطِيعُ أَمْرَهُ فَإِذَا خَلاَ بِهَا تَمَنَّعَتْ تَمَنُّعَ اَلصَّعْبَةِ عِنْدَ رُكُوبِهَا وَ لاَ تَقْبَلُ لَهُ عُذْراً وَ لاَ تَغْفِرُ لَهُ ذَنْباً".

Hadith.4376 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Shall I not inform you about the worst of your women?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah (swt), tell us." He said: "The worst of your women is the one who is humble and submissive with her family but domineering and arrogant with her husband. She is barren, spiteful, and does not refrain from committing indecency. She flaunts herself when her husband is absent but is reserved and guarded when he is present. She does not listen to his words nor obey his commands. When he is alone with her, she behaves stubbornly like a difficult mount that resists being ridden. She neither accepts his apology nor forgives his faults."

4377 - : وَ قَامَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ خَطِيباً فَقَالَ "أَيُّهَا اَلنَّاسُ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ خَضْرَاءَ اَلدِّمَنِ " قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ وَ مَا خَضْرَاءُ اَلدِّمَنِ قَالَ "اَلْمَرْأَةُ اَلْحَسْنَاءُ فِي مَنْبِتِ اَلسَّوْءِ".

Hadith.4377 - The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) stood up to deliver a sermon and said: "O people, beware of the green growth in a dung heap." It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), what is the green growth in a dung heap?" He (sw) replied: "A beautiful woman raised in a bad environment."

4378 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "اِعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اَلْمَرْأَةَ اَلسَّوْدَاءَ إِذَا كَانَتْ وَلُوداً أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ اَلْحَسْنَاءِ اَلْعَاقِرِ".

Imam (as) said: "When he makes up his mind for that, let him perform two units of prayer, praise Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, and say: 'O Allah (swt), I intend marriage, so decree for me from among the women the one who is most chaste in her private parts, best in preserving herself for me, my wealth, and the most abundant in sustenance, and the greatest in blessings. Grant me from her a good offspring whom You (swt) make for me a righteous successor during my life and after my death.'"

As for an orphan girl under the care of a man, he should not marry her off except to someone she is pleased with."

Hadith.4398 - When Abu Talib (as), may Allah (swt) have mercy upon him, arranged the marriage of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) to Khadijah bint Khuwaylid {s.a}, may Allah (swt) have mercy upon her, after proposing to her through her father, or as some say, through her uncle. Abu Talib (as), stood by the doorposts, addressing the gathering of Quraysh who were present. Abu Talib (as) began by praising Allah (swt), saying: "All praise is due to Allah (swt), who made us from the progeny of Ibrahim and the descendants of Isma'il, who established for us a sacred house that is frequented (by pilgrims) and a secure sanctuary to which the fruits of all things are brought. He (swt) has made us the rulers over the people in our land. My nephew, Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul-Muttalib (sw), cannot be compared to any man of Quraysh except that He (sw) surpasses them in virtue, nor can He (sw) be equated with anyone except that He (sw) holds greater honor than them. Though He (sw) may possess little wealth, wealth is merely a fleeting provision and a transient shade. He (sw) has an interest in Khadijah {s.a}, and she {s.a} has an interest in Him (as). The dowry, whether its immediate or deferred portion, will be paid from my wealth. He (sw) holds a great position, a lofty status, and an eloquent and persuasive tongue." Following this address, Khadijah {s.a} was married to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and He (sw) consummated the marriage the following day. The first child she {s.a} bore for Him (sw) was Abdullah ibn Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).

4399 - : وَ لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اِبْنَةَ اَلْمَأْمُونِ خَطَبَ لِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ " اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مُتِمِّ اَلنِّعَمِ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ اَلْهَادِي إِلَى شُكْرِهِ بِمَنِّهِ وَ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ اَلَّذِي جَمَعَ فِيهِ مِنَ اَلْفَضْلِ مَا فَرَّقَهُ فِي اَلرُّسُلِ قَبْلَهُ وَ جَعَلَ تُرَاثَهُ إِلَى مَنْ خَصَّهُ بِخِلاَفَتِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً وَ هَذَا أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ زَوَّجَنِي اِبْنَتَهُ عَلَى مَا فَرَضَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِلْمُسْلِمَاتِ عَلَى اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ إِمْسَاكٍ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحٍ بِإِحْسَانٍ وَ بَذَلْتُ لَهَا مِنَ اَلصَّدَاقِ مَا بَذَلَهُ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِأَزْوَاجِهِ وَ هُوَ اِثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَ نَشٌّ وَ عَلَيَّ تَمَامُ اَلْخَمْسِمِائَةِ وَ قَدْ نَحَلْتُهَا مِنْ مَالِي مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ زَوَّجْتَنِي يَا أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ" قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ "قَبِلْتُ وَ رَضِيتُ".

Hadith.4399 - When Imam Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ali al-Ridha (as) married the daughter of al-Ma'mun, Imam (as) delivered the following sermon for himself: "All praise is due to Allah (swt), the Completer of blessings through His (swt) mercy, and the Guide to gratitude through His (swt) favor. May Allah (swt) send blessings upon Muhammad (sw), the best of His (swt) creation, in whom He (swt) gathered all virtues that He (swt) distributed among the previous messengers, and He (swt) entrusted his inheritance to those whom He (swt) chose for his succession. May Allah (swt) grant him peace and blessings in abundance. Here stands (your political ruler) Commander of Faithful, who has married me to his daughter in accordance with what Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, has ordained for Muslim women over believing men, either to retain them honorably or to release them kindly. I have offered her as a dowry what the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) offered to his wives, which is twelve uqiyyah and a nashsh (approximately 500 dirhams). And I have added to it, from my own wealth, one hundred thousand (dirhams). O' (political ruler) Commander of the Faithful, you have married her to me, have you not?" He (al-Ma'mun) replied: "Yes." Imam (as) said: "I accept, and I am satisfied."

4400 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "مَنْ تَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةً وَ لَمْ يَنْوِ أَنْ يُوَفِّيَهَا صَدَاقَهَا فَهُوَ عِنْدَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ زَانٍ ".

Hadith.4402 - It is narrated from Jabir ibn Abdullah Al-Ansari that he said: When the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, married Sayyidah Fatimah {s.a} to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), peace be upon them, some people from Quraysh came to Him (sw) and said: "You have married Ali (as) with a trivial dowry." The Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, replied to them: "It was not I, who married Ali (as), but Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, married Him (as) to Her {s.a}. On the night I was taken on the Night Journey to the Sidrat al-Muntaha (Lote Tree at the Utmost Boundary), Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, revealed to the Lote Tree, 'Scatter your ornaments.' It then scattered pearls and jewels upon the maidens of Paradise, who exchanged them as gifts and took pride in them, saying, 'This is from the scattering for Sayyidah Fatimah {s.a}, the daughter of Muhammad (sw), peace be upon him and his family.'" When the night of the wedding arrived, the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, brought his grey mule and covered it with a cloak. He (sw) said to Sayyidah Fatimah {s.a}, peace be upon her, "Mount it." He (sw) then commanded Salman, may Allah (swt) have mercy on him, to lead it, while the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, walked behind it. While they were on the way, the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, heard a sound and saw Archangel Jibril (Gabriel) (as), descending with seventy thousand angels, and Mika'il (Michael), peace be upon him, with seventy thousand angels. The Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, said: "What has brought you down to earth?" They said: "We have come to escort Sayyida Fatimah {s.a}, peace be upon her, to her husband." Archangel Jibril (as) proclaimed "Allahu Akbar" (Allah (swt) is the Greatest), and Mika'il, peace be upon him, followed with the same proclamation, as did the angels. Then Muhammad (sw), peace be upon him and his family, also proclaimed "Allahu Akbar." From that night, the custom of proclaiming "Allahu Akbar" during weddings was established.

If You (swt) decree for me from her a child, then make him blessed, righteous, and sound, and do not allow Satan to have any share or portion in him.'"

Hadith.4407 - Al-Hasan bin Mahbub narrated from Abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz, from Amr bin Uthman, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said: I asked Imam (as): "Is it disliked to have intercourse at certain times?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes, it is disliked during a night when the moon is eclipsed, during the day when the sun is eclipsed, between sunset and the disappearance of twilight, from the rising of dawn until the rising of the sun, during black, red, and yellow winds, and during earthquakes." Imam (as) continued: "The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, spent a night with one of his wives, and the moon was eclipsed that night. He (sw) refrained from intimacy. His (sw) wife said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, is all of this due to dislike?" He (sw) replied: "Woe to you! This celestial event has occurred, and I disliked to take pleasure and engage in something (worldly) at such a time. Indeed, Allah, the Exalted, has reproached a people, saying: 'And if they see a piece of the sky falling, they would say, "A heap of clouds!"' (Surah At-Tur 52:44) By Allah (swt), no one engages in intimacy during these times that I (sw) have described, having heard this explanation, and is granted a child from that intimacy, except that they will see what they dislike."

4408 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "لاَ تُجَامِعْ فِي أَوَّلِ اَلشَّهْرِ وَ لاَ فِي وَسَطِهِ وَ لاَ فِي آخِرِهِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ لِسِقْطِ اَلْوَلَدِ فَإِنْ تَمَّ أَوْشَكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَجْنُوناً أَ لاَ تَرَى أَنَّ اَلْمَجْنُونَ أَكْثَرُ مَا يُصْرَعُ فِي أَوَّلِ اَلشَّهْرِ وَ وَسَطِهِ وَ آخِرِهِ ".

Hadith.4408 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), said: "Do not have intercourse at the beginning of the month, in its middle, or at its end. For whoever does so should prepare himself for the possibility of miscarriage. And if the child is born, it is likely to suffer from mental instability. Do you not see that most cases of insanity occur at the beginning, middle, and end of the month?"

Hadith.4414 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), said: "If one of you approaches his wife, let him remember Allah (swt), for whoever does not remember Allah (swt) during intercourse, and a child is born from it, that child will have a share of Satan's partnership. This can be recognized by the child's love or hatred for us."

(Surah An-Nur 24:3) Imam (as) said: "They are women known for adultery and men known for adultery, who have been publicly infamous for committing adultery and are recognized for it. Today, people in such a situation, whether the prescribed punishment for adultery has been carried out on them or they are publicly known for adultery, should not be married until their repentance is established."

Hadith.4422 - And Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Muawiyah ibn Wahb and others of our companions, from Abu Abdullah (as). He said: I asked Imam (as) about a believing man marrying a Jewish or Christian woman. Imam (as) replied: "If he has access to a Muslim woman, what need does he have for a Jewish or Christian woman?" I said: "He may have affection for her." Imam (as) said: "If he does so, then he must prevent her from drinking wine and eating pork, and know that there is a deficiency in his religion for marrying her."

Imam (as) replied: "No, but if he has a Magian bondwoman, then there is no harm in having relations with her while practicing withdrawal, and he should not seek to have a child with her."

4424 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ اَلْحَمَّارِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّجُلِ اَلْمُسْلِمِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ اَلنَّاصِبِيَّةَ وَ لاَ يُزَوِّجَ اِبْنَتَهُ نَاصِباً وَ لاَ يَطْرَحَهَا عِنْدَهُ".

4425 - وَ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "صِنْفَانِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لاَ نَصِيبَ لَهُمَا فِي اَلْإِسْلاَمِ اَلنَّاصِبُ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِي حَرْباً وَ غَالٍ فِي اَلدِّينِ مَارِقٌ مِنْهُ".

Hadith.4425 - The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "Two groups from my nation have no share in Islam: those who harbor enmity against my household and declare war against them, and those who are extreme in religion and deviate from it."

Hadith.4426 - Safwan narrated from Zurara, who reported from Abu Abdullah (as), that he said: "Marry among those who are doubtful (in faith), but do not give them your daughters in marriage, for the woman adopts the manners of her husband and he compels her to follow his religion."

Hadith.4427 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Yunus ibn Yaqub, who reported from Humran ibn Ayan: Some of his family members were seeking to marry, but they could not find a woman they deemed suitable. This matter was mentioned to Abu Abdullah (as), who said: "Where are you regarding the simple and innocent women, those who know nothing?" I said: "But people say that humanity is divided into two types: believer and disbeliever." Imam (as) replied: "Then where are those about whom Allah (swt) said: 'They mixed a righteous deed with another that was evil.' (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:102) and where are those who are 'deferred until Allah's (swt) command,' (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:106), awaiting for Allah's (swt) pardon?"

Hadith.4429 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Jamil ibn Salih, from Zurara, who said: I heard Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) say: "I do not like for a Muslim man to marry a woman who would be a co-wife to his mother, with someone other than his father."

Hadith.4430 - Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Bazi reported that he asked Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as), about a woman who had been afflicted with drinking wine and became intoxicated, then married herself to a man while in her intoxicated state. When she sobered up, she denied it but then assumed that the marriage might be binding, so she remained with the man out of caution based on that marriage. He asked whether this was lawful for her or if the marriage was invalid due to the intoxication, and whether the man had any claim over her. Imam (as) said: "If she remained with him after she sobered up, then that is her consent." He then asked: "Does such a marriage become valid for her?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes."

4431 - وَ رَوَى عَمْرُو بْنُ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْقَابِلَةِ أَ يَحِلُّ لِلْمَوْلُودِ أَنْ يَنْكِحَهَا قَالَ "لاَ وَ لاَ اِبْنَتَهَا هِيَ كَبَعْضِ أُمَّهَاتِهِ".

Hadith.4431 - Amr ibn Shimr reported from Jabir, who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), about the midwife, whether it is permissible for the child she delivered to marry her. Imam (as) replied: "No, nor her daughter. She is like one of his mothers."

Hadith.4432 - It is narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn 'Ammar that Abu Abdullah (as) said: "If she only received (the child) and then left, then midwives are more common than that. But if she received and raised (the child), then she becomes prohibited for him."

Imam (as) said: "If he looks at her with lustful intent and sees from her what is unlawful for others to see, she becomes unlawful for his son. And if the son does the same, she becomes unlawful for the father."

4436 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ اَلْحَذَّاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "لاَ تُنْكَحُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى عَمَّتِهَا وَ لاَ عَلَى خَالَتِهَا وَ لاَ عَلَى أُخْتِهَا مِنَ اَلرَّضَاعَةِ" قَالَ وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "إِنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ ذَكَرَ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اِبْنَةَ حَمْزَةَ فَقَالَ "أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا اِبْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ اَلرَّضَاعَةِ" وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ حَمْزَةُ قَدْ رَضَعَا مِنْ لَبَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ ".

Imam (as) said: "She is entitled to a gift (mut'ah) and inheritance, but there is no dowry for her." Imam (as) also said: "If he divorced her after marrying her based on her terms, the amount of her terms cannot exceed five hundred dirhams, the dowry of the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family)."

Hadith.4452 - Talhah ibn Zayd narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) (peace be upon them), who said: "I read in the book of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as): 'If a man marries a woman and commits adultery before consummating the marriage, she does not remain lawful for him because he is an adulterer. They shall be separated, and he must give her half of the dowry.'"

4453 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي اَلْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا زَنَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا زَوْجُهَا قَالَ "يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ لاَ صَدَاقَ لَهَا لِأَنَّ اَلْحَدَثَ مِنْ قِبَلِهَا".

Hadith.4453 - In a narration from Isma'il ibn Abi Ziyad, from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), peace be upon them, who said: Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said regarding a woman who commits adultery before her husband consummates the marriage: "They shall be separated, and she is not entitled to a dowry because the offense originated from her."

4454 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ يُونُسَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةً فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا فَزَنَتْ قَالَ "يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ تُحَدُّ اَلْحَدَّ وَ لاَ صَدَاقَ لَهَا".

Hadith.4455 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who commits a forbidden act with his wife's sister.

Hadith.4456 - Musa ibn Bakr narrated from Zurara ibn Ayan, who reported from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): He was asked about a man who had a wife and then committed fornication with her mother, her daughter, or her sister. Imam (as) said: "No unlawful act has ever rendered lawful acts unlawful. His wife remains lawful to him." And Imam (as) further said: "There is no harm if a man commits fornication with a woman and then marries her afterward. He compared this to a man who steals a date from a palm tree and then buys it later-there is no harm in doing so. It is also permissible for him to marry her mother, daughter, or sister afterward. If he is already married to the woman and then marries her mother, daughter, or sister and consummates the marriage, but later finds out the relationship, he should separate from the latter, while his first wife remains lawful to him. However, he should not approach his first wife until the womb of the woman he separated from has been cleared. If a man commits fornication with his son's wife, his father's wife, his son's concubine, or his father's concubine, this does not make them unlawful for their husbands or owners. However, if he commits such an act with a concubine while she is lawfully his, she becomes forever unlawful to his son or his father. Similarly, if a man lawfully marries a woman, she becomes forever unlawful to his son or his father."

4457 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو اَلْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ فَجَرَ بِامْرَأَةٍ ثُمَّ أَرَادَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَقَالَ "إِذَا تَابَتْ حَلَّتْ لَهُ" قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ تُعْرَفُ تَوْبَتُهَا قَالَ "يَدْعُوهَا إِلَى مَا كَانَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اَلْحَرَامِ فَإِنِ اِمْتَنَعَتْ فَاسْتَغْفَرَتْ رَبَّهَا عَرَفَ تَوْبَتَهَا ".

Hadith.4457 - Abu al-Maghra narrated from Abu Basir, who said: I asked Imam (as) about a man who committed fornication with a woman and then later wanted to marry her. Imam (as) said: "If she repents, she becomes lawful for him." I asked: "And how can her repentance be known?" Imam (as) replied: "He should invite her to engage in the same unlawful act they previously committed. If she refuses and seeks forgiveness from her Lord (azj), then her repentance is known."

Hadith.4458 - Ali ibn Ri'ab narrated from Zurara, who said: I asked Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a man who married a woman in Iraq, then traveled to Syria and married another woman, only to later discover that she was the sister of his wife in Iraq. Imam (as) said: "He must separate from the one he married in Syria, and he cannot approach the one in Iraq until the waiting period ('iddah) of the one in Syria is completed." I asked: "What if he married a woman and then married her mother, not knowing that she was her mother?" Imam (as) said: "Allah (swt) excuses his ignorance in this matter." Then Imam (as) continued: "When he learns that she is the mother, he must not approach her, nor approach the daughter until the waiting period of the mother is completed. After the mother's waiting period ends, it becomes lawful for him to marry the daughter." I asked: "What if the mother bears a child?" Imam (as) said: "The child is his, inherits from him, and is both his son and the brother of his wife."

4459 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلٍ أَمَرَ رَجُلاً أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهُ اِمْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلْبَصْرَةِ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ فَزَوَّجَهُ اِمْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلْكُوفَةِ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ قَالَ "خَالَفَ أَمْرَهُ وَ عَلَى اَلْمَأْمُورِ نِصْفُ اَلصَّدَاقِ لِأَهْلِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ وَ لاَ عِدَّةَ عَلَيْهَا وَ لاَ مِيرَاثَ بَيْنَهُمَا " فَقَالَ بَعْضُ مَنْ حَضَرَهُ فَإِنْ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهُ اِمْرَأَةً وَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ أَرْضاً وَ لاَ قَبِيلَةً ثُمَّ جَحَدَ اَلْآمِرُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَمَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا زَوَّجَهُ فَقَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ لِلْمَأْمُورِ بَيِّنَةٌ أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهُ بِزَوْجَةٍ كَانَ اَلصَّدَاقُ عَلَى اَلْآمِرِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ كَانَ اَلصَّدَاقُ عَلَى اَلْمَأْمُورِ لِأَهْلِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ وَ لاَ مِيرَاثَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ لاَ عِدَّةَ عَلَيْهَا وَ لَهَا نِصْفُ اَلصَّدَاقِ إِنْ كَانَ فَرَضَ لَهَا صَدَاقاً وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ سَمَّى لَهَا صَدَاقاً فَلاَ شَيْءَ لَهَا ".

Hadith.4459 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Malik ibn Atiyyah, from Abu Ubaydah, who reported from Abu Abdullah (as): Regarding a man who instructed another man to marry him to a woman from the people of Basra, from the tribe of Banu Tamim, but the intermediary instead married him to a woman from the people of Kufa, also from the tribe of Banu Tamim. Imam (as) said: "He has disobeyed his command. The intermediary is responsible for half the dowry to the woman's family. There is no waiting period ('iddah) for her, and there is no inheritance between them." Someone present then asked: "What if he instructed him to marry a woman without specifying the land or tribe, and later the man who gave the order denied ever instructing him after the marriage had been performed?" Imam (as) said: "If the intermediary has proof that he was instructed to arrange the marriage, then the dowry is the responsibility of the one who gave the order. However, if the intermediary has no proof, then the dowry falls upon the intermediary to pay to the woman's family. There is no inheritance between them, and there is no waiting period ('iddah) for her. She is entitled to half the dowry if a specific dowry was stipulated. If no dowry was specified, then she is entitled to nothing."

Imam (as) said: "He should release whichever ones he wishes."

Hadith.4461 - Muhammad ibn Qays narrated from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): Regarding a man who had four wives and divorced one of them, then married another woman before the divorced wife had completed her waiting period. Imam (as) ruled: "The latter wife must return to her family until the divorced wife completes her waiting period. After that, the latter wife must observe a new waiting period. If he had consummated the marriage with her, she is entitled to her dowry. However, if he had not consummated the marriage, she has no dowry and no waiting period required for her. After her waiting period ends, if her family wishes, they may give her back in marriage to him, and if they wish, they may refuse."

Later, he wanted to emancipate a bondwoman and marry her. Imam (as) said: "If he divorces the woman with whom he had not consummated the marriage, then there is no harm in him marrying another woman on that same day. However, if he divorces one of the three wives with whom he had consummated the marriage, he cannot marry another woman until the waiting period of the divorced wife is completed."

He consummated the marriage with one of them and then died. Imam (as) said: "If he consummated the marriage with the woman whose name was mentioned first during the marriage contract, then his marriage is valid, and she must observe the waiting period ('iddah), and she is entitled to inheritance. However, if he consummated the marriage with the woman whose name was mentioned after the first woman, then his marriage is invalid, she is not entitled to inheritance, but she must observe the waiting period ('iddah).

Hadith.4464 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Ayyub, from Abu Ubaydah, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): He was asked about a man who married a free woman and two bondwomen in a single contract. Imam (as) said: "As for the free woman, her marriage is valid, and if he specified a dowry for her, it belongs to her. However, as for the two bondwomen, their marriage in the same contract with the free woman is invalid. He must separate from them."

4465 - وَ رَوَى طَلْحَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا اُغْتُصِبَتْ أَمَةٌ فَاقْتُضَّتْ فَعَلَيْهِ عُشْرُ ثَمَنِهَا فَإِذَا كَانَتْ حُرَّةً فَعَلَيْهِ اَلصَّدَاقُ".

Hadith.4465 - Talhah ibn Zayd narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that Ali (as) said: "If a bondwoman is raped and her virginity is taken, the perpetrator must pay one-tenth of her value. However, if she is a free woman, he must pay the dowry."

4466 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلٍ أَقَرَّ أَنَّهُ غَصَبَ رَجُلاً عَلَى جَارِيَتِهِ وَ قَدْ وَلَدَتِ اَلْجَارِيَةُ مِنَ اَلْغَاصِبِ قَالَ "تُرَدُّ اَلْجَارِيَةُ وَ وَلَدُهَا عَلَى اَلْمَغْصُوبِ إِذَا أَقَرَّ بِذَلِكَ أَوْ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ".

Hadith.4466 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said regarding a man who confessed that he had forcibly taken another man's bondwoman, and the bondwoman had given birth to a child by the usurper: "The bondwoman and her child must be returned to the rightful owner if the usurper has confessed to this or if there is evidence against him."

4467 - وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلَيْنِ نَكَحَا اِمْرَأَتَيْنِ فَأُتِيَ هَذَا بِامْرَأَةِ هَذَا وَ هَذَا بِامْرَأَةِ هَذَا قَالَ "تَعْتَدُّ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذَا وَ هَذِهِ مِنْ هَذَا ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا".

Hadith.4467 - Al-'Ala' narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who reported from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): I asked Imam (as) about two men who married two women, but each man was mistakenly given the wife of the other. Imam (as) said: "Each woman must observe the waiting period (iddah) from the other man, and then they may return to their rightful husbands."

4468 - وَ رَوَى جَمِيلُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كُنَّ لَهُ ثَلاَثُ بَنَاتٍ أَبْكَارٍ فَزَوَّجَ وَاحِدَةً مِنْهُنَّ رَجُلاً وَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ اَلَّتِي زَوَّجَ لِلزَّوْجِ وَ لاَ لِلشُّهُودِ وَ قَدْ كَانَ اَلزَّوْجُ فَرَضَ لَهَا صَدَاقاً فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَنْ يُدْخُلَ بِهَا عَلَى اَلزَّوْجِ وَ بَلَغَ اَلزَّوْجَ أَنَّهَا اَلْكُبْرَى قَالَ اَلزَّوْجُ لِأَبِيهَا إِنَّمَا تَزَوَّجْتُ مِنْكَ اَلصُّغْرَى مِنْ بَنَاتِكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "إِنْ كَانَ اَلزَّوْجُ رَآهُنَّ كُلَّهُنَّ وَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ لَهُ وَاحِدَةً مِنْهُنَّ فَالْقَوْلُ فِي ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اَلْأَبِ وَ عَلَى اَلْأَبِ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ إِلَى اَلزَّوْجِ اَلْجَارِيَةَ اَلَّتِي كَانَ نَوَى أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا إِيَّاهُ عِنْدَ عُقْدَةِ اَلنِّكَاحِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ اَلزَّوْجُ لَمْ يَرَهُنَّ كُلَّهُنَّ وَ لَمْ يُسَمِّ لَهُ وَاحِدَةً مِنْهُنَّ عِنْدَ عُقْدَةِ اَلنِّكَاحِ فَالنِّكَاحُ بَاطِلٌ ".

Hadith.4468 - Jamil ibn Salih narrated from Abu 'Ubaydah, who said: I asked Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a man who had three unmarried daughters. He married one of them to a man but did not specify which daughter to the husband or the witnesses. The husband had already agreed upon a dowry for her. When the time came for the husband to consummate the marriage, he was informed that the bride was the eldest daughter. However, the husband said to the father, "I only intended to marry your youngest daughter." Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) replied: "If the husband had seen all the daughters and had not specified one of them, then the decision is based on the father's word. However, the father must, before Allah (swt) (Glorified and Exalted), give the husband the daughter he intended to marry off at the time of the marriage contract. But if the husband had not seen all the daughters and no specific one was identified during the marriage contract, then the marriage is invalid."

4469 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: فِي أُخْتَيْنِ أُهْدِيَتَا لِأَخَوَيْنِ فَأُدْخِلَتِ اِمْرَأَةُ هَذَا عَلَى هَذَا وَ اِمْرَأَةُ هَذَا عَلَى هَذَا قَالَ "لِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا اَلصَّدَاقُ بِالْغِشْيَانِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ وَلِيُّهُمَا تَعَمَّدَ ذَلِكَ أُغْرِمَ اَلصَّدَاقَ وَ لاَ يَقْرَبُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا اِمْرَأَتَهُ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ اَلْعِدَّةُ فَإِذَا اِنْقَضَتِ اَلْعِدَّةُ صَارَتْ كُلُّ اِمْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى زَوْجِهَا اَلْأَوَّلِ بِالنِّكَاحِ اَلْأَوَّلِ" قِيلَ لَهُ فَإِنْ مَاتَتَا قَبْلَ اِنْقِضَاءِ اَلْعِدَّةِ قَالَ "يَرْجِعُ اَلزَّوْجَانِ بِنِصْفِ اَلصَّدَاقِ عَلَى وَرَثَتِهِمَا وَ يَرِثَانِهِمَا اَلرَّجُلاَنِ" قِيلَ فَإِنْ مَاتَ اَلزَّوْجَانِ وَ هُمَا فِي اَلْعِدَّةِ قَالَ "تَرِثَانِهِمَا وَ لَهُمَا نِصْفُ اَلْمَهْرِ وَ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلْعِدَّةُ بَعْدَ مَا تَفْرُغَانِ مِنَ اَلْعِدَّةِ اَلْأُولَى تَعْتَدَّانِ عِدَّةَ اَلْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا".

Hadith.4469 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Jamil ibn Salih that Abu Abdullah (as) said regarding two sisters who were given in marriage to two brothers, but each was mistakenly sent to the other brother. Abu Abdullah (as) said: "Each woman is entitled to the dowry due to consummation. If their guardian deliberately caused this mix-up, he must pay the dowry. Neither man may approach his wife until her waiting period ('iddah) ends. Once the waiting period is over, each woman returns to her original husband based on the first marriage contract." It was asked: "What if the women die before the waiting period ends?" Imam (as) said: "The husbands may reclaim half of the dowry from their heirs, and the two husbands inherit from them." It was further asked: "What if the husbands die while the wives are still in the waiting period?" Imam (as) said: "The wives inherit from their husbands and are entitled to half of the dowry. After completing the waiting period for the first incident, they must observe another waiting period as widows of their deceased husbands."

Hadith.4470 - Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hamid narrated from Muhammad ibn Shuayb who said: I wrote to Imam (as) regarding a man who proposed marriage to his uncle's daughter. The uncle instructed one of his brothers to marry his daughter to the man. However, during the marriage contract, the man mistakenly mentioned a different name instead of the daughter's actual name, which was Fatimah. The man did not have any daughter by the name he mentioned during the contract. The Imam (as) responded: "There is no harm in it."

Hadith.4471 - Ismail ibn Abi Ziyad narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Marriage through employment is not permissible in Islam today, such as when someone says, 'I will work for you for such and such a year in exchange for marrying your sister or daughter.' Such an arrangement is forbidden because it reduces her to a price, whereas she is entitled to her dowry."

4472 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ اَلْحَذَّاءِ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ خَصِيٍّ تَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةً وَ هِيَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ خَصِيٌّ قَالَ "جَائِزٌ" قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ مَكَثَ مَعَهَا مَا شَاءَ اَللَّهُ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا هَلْ عَلَيْهَا عِدَّةٌ قَالَ "نَعَمْ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ لَذَّ مِنْهَا وَ لَذَّتْ مِنْهُ " قِيلَ لَهُ فَهَلْ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا فِيمَا يَكُونُ مِنْهَا وَ مِنْهُ غُسْلٌ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ أَمْنَتْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهَا غُسْلاً" قِيلَ لَهُ فَلَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ اَلصَّدَاقِ إِذَا طَلَّقَهَا قَالَ "لاَ".

Hadith.4472 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Jamil ibn Salih from Abu Ubaydah al-Hadhdha' that Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) was asked about a eunuch who married a woman, and she was aware that he was a eunuch. Imam (as) said: "It is permissible." It was then asked: "If he remained with her as long as Allah (swt) willed and then divorced her, is she required to observe a waiting period (iddah)?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes, did he not experience pleasure with her, and did she not experience pleasure with him?" Imam (as) was further asked: "Is she required to perform ritual purification (ghusl) due to their intimacy?" Ima (as) replied: "If she experiences sexual discharge during their intimacy, then she is required to perform ghusl." Finally, Imam (as) was asked: "Does he have the right to reclaim any part of the dowry (mahr) if he divorces her?" Imam (as) said: "No."

Hadith.4473 - Ali ibn Ri'ab narrated from Abdullah ibn Bukayr from his father, from one of the Imams (as), regarding a eunuch who deceived a Muslim woman and married her. Imam (as) said: "They shall be separated if the woman so desires, and his head shall be struck as a punishment. However, if she accepts him and decides to stay with him after learning the truth, she will no longer have the right to reject him later."

Hadith.4475 - Muhammad ibn Qays narrated from Abu Ja'far Imam Al-Baqir (as): Imam (as) ruled regarding a man who married a woman, and she gave him the dowry herself and stipulated that she would have the authority over intimacy and divorce. Imam (as) said: "She has opposed the Sunnah and has been given a right she is not entitled to." Then Imam (as) ruled: "The dowry is obligatory upon him, and the consummation and divorce are in his hands, as this is the Sunnah."

Hadith.4476 - Commander of the Faithful (as) ruled concerning two sisters: A man married one of them and then divorced her while she was pregnant. He then proposed to and married her sister before the divorced sister gave birth. Imam (as) ordered him to divorce the second sister until the first sister gave birth. After that, he could propose to the second sister again and pay her dowry twice.

Hadith.4477 - Commander of the Faithful (as) ruled: "A free woman may be married before a bondwoman, but a bondwoman may not be married before a free woman." If a man marries a free woman along with a bondwoman, he must allocate to the free woman twice as much from his wealth and time as he allocates to the bondwoman, and the bondwoman is entitled to one-third of his wealth and time."

Hadith.4478 - Imam Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who married a Dhimmi woman (non-Muslim under Muslim protection) while already married to a Muslim woman. Imam (as) said: "They should be separated, and he should be given one-eighth of the prescribed punishment, which amounts to twelve and a half lashes. However, if the Muslim woman consents to it, he should still receive one-eighth of the punishment, but they should not be separated." I asked: "How is half a lash administered?" Imam (as) replied: "The whip is held by its middle, and he is struck with it."

Hadith.4481 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ibrahim al-Karkhi, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (as) about a man who has four wives and spends the night with three of them during their respective nights, and he has relations with them. However, when he spends the night with the fourth one on her night, he does not have relations with her. Is there any sin upon him in this matter? Imam (as) said: "It is only obligatory upon him to spend the night with her on her night and to remain with her until the morning. There is no obligation upon him to have relations with her if he does not wish to do so."

4482 - وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ تَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ اِمْرَأَتَانِ إِحْدَاهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ اَلْأُخْرَى قَالَ لَهُ "أَنْ يَأْتِيَهَا ثَلاَثَ لَيَالٍ وَ اَلْأُخْرَى لَيْلَةً فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ أَرْبَعَ نِسْوَةٍ كَانَ لِكُلِّ اِمْرَأَةٍ لَيْلَةٌ فَلِذَلِكَ كَانَ لَهُ أَنْ يُفَضِّلَ بَعْضَهُنَّ عَلَى بَعْضٍ مَا لَمْ يَكُنَّ أَرْبَعاً".

Hadith.4482 - Al-Alaa narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: I asked him about a man who has two wives, one of whom is more beloved to him than the other. Imam (as) said: "He may spend three nights with her and one night with the other. However, if he wishes to marry four wives, then each wife is entitled to one night. Therefore, it is permissible for him to prefer some of them over others as long as they are not four."

4483 - وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "تَزَوَّجِ اَلْأَمَةَ عَلَى اَلْأَمَةِ وَ لاَ تَزَوَّجِ اَلْأَمَةَ عَلَى اَلْحُرَّةِ وَ تَزَوَّجِ اَلْحُرَّةَ عَلَى اَلْأَمَةِ فَإِنْ تَزَوَّجْتَ اَلْحُرَّةَ عَلَى اَلْأَمَةِ فَلِلْحُرَّةِ اَلثُّلُثَانِ وَ لِلْأَمَةِ اَلثُّلُثُ وَ لَيْلَتَانِ وَ لَيْلَةٌ".

Hadith.4483 - Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said: "Marry a bondwoman alongside another bondwoman, but do not marry a bondwoman alongside a free woman. However, you may marry a free woman alongside a bondwoman. If you marry a free woman alongside a bondwoman, then the free woman is entitled to two-thirds, and the bondwoman to one-third, of both your wealth and your time, two nights for the free woman and one night for the bondwoman."

4484 - وَ رَوَى مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: إِنَّ ضُرَيْساً كَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ اِبْنَةُ حُمْرَانَ فَجَعَلَ لَهَا أَنْ لاَ يَتَزَوَّجَ عَلَيْهَا وَ لاَ يَتَسَرَّى عَلَيْهَا أَبَداً فِي حَيَاتِهَا وَ لاَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا عَلَى أَنْ جَعَلَتْ هِيَ أَنْ لاَ تَتَزَوَّجَ بَعْدَهُ وَ جَعَلاَ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنَ اَلْحَجِّ وَ اَلْهَدْيِ وَ اَلنُّذُورِ وَ كُلَّ مَالٍ لَهُمَا يَمْلِكَانِهِ فِي اَلْمَسَاكِينِ وَ كُلَّ مَمْلُوكٍ لَهُمَا حُرّاً إِنْ لَمْ يَفِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَتَى أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ "إِنَّ لاِبْنَةِ حُمْرَانَ حَقّاً وَ لَنْ يَحْمِلَنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ نَقُولَ اَلْحَقَّ اِذْهَبْ فَتَزَوَّجْ وَ تَسَرَّ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ" فَجَاءَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَتَسَرَّى فَوُلِدَ لَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَوْلاَدٌ.

Hadith.4484 - Musa ibn Bakr narrated from Zurara, who said: Durais had married the daughter of Humran, and he made a condition for her that he would neither marry another wife nor take a concubine over her, neither during her lifetime nor after her death. In return, she made a condition that she would not marry anyone after him. They also pledged that if either of them failed to fulfill their commitment, all their wealth, possessions, and slaves would be given as charity to the poor, and their slaves would be set free. Then, Durais went to Abu Abdillah (as) and mentioned this matter to him. Imam (as) said: "The daughter of Humran has her rights, but that will not prevent us from speaking the truth. Go and marry and take concubines, for this agreement has no binding effect." After that, Durais married and took a concubine, and children were born to him afterward.

Hadith.4485 - Thalabah ibn Maymun narrated from Abdullah ibn Hilal, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (as) about a man who marries a child born of fornication. He (as) said: "There is no harm in it. It is only disliked due to the fear of disgrace. Indeed, the child belongs to the father, and the woman is merely a vessel." I said: What about a man who buys a bondwoman born of fornication and has relations with her? He (as) said: "There is no harm in it."

Hadith.4486 - Al-Bazanti narrated from Al-Mashriqi, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan (as): What do you say about a man who claimed that he proposed to a woman, and jokingly, she married herself to him while also joking? Then the woman was asked about this, and she said: "Yes." Imam (as) said: "It is nothing." I asked: Is it permissible for the man to marry her? Imam (as) said: "Yes."

Hadith.4489 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Walad al-Hannat, who said: Abu Abdillah (as) was asked about a man who instructed another man to marry a woman for him in Medina, specifying her by name, while the one giving the instruction was in Iraq. The one instructed went and married her to him. Then he returned to Iraq and found that the one who had given the instruction had died. Imam (as) said: "It should be examined. If the instructed person married her to him before the one who gave the instruction died, and then the one who gave the instruction died afterward, then the dowry in all such cases will be considered part of the inheritance, like a debt. But if he married her to him after the one who gave the instruction had died, then there is no obligation on the one who gave the instruction nor on the one who carried it out, and the marriage is invalid."

4490 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ اَلْجَهْمِ اَلْهِلاَلِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَزَوَّجُ اَلْمَرْأَةَ وَ لَهَا اِبْنَةٌ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ أَ يُزَوِّجُ اِبْنَهُ اِبْنَتَهَا قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَتْ مِنْ زَوْجٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَلاَ بَأْسَ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ مِنْ زَوْجٍ بَعْدَ مَا تَزَوَّجَهَا فَلاَ".

Hadith.4490 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Zayd ibn al-Jahm al-Hilali, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (as) about a man who marries a woman, and she has a daughter from another man. Can he marry his son to her daughter? Imam (as) said: "If the daughter is from a husband she had before he married her, then there is no harm. But if the daughter is from a husband she had after he married her, then no, it is not permissible."

Hadith.4491 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Hammad al-Nab, from Abu Basir, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (as) about a man who married a woman with the condition of giving her a well-known orchard that had abundant produce. Then, after remaining for years without consummating the marriage, he divorced her. Imam (as) said: "He must look at what the orchard has yielded in produce from the day he married her, and he should give her half of it, along with half of the orchard itself, unless she pardons him and agrees to settle for something that pleases her from him, for that is closer to piety."

Hadith.4492 - Ishaq ibn Ammar narrated from Abu al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as), who said: I asked him about a man who married a woman on the basis of giving her his slave and the slave's wife, and he delivered them to her. Then the slave's wife died while in the possession of the woman, and afterward, he divorced her before consummating the marriage. Imam (as) said: "If he had evaluated their worth for her at the time of the marriage, then the second (the slave) should also be evaluated. After that, the remaining value of the original dowry at the time of the marriage should be assessed, and the woman must return it to the husband. Then the husband must give her half of what remains from that value."

4493 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ جَارِيَةً بِكْراً لَمْ تُدْرِكْ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ بِهَا اِقْتَضَّهَا فَأَفْضَاهَا ، فَقَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ دَخَلَ بِهَا حِينَ دَخَلَ بِهَا وَ لَهَا تِسْعُ سِنِينَ فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَمْ تَبْلُغْ تِسْعَ سِنِينَ أَوْ كَانَ لَهَا أَقَلُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِقَلِيلٍ حِينَ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَاقْتَضَّهَا فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَفْسَدَهَا وَ عَطَّلَهَا عَلَى اَلْأَزْوَاجِ فَعَلَى اَلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يُغَرِّمَهُ دِيَتَهَا وَ إِنْ أَمْسَكَهَا وَ لَمْ يُطَلِّقْهَا حَتَّى تَمُوتَ فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ ".

Hadith.4493 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Ayyub, from Humran, who said: Abu Abdillah (as) was asked about a man who married a young bondwoman who was a virgin and had not yet reached maturity. When he consummated the marriage, he deflowered her and caused her to lose her virginity completely. Imam (as) said: "If he consummated the marriage with her when she was nine years old, then there is no liability upon him. However, if she had not yet reached nine years of age, or was slightly younger than that at the time he consummated the marriage and deflowered her, then he has caused her harm and rendered her unfit for other marriages. In such a case, it is upon the Imam to impose upon him the payment of her full dowry. But if he keeps her and does not divorce her until she dies, then there is no liability upon him."

4494 - وَ سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنِ اَلْعَزْلِ قَالَ "اَلْمَاءُ لِلرَّجُلِ يَصْرِفُهُ حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ".

Hadith.4495 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Abdur-Rahman ibn Abi Abdillah, who said: Abu Abdillah (as) said: "A woman can be returned (in marriage) for four reasons; leprosy, vitiligo, insanity, and genital defects (imperforation or obstruction), as long as the marriage has not been consummated. However, if consummation has taken place, then she cannot be returned."

4496 - وَ سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ إِلَى قَوْمٍ اِمْرَأَةً فَوَجَدَهَا عَوْرَاءَ وَ لَمْ يُبَيِّنُوا أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّهَا قَالَ "لاَ يَرُدَّهَا إِنَّمَا يُرَدُّ اَلنِّكَاحُ مِنَ اَلْجُنُونِ وَ اَلْجُذَامِ وَ اَلْبَرَصِ" قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ "لَهَا اَلْمَهْرُ بِمَا اِسْتَحَلَّ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا وَ يَغْرَمُ وَلِيُّهَا اَلَّذِي أَنْكَحَهَا مِثْلَ مَا سَاقَهُ".

Hadith.4496 - Muhammad ibn Muslim asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a man who married a woman from a family and later found her to be one-eyed, but they had not disclosed this to him. Does he have the right to return her? Imam (as) said: "He cannot return her. Marriage can only be annulled for reasons of insanity, leprosy, and vitiligo." I said: What if he has already consummated the marriage with her? What should he do then? He (as) said: "She is entitled to her dowry for what has been made lawful to him from her private parts. However her guardian, who married her off, must compensate him with an amount equal to what he paid as dowry."

Hadith.4498 - Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah (as), who said regarding a man who marries into a family and finds that his wife is one-eyed, and they did not disclose this to him: "She cannot be returned. Only marriage can be annulled due to vitiligo, leprosy, insanity, or defects of the genitalia (impairing intimacy)." I asked: "What if he has already consummated the marriage? What happens to her dowry?" Imam (as) replied: "The dowry is hers because he has made lawful what was private to her. Her guardian who arranged the marriage must compensate him with an amount equal to what he gave as dowry."

Hadith.4499 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Salih, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (as) about a man who married a woman and later found her to have a genital defect (imperforation or obstruction). Imam (as) said: "Such a woman cannot conceive and should be returned to her family." I said: What if he had already consummated the marriage with her? Imam (as) said: "If he knew about the defect before having relations with her and still proceeded, then he has accepted her. However, if he only discovered it after consummating the marriage, then he has the choice to either keep her or return her to her family.

Hadith.4500 - Abdullah ibn Jafar al-Himyari narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Malik, who said: I wrote to Abu al-Hasan (as) about a man who had married his daughter to another man. Initially, he was pleased with him, but later he lost interest in him and wished to separate his daughter from him. However, the son-in-law refused to comply and did not agree to divorce her. The father then demanded the dowry of his daughter from him to compel him to agree to the divorce. The father's intention was to free his daughter from the marriage. When the dowry was demanded, the son-in-law agreed to the divorce. Imam (as) wrote in reply: "If the disinterest is based on religious grounds, then let him seek to free himself from the situation. However, if it is for any other reason, he should not interfere in the matter."

4501 - رَوَى اَلْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ اَلْقَصَبَانِيُّ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ اَلْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: ۝ وَ اَلْوٰالِدٰاتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلاٰدَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كٰامِلَيْنِ ۝ قَالَ "مَا دَامَ اَلْوَلَدُ فِي اَلرَّضَاعِ فَهُوَ بَيْنَ اَلْأَبَوَيْنِ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ فَإِذَا فُطِمَ فَالْأَبُ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنَ اَلْأُمِّ فَإِذَا مَاتَ اَلْأَبُ فَالْأُمُّ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنَ اَلْعَصَبَةِ وَ إِنْ وَجَدَ اَلْأَبُ مَنْ يُرْضِعُهُ بِأَرْبَعَةِ دَرَاهِمَ فَقَالَتِ اَلْأُمُّ لاَ أُرْضِعُهُ إِلاَّ بِخَمْسَةِ دَرَاهِمَ فَإِنَّ لَهُ أَنْ يَنْزِعَهُ مِنْهَا إِلاَّ أَنَّ خَيْراً لَهُ وَ أَرْفَقَ بِهِ أَنْ يَذَرَهُ مَعَ أُمِّهِ".

Hadith.4501 - Al-Abbas ibn Amir al-Qasbani narrated from Dawud ibn al-Husayn, from Abu Abdillah (as) regarding the saying of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic: "And the mothers shall suckle their children for two full years." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:233) Imam (as) said: "As long as the child is being nursed, the parents share equal rights over it. But when the child is weaned, the father has more right to it than the mother. However, if the father dies, the mother has more right to the child than the paternal relatives. If the father finds someone to nurse the child for four dirhams, and the mother says, 'I will not nurse him except for five dirhams,' then he has the right to take the child away from her. Nevertheless, it is better and more beneficial for the child to remain with its mother."

4502 - وَ رَوَى سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ اَلْمِنْقَرِيُّ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ وَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَدٌ أَيُّهُمَا أَحَقُّ بِهِ قَالَ "اَلْمَرْأَةُ مَا لَمْ تَتَزَوَّجْ".

Hadith.4503 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Ayyub, from Al-Fudhayl ibn Yasar, from Abu Abdillah (as), who said: "Any free woman who marries a slave and bears children from him, she has more right to her children than he does, and the children are free. However, if the man is emancipated, then he has more right to his children than she does because of his position as their father."

She must not give anything in charity from his house except with his permission, and she must not observe voluntary fasting except with his permission. She must not deny him herself, even if she is on the back of a camel. She must not leave her house without his permission. If she leaves without his permission, the angels of the heavens, the angels of the earth, the angels of wrath, and the angels of mercy will curse her until she returns to her house." She then asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), who has the greatest right over a man?" He (sw) said: "His parents." She asked: "And who has the greatest right over a woman?" He (sw) said: "Her husband." She then asked: "Do I have the same right over him as he has over me?" He (sw) replied: "No, not even one out of a hundred." She said: "By the One who sent you as a Prophet with truth, no man will ever have control over my neck!"

Her father became ill, so the woman sent a message to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) saying: "My husband has gone out and instructed me not to leave my house until he returns, but my father is ill. Do you command me to visit him?" The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "No, stay in your house and obey your husband." Then her father died, so she sent another message, saying: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), my father has died. Do you command me to perform the funeral prayer for him?" He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "No, stay in your house and obey your husband." After the man was buried, the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) sent her a message saying: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has forgiven you and your father because of your obedience to your husband."

Imam (as) said: "When you have commanded them and forbidden them, then you have fulfilled your responsibility."

Hadith.4536 - Durays al-Kunasi narrated from Abu Abdillah (as) who said: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) for some need, and he said to her: "Perhaps you are one of those who delay (their husbands)?" She asked: "And who are those who delay, O Messenger of Allah (swt)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "A woman whose husband calls her for some need, but she keeps delaying him until he becomes drowsy and falls asleep. Such a woman is continuously cursed by the angels until her husband wakes up."

4543 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ شُرَيْسٍ اَلْوَابِشِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي: "إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اَلْغَيْرَةَ لِلنِّسَاءِ وَ إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ اَلْغَيْرَةَ لِلرِّجَالِ لِأَنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ أَحَلَّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَرْبَعَ حَرَائِرَ وَ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ إِلاَّ زَوْجَهَا وَحْدَهُ فَإِنْ بَغَتْ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا غَيْرَهُ كَانَتْ عِنْدَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ زَانِيَةً وَ إِنَّمَا تَغَارُ اَلْمُنْكِرَاتُ مِنْهُنَّ فَأَمَّا اَلْمُؤْمِنَاتُ فَلاَ".

Hadith.4543 - Muhammad ibn al-Fudhayl narrated from Shurayh al-Wabishi, from Jabir, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) who said: Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, has not ordained jealousy (ghayrah) for women, but He (swt) has ordained jealousy for men, because Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, has permitted a man to marry four free women and what his right hand possesses, whereas He (swt) has made lawful for a woman only her husband. So if a woman seeks another besides her husband while being married to him, she is considered by Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, as an adulteress. Jealousy is found among those who act contrary to what is proper, but as for believing women, they do not exhibit such jealousy."

4544 - رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لاِمْرَأَةٍ سَأَلَتْهُ أَنَّ لِي زَوْجاً وَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ غِلْظَةٌ وَ إِنِّي صَنَعْتُ شَيْئاً لِأُعَطِّفَهُ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "أُفٍّ لَكِ كَدَّرْتِ اَلْبِحَارَ وَ كَدَّرْتِ اَلطِّينَ وَ لَعَنَتْكِ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةُ اَلْأَخْيَارُ وَ مَلاَئِكَةُ اَلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضِ" قَالَ فَصَامَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ نَهَارَهَا وَ قَامَتْ لَيْلَهَا وَ حَلَقَتْ رَأْسَهَا وَ لَبِسَتِ اَلْمُسُوحَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَالَ "إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا".

Hadith.4544 - Ismail ibn Muslim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), from his forefathers (peace be upon them), who said: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and said: "I have a husband who is harsh with me, and I made something (a charm or spell) to make him more affectionate toward me." The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to her: "Woe to you! You have polluted the seas, corrupted the earth, and the righteous angels and the angels of the heavens and the earth have cursed you." The woman then fasted during the day, prayed during the night, shaved her head, and wore rough clothing as an act of repentance. When this was reported to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), he said: "None of this will be accepted from her."

4545 - رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَشْتَرِي اَلْجَارِيَةَ مِنَ اَلرَّجُلِ اَلْمَأْمُونِ فَيُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا مُنْذُ طَمِثَتْ عِنْدَهُ وَ طَهُرَتْ قَالَ "لَيْسَ بِجَائِزٍ أَنْ تَأْتِيَهَا حَتَّى تَسْتَبْرِئَهَا بِحَيْضَةٍ وَ لَكِنْ يَجُوزُ لَكَ مَا دُونَ اَلْفَرْجِ إِنَّ اَلَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ اَلْإِمَاءَ ثُمَّ يَأْتُونَهُنَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَبْرِءُوهُنَّ فَأُولَئِكَ اَلزُّنَاةُ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ".

Hadith.4545 - Abdullah ibn al-Qasim narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (as): "I purchase a bondwoman from a trustworthy man who informs me that he has not touched her since she menstruated and then purified herself. Is it permissible for me to have relations with her?" Imam (as) said: "It is not permissible for you to have relations with her until she undergoes one menstrual cycle (for istibra'). However, you are allowed to engage in activities other than intercourse. Indeed, those who purchase bondwomans and have relations with them before ensuring they are free from pregnancy through istibra', such people are committing adultery with their wealth."

4546 - وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "إِذَا اِشْتَرَى اَلرَّجُلُ جَارِيَةً وَ هِيَ لَمْ تُدْرِكْ أَوْ قَدْ يَئِسَتْ مِنَ اَلْحَيْضِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ لاَ يَسْتَبْرِئَهَا".

Hadith.4546 - Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said: "If a man purchases a bondwoman who has not yet reached maturity or has passed the age of menstruation, then there is no harm if he does not observe an istibra' (waiting period) for her."

4547 - وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِشْتَرَى جَارِيَةً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ صَاحِبُهَا يَطَؤُهَا أَ يَسْتَبْرِئُ رَحِمَهَا قَالَ "نَعَمْ" قُلْتُ جَارِيَةٌ لَمْ تَحِضْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ بِهَا قَالَ "أَمْرُهَا شَدِيدٌ فَإِنْ أَتَاهَا فَلاَ يُنْزِلْ حَتَّى يَسْتَبِينَ لَهُ أَنَّهَا حُبْلَى أَوْ لاَ " قُلْتُ لَهُ فِي كَمْ يَسْتَبِينُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ "فِي خَمْسٍ وَ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً".

Hadith.4547 - Al-Alaa narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: I asked him about a man who purchased a bondwoman and her previous owner had not had relations with her. Should he still observe an istibra' (waiting period) for her womb? Imam (as) said: "Yes." I asked: "What about a bondwoman who has not yet menstruated? What should he do with her?" Imam (as) said: "Her matter is more severe. If he has relations with her, he must not ejaculate until it becomes clear whether she is pregnant or not." I asked: "How long will it take for this to become clear?" Imam (as) said: "In forty-five nights."

4548 - رَوَى مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ عَبْدُهُ اِمْرَأَةً بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ فَدَخَلَ بِهَا ثُمَّ اِطَّلَعَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَوْلاَهُ قَالَ "ذَلِكَ لِمَوْلاَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ إِنْ شَاءَ أَجَازَ نِكَاحَهُمَا فَإِنْ فَعَلَ وَ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَلِلْمَرْأَةِ مَا أَصْدَقَهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ اِعْتَدَى فَأَصْدَقَهَا صَدَاقاً كَثِيراً فَإِنْ أَجَازَ نِكَاحَهُ فَهُمَا عَلَى نِكَاحِهِمَا اَلْأَوَّلِ" فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَإِنَّهُ فِي أَصْلِ اَلنِّكَاحِ كَانَ عَاصِياً فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "إِنَّمَا أَتَى شَيْئاً حَلاَلاً وَ لَيْسَ بِعَاصٍ لِلَّهِ إِنَّمَا عَصَى سَيِّدَهُ وَ لَمْ يَعْصِ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ كَإِتْيَانِهِ مَا حَرَّمَ اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ نِكَاحٍ فِي عِدَّةٍ وَ أَشْبَاهِ ذَلِكَ".

Hadith.4548 - Musa ibn Bakr narrated from Zurara, who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a man whose slave married a woman without his permission and then consummated the marriage. Later, the master found out about it. Imam (as) said: "It is up to the master - if he wishes, he can separate them, and if he wishes, he can approve their marriage. If the master separates them, the woman is entitled to whatever dowry was given to her unless it was excessive, in which case it is reduced. But if the master approves their marriage, they remain upon their original marriage contract." I then said to Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): "Was the slave sinful in entering into the marriage without permission in the first place?" Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) replied: "What he did was something permissible and lawful; he did not disobey Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. Rather, he disobeyed his master but did not violate any law of Allah (swt). This is not like committing something forbidden by Allah (swt), such as marrying a woman who is in her waiting period or similar acts."

4549 - وَ رَوَى أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ أَنَّ رَجُلاً يُقَالُ لَهُ اِبْنُ زِيَادٍ اَلطَّائِيُّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ رَجُلاً مَمْلُوكاً فَتَزَوَّجْتُ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ مَوَالِيَّ ثُمَّ أَعْتَقَنِي اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَأُجَدِّدُ اَلنِّكَاحَ فَقَالَ "كَانُوا عَلِمُوا أَنَّكَ تَزَوَّجْتَ" قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَدْ عَلِمُوا وَ سَكَتُوا وَ لَمْ يَقُولُوا لِي شَيْئاً فَقَالَ "ذَلِكَ إِقْرَارٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنْتَ عَلَى نِكَاحِكَ".

Hadith.4549 - Aban ibn Uthman narrated that a man named Ibn Ziyad al-Ta'i said: I said to Abu Abdillah (as): "I was a slave and got married without the permission of my masters. Then Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, granted me freedom. Should I renew the marriage contract?" Imam (as) said: "Were they aware that you had married?" I said: "Yes, they knew and remained silent without objecting." Imam (as) said: "Their silence is considered approval. You remain upon your original marriage contract."

4550 - رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِشْتَرَى جَارِيَةً حَامِلاً قَدِ اِسْتَبَانَ حَمْلُهَا فَوَطِئَهَا قَالَ "بِئْسَ مَا صَنَعَ " فَقُلْتُ مَا تَقُولُ فِيهَا قَالَ "عَزَلَ عَنْهَا أَمْ لاَ" قُلْتُ أَجِبْنِي فِي اَلْوَجْهَيْنِ فَقَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ عَزَلَ عَنْهَا فَلْيَتَّقِ اَللَّهَ وَ لاَ يَعُدْ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يَعْزِلْ عَنْهَا فَلاَ يَبِيعُ ذَلِكَ اَلْوَلَدَ وَ لاَ يُوَرِّثُهُ وَ لَكِنْ يُعْتِقُهُ وَ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ شَيْئاً مِنْ مَالِهِ يَعِيشُ بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ غَذَّاهُ بِنُطْفَتِهِ".

Hadith.4550 - Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said: I asked Abu al-Hasan (as) about a man who purchased a pregnant slave whose pregnancy was evident and had relations with her. Imam (as) said: "What he did was a reprehensible act." I said: "What is your ruling in this matter?" Imam (as) said: "Did he practice withdrawal (coitus interruptus) or not?" I said: "Please explain the ruling in both cases." Imam (as) said: "If he practiced withdrawal, then he must fear Allah (swt) and never repeat this action. But if he did not practice withdrawal, he must not sell the child, nor consider the child an inheritor. Instead, he must emancipate the child and allocate some of his wealth to provide for the child's living expenses, because he has nourished the child with his own seed."

4551 - رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ أُخْتَانِ مَمْلُوكَتَانِ فَوَطِئَ إِحْدَاهُمَا ثُمَّ وَطِئَ اَلْأُخْرَى قَالَ "إِذَا وَطِئَ اَلْأُخْرَى فَقَدْ حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْأُولَى حَتَّى تَمُوتَ اَلْأُخْرَى " قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ بَاعَهَا أَ تَحِلُّ لَهُ اَلْأُولَى قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ بَاعَهَا لِحَاجَةٍ وَ لاَ يَخْطُرُ عَلَى بَالِهِ مِنَ اَلْأُخْرَى شَيْءٌ فَلاَ أَرَى بِذَلِكَ بَأْساً وَ إِنْ كَانَ يَبِيعُهَا لِيَرْجِعَ إِلَى اَلْأُولَى فَلاَ وَ لاَ كَرَامَةَ".

Hadith.4551 - Al-Alaa narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said: I asked him about a man who owned two slave sisters and had relations with one of them, then later had relations with the other. Imam (as) said: "If he has relations with the second one, then the first becomes prohibited for him until the second one dies." I said: "What if he sells the second one? Does the first then become permissible for him?" Imam (as) said: "If he sold her due to a need and without intending to return to the first one, then I see no harm in it. But if he sold her with the intention of returning to the first one, then no, and may he have no honor in doing so."

4552 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَشْتَرِي اَلْأُخْتَيْنِ فَيَطَأُ إِحْدَاهُمَا ثُمَّ يَطَأُ اَلْأُخْرَى قَالَ "إِذَا وَطِئَ اَلْأُخْرَى بِجَهَالَةٍ لَمْ تَحْرُمْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْأُولَى فَإِنْ وَطِئَ اَلْأَخِيرَةَ وَ هُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا تَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ حَرُمَتَا عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعاً".

Hadith.4552 - In a narration from Ali ibn Ri'ab, from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah (as), he said: I asked him about a man who purchases two sisters and has relations with one of them, then has relations with the other. Imam (as) said: "If he had relations with the second one out of ignorance, the first does not become prohibited for him. However, if he had relations with the second one while knowing that it is prohibited, then both of them become prohibited for him."

4553 - رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ كَيْفَ يُنْكِحُ عَبْدَهُ أَمَتَهُ قَالَ "يُجْزِيهِ أَنْ يَقُولَ قَدْ أَنْكَحْتُكَ فُلاَنَةَ وَ يُعْطِيهَا مَا شَاءَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ أَوْ مِنْ قِبَلِ مَوْلاَهُ وَ لاَ بُدَّ مِنْ طَعَامٍ أَوْ دِرْهَمٍ أَوْ نَحْوِ ذَلِكَ وَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ فَيَشْتَرِيَ مِنْ مَالِهِ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ جَارِيَةً أَوْ جَوَارِيَ يَطَؤُهُنَّ".

Hadith.4553 - Al-Alaa narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said: I asked him how a man can marry his slave to his bondwoman. Imam (as) said: "It is sufficient for him to say, 'I have married you to so-and-so,' and to give her whatever he wishes, either from himself or from her master. There must be something given, whether it be food, a dirham, or something similar. There is also no harm if he permits the slave to purchase a bondwoman from his own wealth, if he has any, to have relations with her."

4554 - رَوَى زُرْعَةُ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلَيْنِ بَيْنَهُمَا أَمَةٌ فَزَوَّجَاهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّ اَلرَّجُلَ اِشْتَرَى بَعْضَ اَلسَّهْمَيْنِ قَالَ "حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْهِ بِاشْتِرَائِهِ إِيَّاهَا وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ بَيْعَهَا طَلاَقُهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَهَا جَمِيعاً ".

Hadith.4554 - Zur'ah narrated from Sama'ah, who said: I asked him about two men who jointly owned a bondwoman and married her to another man. Then, one of the two owners purchased the other's share. Imam (as) said: "She becomes prohibited for him by his purchase of her, because buying her is equivalent to divorcing her, unless he purchases her completely."

4555 - وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "أَيُّمَا اِمْرَأَةٍ حُرَّةٍ زَوَّجَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَبْداً بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ مَوَالِيهِ فَقَدْ أَبَاحَتْ فَرْجَهَا وَ لاَ صَدَاقَ لَهَا".

Hadith.4555 - Ismail ibn Abi Ziyad narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), from his forefathers (peace be upon them) that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "Any free woman who marries herself to a slave without the permission of his masters has made her private parts permissible unlawfully, and she is not entitled to a dowry."

4556 - رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِشْتَرَى جَارِيَةً مُدْرِكَةً وَ لَمْ تَحِضْ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى مَضَى لَهَا سِتَّةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ لَيْسَ بِهَا حَبَلٌ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ مِثْلُهَا تَحِيضُ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ كِبَرٍ فَهَذَا عَيْبٌ تُرَدُّ مِنْهُ".

Hadith.4556 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Malik ibn Atiyyah, from Dawud ibn Farqad, from Abu Abdillah (as), who said: I asked him about a man who purchased a mature bondwoman who had not menstruated while with him for six months, and there was no sign of pregnancy. Imam (as) said: "If it is customary for someone like her to menstruate, and her condition is not due to old age, then this is a defect for which she can be returned."

4557 - وَ رَوَى أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّيْقَلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ وَ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِشْتَرَى جَارِيَةً ثُمَّ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَبْرِئَ رَحِمَهَا قَالَ "بِئْسَ مَا صَنَعَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اَللَّهَ وَ لاَ يَعُودُ" قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ بَاعَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا وَ لَمْ يَسْتَبْرِئْ رَحِمَهَا ثُمَّ بَاعَهَا اَلثَّانِي مِنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا وَ لَمْ يَسْتَبْرِئْ رَحِمَهَا، فَاسْتَبَانَ حَمْلُهَا عِنْدَ اَلثَّالِثِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "اَلْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَ لِلْعَاهِرِ اَلْحَجَرُ".

Hadith.4557 - Aban ibn Uthman narrated from Al-Hasan al-Sayqal, from Abu Abdillah (as), who said: I heard him being asked about a man who purchased a bondwoman and had relations with her before observing an istibra' (waiting period) to ensure she was not pregnant. Imam (as) said: "What he did was wrong. He should seek forgiveness from Allah (swt) and not repeat it." Then it was said: "What if he sold her to another man, who also had relations with her without observing an istibra'? Then the second man sold her to a third man, who also had relations with her without observing an istibra', and it later became clear that she was pregnant while with the third man?" Abu Abdillah (as) said: "The child belongs to the [current] owner of the bed (al-firash), and for the adulterer (al-ahir), there is nothing but loss (al-hajar)."

4558 - وَ رَوَى وَهْبُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "مَنِ اِتَّخَذَ مِنَ اَلْإِمَاءِ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يَنْكِحُ أَوْ يُنْكِحُ فَالْإِثْمُ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ بَغَيْنَ".

Hadith.4558 - Wahb ibn Wahb narrated from Jafar ibn Muhammad, from his father (as), who said: Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Whoever acquires more bondwomen than he can marry or give in marriage, then the sin is upon him if they commit immorality."

4559 - وَ رَوَى هَارُونُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "يَحْرُمُ مِنَ اَلْإِمَاءِ عَشْرٌ لاَ تَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ اَلْأُمِّ وَ اَلاِبْنَةِ وَ لاَ بَيْنَ اَلْأُخْتَيْنِ وَ لاَ أَمَتَكَ وَ هِيَ حَامِلٌ مِنْ غَيْرِكَ حَتَّى تَضَعَ وَ لاَ أَمَتَكَ وَ هِيَ عَمَّتُكَ مِنَ اَلرَّضَاعَةِ وَ لاَ أَمَتَكَ وَ هِيَ خَالَتُكَ مِنَ اَلرَّضَاعَةِ وَ لاَ أَمَتَكَ وَ هِيَ أُخْتُكَ مِنَ اَلرَّضَاعَةِ وَ لاَ أَمَتَكَ وَ هِيَ اِبْنَةُ أَخِيكَ مِنَ اَلرَّضَاعَةِ وَ لاَ أَمَتَكَ وَ لَهَا زَوْجٌ وَ لاَ أَمَتَكَ وَ هِيَ فِي عِدَّةٍ وَ لاَ أَمَتَكَ وَ لَكَ فِيهَا شَرِيكٌ ".

Hadith.4559 - Harun ibn Muslim narrated from Masadah ibn Ziyad, who said: Abu Abdillah (as) said: "Ten categories of bondwomen are prohibited: You may not combine between a mother and her daughter. You may not combine between two sisters. You may not take your bondwoman if she is pregnant by another until she delivers. You may not take your bondwoman if she is your paternal aunt through breastfeeding. You may not take your bondwoman if she is your maternal aunt through breastfeeding. You may not take your bondwoman if she is your sister through breastfeeding. You may not take your bondwoman if she is the daughter of your brother through breastfeeding. You may not take your bondwoman if she has a husband. You may not take your bondwoman if she is in her waiting period (iddah). You may not take your bondwoman if you share ownership of her with another."

Hadith.4560 - Dawud ibn al-Husayn narrated from Abu al-Abbas al-Baqbaq, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (as): "Can a man marry a bondwoman without the knowledge of her owners?" Imam (as) said: "That is considered fornication. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'Then marry them with the permission of their owners' (Surah An-Nisa, 4:25)."

4561 - وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَنَّ اَلْوَلَدَ لاَ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ مَالِ وَالِدِهِ شَيْئاً وَ يَأْخُذُ اَلْوَالِدُ مِنْ مَالِ وَلَدِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ وَ لَهُ أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَى جَارِيَةِ اِبْنِهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ اَلاِبْنُ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا".

Additionally, a father is permitted to have relations with the bondwoman of his son, provided that the son has not had relations with her."

4562 - وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ: "لاَ يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يَقَعَ عَلَى جَارِيَةِ اِبْنَتِهِ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهَا".

Hadith.4563 - Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj and Hafs ibn al-Bakhtari asked Abu Abdillah (as) about a man who owns a bondwoman-does she become permissible for his son? Imam (as) said: "As long as there has been no intercourse or intimate contact similar to intercourse, then there is no harm."

4564 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "كَانَ لِأَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جَارِيَتَانِ تَقُومَانِ عَلَيْهِ فَوَهَبَ لِي إِحْدَاهُمَا".

Hadith.4565 - Imam (as) was asked about what is permissible for a male slave in terms of women. Imam (as) said: "Two free women or four bondwomen."

4566 - وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ لَهُ جَارِيَةٌ وَ كَانَ يَأْتِيهَا فَبَاعَهَا فَأُعْتِقَتْ وَ تَزَوَّجَتْ فَوَلَدَتْ اِبْنَةً هَلْ تَصْلُحُ اِبْنَتُهَا لِمَوْلاَهَا اَلْأَوَّلِ قَالَ "هِيَ عَلَيْهِ حَرَامٌ ".

Hadith.4566 - Al-Alaa narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Abdillah (as), who said: I asked him about a man who had a bondwoman with whom he had relations. He then sold her, and she was later freed and married, giving birth to a daughter. Is her daughter permissible for her former master? Imam (as) said: "She is forbidden to him."

4567 - وَ قَالَ: فِي جَارِيَةٍ لِرَجُلٍ وَ كَانَ يَأْتِيهَا فَأَسْقَطَتْ سِقْطاً مِنْهُ بَعْدَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ "هِيَ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ".

Hadith.4567 - Imam (as) said regarding a bondwoman who belonged to a man and with whom he had relations, and she miscarried his child after three months: "She is considered Umm Walad (the mother of his child)."

4568 - قَالَ: وَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ حُرَّةٍ تَزَوَّجَتْ عَبْداً عَلَى أَنَّهُ حُرٌّ ثُمَّ عَلِمَتْ بَعْدُ أَنَّهُ مَمْلُوكٌ قَالَ "هِيَ أَمْلَكُ بِنَفْسِهَا إِنْ شَاءَتْ بَعْدَ عِلْمِهَا أَقَرَّتْ بِهِ وَ أَقَامَتْ مَعَهُ وَ إِنْ شَاءَتْ لَمْ تُقِمْ وَ إِنْ كَانَ اَلْعَبْدُ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَلَهَا اَلصَّدَاقُ بِمَا اِسْتَحَلَّ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَالنِّكَاحُ بَاطِلٌ فَإِنْ أَقَرَّتْ مَعَهُ بَعْدَ عِلْمِهَا أَنَّهُ عَبْدٌ مَمْلُوكٌ فَهُوَ أَمْلَكُ بِهَا".

Hadith.4568 - I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a free woman who married a man thinking he was free, but later discovered that he was a slave. Imam (as) said: "She has authority over herself. After learning the truth, if she wishes, she may stay with him and accept him, or if she wishes, she may leave him. If the slave had consummated the marriage with her, then she is entitled to the dowry for what was made lawful to him from her. However, if he had not consummated the marriage, then the marriage is invalid. But if she chooses to remain with him after learning that he is a slave, then he has the right to keep her as his wife."

4569 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلٍ زَوَّجَ مَمْلُوكَةً لَهُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ حُرٍّ عَلَى أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَعَجَّلَ لَهُ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ أَخَّرَ عَنْهُ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ فَدَخَلَ بِهَا زَوْجُهَا ثُمَّ إِنَّ سَيِّدَهَا بَاعَهَا بَعْدُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ لِمَنْ تَكُونُ اَلْمِائَتَانِ اَلْمُؤَخَّرَتَانِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ "إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَوْفَاهَا بَقِيَّةَ اَلْمَهْرِ حَتَّى بَاعَهَا فَلاَ شَيْءَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ لاَ لِغَيْرِهِ وَ إِذَا بَاعَهَا اَلسَّيِّدُ فَقَدْ بَانَتْ مِنَ اَلزَّوْجِ اَلْحُرِّ إِذَا كَانَ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا اَلْأَمْرَ".

Hadith.4569 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Sadan ibn Muslim, from Abu Basir, from one of the Imams (peace be upon them), regarding a man who married his bondwoman to a free man for a dowry of four hundred dirhams. He paid two hundred dirhams in advance and delayed the payment of the remaining two hundred dirhams. The husband then consummated the marriage with her. Later, her master sold her to another man. Who is responsible for the remaining two hundred dirhams? Imam (as) said: "If the husband did not pay the remainder of the dowry before she was sold, then neither he nor anyone else owes it. And when her master sold her, she became separated from the free husband, provided he was aware of this ruling."

4570 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ مَمْلُوكٍ لِرَجُلٍ أَبَقَ مِنْهُ فَأَتَى أَرْضاً فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ حُرٌّ مِنْ رَهْطِ بَنِي فُلاَنٍ وَ أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ تِلْكَ اَلْأَرْضِ فَأَوْلَدَهَا أَوْلاَداً وَ أَنَّ اَلْمَرْأَةَ مَاتَتْ وَ تَرَكَتْ فِي يَدِهِ مَالاً وَ ضَيْعَةً وَ وَلَدَهَا ثُمَّ إِنَّ سَيِّدَهُ بَعْدُ أَتَى تِلْكَ اَلْأَرْضَ فَأَخَذَ اَلْعَبْدَ وَ جَمِيعَ مَا فِي يَدِهِ وَ أَذْعَنَ لَهُ اَلْعَبْدُ بِالرِّقِّ فَقَالَ "أَمَّا اَلْعَبْدُ فَعَبْدُهُ وَ أَمَّا اَلْمَالُ وَ اَلضَّيْعَةُ فَإِنَّهُ لِوَلَدِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ اَلْمَيِّتَةِ لاَ يَرِثُ عَبْدٌ حُرّاً" قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ يَوْمَ مَاتَتْ وَلَدٌ وَ لاَ وَارِثٌ لِمَنْ يَكُونُ اَلْمَالُ وَ اَلضَّيْعَةُ اَلَّتِي تَرَكَتْهَا فِي يَدِ اَلْعَبْدِ فَقَالَ "يَكُونُ جَمِيعُ مَا تَرَكَتْ لِإِمَامِ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ خَاصَّةً".

Hadith.4570 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Al-Alaa, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a slave belonging to a man who fled and went to another land. There, he claimed to be a free man from a certain tribe and married a woman from that land, fathered children with her, and then she died, leaving behind wealth, property, and her children in his care. Later, his master came to that land, reclaimed the slave and all that was in his possession, and the slave admitted to being his property. Imam (as) said: "As for the slave, he belongs to his master. However, the wealth and property belong to the children of the deceased woman. A slave does not inherit from a free person." I said: "May I be your ransom! What if the woman had no children or heirs when she died? Who would the wealth and property belong to?" Imam (as) said: "All that she left behind would belong exclusively to the Imam of the Muslims."

4571 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَكَمٍ اَلْأَعْمَى وَ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَذِنَ لِغُلاَمِهِ فِي اِمْرَأَةٍ حُرَّةٍ فَتَزَوَّجَهَا ثُمَّ إِنَّ اَلْعَبْدَ أَبَقَ مِنْ مَوَالِيهِ فَجَاءَتِ اِمْرَأَةُ اَلْعَبْدِ تَطْلُبُ نَفَقَتَهَا مِنْ مَوْلَى اَلْعَبْدِ فَقَالَ "لَيْسَ لَهَا عَلَى مَوْلَى اَلْعَبْدِ نَفَقَةٌ وَ قَدْ بَانَتْ عِصْمَتُهَا مِنْهُ لِأَنَّ إِبَاقَ اَلْعَبْدِ طَلاَقُ اِمْرَأَتِهِ وَ هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلْمُرْتَدِّ عَنِ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ " قُلْتُ فَإِنْ هُوَ رَجَعَ إِلَى مَوْلاَهُ أَ تَرْجِعُ اِمْرَأَتُهُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ اِنْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا مِنْهُ ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجَتْ زَوْجاً غَيْرَهُ فَلاَ سَبِيلَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَمْ تَتَزَوَّجْ فَهِيَ اِمْرَأَتُهُ عَلَى اَلنِّكَاحِ اَلْأَوَّلِ".

Hadith.4571 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Hakam al-Ama and Hisham ibn Salim, from Ammar al-Sabati, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (as) about a man who permitted his slave to marry a free woman. The slave then fled from his master, and the wife of the slave came seeking maintenance from the master of the slave. Imam (as) said: "She has no right to maintenance from the master of the slave, and her marriage bond with the slave is severed, because the slave's escape is considered a divorce, and he is like one who has apostatized from Islam." I asked: "If the slave returns to his master, does his wife return to him?" Imam (as) said: "If her waiting period (iddah) has ended and she has married another husband, then he has no claim over her. However, if she has not married another, she remains his wife based on the original marriage contract."

4572 - وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "قَضَى أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي اِمْرَأَةٍ أَمْكَنَتْ مِنْ نَفْسِهَا عَبْداً لَهَا فَنَكَحَهَا "أَنْ تُضْرَبَ مِائَةً وَ يُضْرَبَ اَلْعَبْدُ خَمْسِينَ جَلْدَةً وَ أَنْ يُبَاعَ بِصُغْرٍ مِنْهَا" وَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَبِيعَهَا عَبْداً مُدْرِكاً بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ".

Hadith.4572 - Al-Alaa narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said: "Commander of the Faithful (as) ruled in the case of a woman who allowed her slave to have relations with her and married him: She is to be given one hundred lashes, and the slave is to be given fifty lashes. The slave is then to be sold in a manner that ensures he is distanced from her (bi-sughrin minha). It is forbidden for any Muslim to sell her a mature slave after that incident."

4573 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلْعَزِيزِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي عَبْدٍ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ زَوَّجَهُ أَحَدُهُمَا وَ اَلْآخَرُ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ عَلِمَ بِهِ بَعْدُ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ "لِلَّذِي لَمْ يَعْلَمْ وَ لَمْ يَأْذَنْ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا إِذَا عَلِمَ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ عَلَى نِكَاحِهِ".

Hadith.4573 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abdul-Aziz, from Ubayd ibn Zurarah, from Abu Abdillah (as) regarding a slave jointly owned by two men - one of them married him off without the knowledge of the other. Later, the second owner found out about the marriage. Imam (as) said: "The one who was unaware and did not give permission has the right to annul the marriage when he learns about it. However, if he wishes, he may allow the marriage to remain valid."

4574 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلٍ يُزَوِّجُ مَمْلُوكاً لَهُ اِمْرَأَةً حُرَّةً عَلَى مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ بَاعَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ "يُعْطِيهَا سَيِّدُهُ مِنْ ثَمَنِهِ نِصْفَ مَا فَرَضَ لَهَا إِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ دَيْنٍ اِسْتَدَانَهُ بِإِذْنِ سَيِّدِهِ".

Hadith.4574 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah, from Abu al-Hasan (as) regarding a man who married his slave to a free woman for a dowry of one hundred dirhams. Then, before the slave consummated the marriage with her, the master sold him. Imam (as) said: "The master must give her half of the agreed dowry from the price he received for selling the slave. This is treated as a debt that the slave incurred with the permission of his master."

4575 - وَ سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ أَحَلَّتْ لِزَوْجِهَا جَارِيَتَهَا فَقَالَ "ذَلِكَ لَهُ" قَالَ فَإِنْ خَافَ أَنْ تَكُونَ تَمْزَحُ قَالَ "فَإِنْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا تَمْزَحُ فَلاَ".

Hadith.4575 - Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Bazi asked Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) about a woman who permitted her husband to have relations with her bondwoman. Imam (as) said: "That is permissible for him." He then asked: "What if he fears that she might be joking?" Imam (as) said: "If he knows that she is joking, then it is not permissible."

Hadith.4576 - Jamil narrated from Fudayl, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah (as): "May I be your ransom! Some of our companions have narrated from you that you said if a man permits his believing brother to have relations with his bondwoman, then she is lawful for him." Imam (as) said: "Yes, O Fudayl." I asked: "What do you say about a man who has a precious bondwoman who is a virgin, and he permits his brother to enjoy her, but only in ways other than intercourse? Is it permissible for him to deflower her?" Imam (as) said: "No, he is only allowed what has been made lawful for him. Even if he permitted him only to kiss her, nothing beyond that would be lawful for him." I asked: "What if he permitted him everything except intercourse, but his desire overcame him, and he deflowered her?" Imam (as) said: "He should not do that." I asked: "If he did, would he be considered a fornicator?" Imam (as) said: "No, but he would be a betrayer and must compensate the owner of the bondwoman with one-tenth of her value."

4577 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ ضُرَيْسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْمَلِكِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُحِلُّ لِأَخِيهِ جَارِيَتَهُ وَ هِيَ تَخْرُجُ فِي حَوَائِجِهِ قَالَ "هِيَ لَهُ حَلاَلٌ" قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ جَاءَتْ بِوَلَدٍ مَا يَصْنَعُ بِهِ قَالَ "هُوَ لِمَوْلَى اَلْجَارِيَةِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدِ اِشْتَرَطَ عَلَيْهِ حِينَ أَحَلَّهَا لَهُ أَنَّهَا إِنْ جَاءَتْ بِوَلَدٍ مِنِّي فَهُوَ حُرٌّ فَإِنْ كَانَ فَعَلَ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ" قُلْتُ فَيَمْلِكُ وَلَدَهُ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ اِشْتَرَاهُ بِالْقِيمَةِ".

Hadith.4577 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Jamil ibn Darraj, from Durays ibn Abdul-Malik, from Abu Abdillah (as) regarding a man who permits his brother to have relations with his bondwoman, and she goes out to fulfill his needs. Imam (as) said: "She is lawful for him." I asked: "What if she gives birth to a child? What should be done with the child?" Imam (as) said: "The child belongs to the owner of the bondwoman unless he stipulated at the time he permitted her that if she gives birth to a child from him, then the child is free. If he made such a condition, then the child is free." I asked: "Can he own his child?" Imam (as) said: "If he has wealth, he can purchase the child at its value."

Hadith.4578 - Sulayman al-Farra' narrated from Hariz, from Zurara, who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a man who permits his brother to have relations with his bondwoman. Imam (as) said: "There is no harm in it." I asked: "What if she gives birth to a child?" Imam (as) said: "Let him take his child and return the bondwoman to her owner." I said: "But what if he did not permit him to do that?" Imam (as) said: "By granting permission, he has implicitly allowed it, and he cannot guarantee that such an outcome would not occur."

Hadith.4579 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Ri'ab, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a bondwoman jointly owned by two men, who both designated her as mudabbar (set to be freed after their death). Then, one of them permitted his partner to have relations with her. Imam (as) said: "She is lawful for him. If either of them dies before the other, then half of her becomes free from the one who died, and the other half remains mudabbar." I asked: "What if the surviving partner wishes to have relations with her? Is that permissible?" Imam (as) said: "No, unless her freedom is fully established, and then he marries her with her consent whenever he wishes." I asked: "Hasn't half of her already become free, making her the owner of half of herself, while the other half belongs to the surviving partner?" Imam (as) said: "Yes." I asked: "What if she permits her master to have relations with her?" Imam (as) said: "That is not permissible for him." I asked: "Why is it not permissible for her to do that, while you allowed the first owner to permit his partner to have relations with her?" Imam (as) said: "Because a woman cannot gift, lend, or permit her private parts. However, she has authority over herself for the day that she owns her freedom, and the one who designated her as mudabbar has authority over her for his day. If he wishes to marry her temporarily (mutah) for something, whether small or large, on the day that she owns her freedom, he may do so."

How can he deny it?" - emphasizing the gravity of such an act. The man then asked: "What if he suspects her (of wrongdoing)?" Imam Al-Ridha (as) replied: "You should not marry except a trustworthy woman. Verily, Allah (swt), the Exalted, said: 'The fornicator does not marry except a fornicatress or a polytheist, and the fornicatress does not marry except a fornicator or a polytheist, and this has been forbidden for the believers.'" (Surah Al-Nur, 24:3)

Hadith.4599 - Yunus ibn Abdul Rahman reported: I asked Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) about a man who married a woman in Mut'ah (temporary marriage). Later, her family came to know about it, and they married her off to another man in a public marriage, although she was a truthful woman. Imam (as) said: "She must not allow her new husband to approach her until her waiting period ('iddah) and contract have ended." I said: "What if her contract specifies a term of one year, and her new husband cannot wait that long?" Imam (as) said: "Then her husband should fear Allah (swt) and waive the remaining time for her. Indeed, she has been put to trial, and this world is a place of peace, and believers live in taqiyyah (dissimulation)." I asked: "What if he waives the remaining days for her, and her waiting period ends? What should she do?" Imam (as) said: "When she meets her new husband, she should say: 'O man, my family forced me and married me off without consulting me. But now, I am pleased. So, let us begin today with a new, proper marriage between us.'" I also asked Al-Ridha (as): "What about a woman who marries in Mut'ah, and after her contract ends, she marries another man before completing her waiting period?" Imam (as) said: "What concern is it to you? The sin of that act is upon her."

Hadith.4600 - Salih ibn Uqbah reported from his father, who reported from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): I asked him, "Is there a reward for Mut'ah?" He (as) replied: "If he seeks by it the pleasure of Allah (swt) Almighty and to oppose those who deny it, then Allah (swt) writes a good deed for him for every word he speaks to her. When he extends his hand toward her, Allah (swt) writes a good deed for him. When he approaches her, Allah (swt) forgives a sin for him. And when he performs ghusl (ritual purification), Allah (swt) forgives him a number of sins equal to the drops of water that pass over his hair." I asked: "Equal to the number of hairs?" He (as) replied: "Yes, equal to the number of hairs."

Hadith.4601 - Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said: "When the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) was taken up to the heavens (Mi'raj), Jibril (as) came to him and said: 'O Muhammad (as)! Verily, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, says: I have forgiven those among your followers who engage in Mut'ah with women.'"

4602 - وَ رَوَى بَكْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمُتْعَةِ فَقَالَ "إِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ لِلرَّجُلِ اَلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ اَلدُّنْيَا وَ قَدْ بَقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ خَلَّةٌ مِنْ خِلاَلِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لَمْ يَقْضِهَا ".

4603 - وَ رَوَى اَلْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْجَوْهَرِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ فِي كِتَابِ رَجُلٍ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ تَزَوَّجَ بِامْرَأَةٍ مُتْعَةً إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى فَإِذَا اِنْقَضَى اَلْأَجَلُ بَيْنَهُمَا هَلْ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ بِأُخْتِهَا فَقَالَ "لاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا".

Hadith.4603 - Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad al-Jawhari narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah: I read in a man's letter to Abu al-Hasan (as) about a man who married a woman in Mut'ah (temporary marriage) for a specified period. When the term between them ended, he asked whether it was permissible for him to marry her sister. Imam (as) replied: "It is not permissible for him until her waiting period ('iddah) has ended."

4604 - وَ سَأَلَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَزَوَّجُ اَلْمَرْأَةَ مُتْعَةً أَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ اِبْنَتَهَا بَتَاتاً قَالَ "لاَ".

4605 - وَ رَوَى مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "عِدَّةُ اَلْمُتْعَةِ خَمْسَةٌ وَ أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْماً" كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَعْقِدُ بِيَدِهِ خَمْسَةً وَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً "فَإِذَا جَاءَ اَلْأَجَلُ كَانَتْ فُرْقَةً بِغَيْرِ طَلاَقٍ".

Hadith.4605 - Musa ibn Bakr narrated from Zurara, who said: I heard Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) saying: "The waiting period ('Iddah) for Mut'ah (temporary marriage) is forty-five days."

4606 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا اَلرَّجُلُ مُتْعَةً ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا هَلْ عَلَيْهَا اَلْعِدَّةُ قَالَ "تَعْتَدُّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً فَإِذَا اِنْقَضَتْ أَيَّامُهَا وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ فَحَيْضَةٌ وَ نِصْفٌ مِثْلَ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى اَلْأَمَةِ" قَالَ قُلْتُ فَتُحِدُّ قَالَ "نَعَمْ وَ إِذَا مَكَثَتْ عِنْدَهُ يَوْماً أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ سَاعَةً مِنَ اَلنَّهَارِ فَقَدْ وَجَبَتِ اَلْعِدَّةُ وَ لاَ تُحِدُّ".

Hadith.4606 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Abdur-Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaj, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a woman who entered into a Mut'ah (temporary marriage) and then her husband passed away. Imam (as) said: "She must observe an 'Iddah (waiting period) of four months and ten days." Then Imam (as) continued: "If her term ends while he is still alive, her waiting period is one and a half menstrual cycles, similar to what is required for a female slave." I asked: "Does she need to observe mourning (Hadd)?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes, but if she stayed with him for a day, two days, or even just an hour during the day, the waiting period becomes obligatory, but mourning (Hadd) is not required."

4607 - وَ رَوَى عُمَرُ بْنُ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا عِدَّةُ اَلْمُتْعَةِ إِذَا مَاتَ عَنْهَا اَلَّذِي تَمَتَّعَ بِهَا قَالَ "أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً" قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ "يَا زُرَارَةُ كُلُّ نِكَاحٍ إِذَا مَاتَ عَنْهَا اَلزَّوْجُ فَعَلَى اَلْمَرْأَةِ حُرَّةً كَانَتْ أَوْ أَمَةً أَوْ عَلَى أَيِّ وَجْهٍ كَانَ اَلنِّكَاحُ مِنْهُ مُتْعَةً أَوْ تَزْوِيجاً أَوْ مِلْكَ يَمِينٍ فَالْعِدَّةُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً وَ عِدَّةُ اَلْمُطَلَّقَةِ ثَلاَثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ اَلْأَمَةُ اَلْمُطَلَّقَةُ عَلَيْهَا نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى اَلْحُرَّةِ وَ كَذَلِكَ اَلْمُتْعَةُ عَلَيْهَا مِثْلُ مَا عَلَى اَلْأَمَةِ".

Hadith.4607 - Umar ibn Udhaynah narrated from Zurara, who said: I asked Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about the waiting period ('Iddah) for a woman in a Mut'ah (temporary marriage) if her husband passes away. Imam (as) replied: "It is four months and ten days." Then Imam (as) continued: "O Zurara, for every type of marriage-whether the woman is free or a slave, and regardless of whether the marriage was permanent (Nikah), temporary (Mut'ah), or through ownership (Milk Yamin)-if the husband dies, the waiting period ('Iddah) is four months and ten days." "However, the waiting period ('Iddah) for a divorced woman is three months, and for a divorced female slave, it is half the waiting period of a free woman. Similarly, the waiting period ('Iddah) for a woman in Mut'ah is the same as that for a female slave."

4608 - : وَ قِيلَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِمَ جَعَلَ فِي اَلزِّنَا أَرْبَعَةً مِنَ اَلشُّهُودِ وَ فِي اَلْقَتْلِ شَاهِدَيْنِ قَالَ "إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَحَلَّ لَكُمُ اَلْمُتْعَةَ وَ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا سَتُنْكَرُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَجَعَلَ اَلْأَرْبَعَةَ اَلشُّهُودِ اِحْتِيَاطاً لَكُمْ وَ لَوْ لاَ ذَلِكَ لَأُتِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ قَلَّ مَا يَجْتَمِعُ أَرْبَعَةٌ عَلَى شَهَادَةٍ بِأَمْرٍ وَاحِدٍ".

Hadith.4608 - It was said to Abu Abdullah (as): "Why has Allah (swt) prescribed four witnesses for proving adultery (Zina) and only two witnesses for proving murder?" Imam (as) replied: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, has made Mut'ah (temporary marriage) lawful for you, and He (swt) knew that it would be denied and rejected by people. Therefore, He (swt) required four witnesses as a precaution for you. Had it not been for this requirement, people would have accused you unjustly. And it is rare for four people to come together and testify about the same matter."

4609 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ بَكَّارِ بْنِ كَرْدَمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَلْقَى اَلْمَرْأَةَ فَيَقُولُ لَهَا زَوِّجِينِي نَفْسَكِ شَهْراً وَ لاَ يُسَمِّي اَلشَّهْرَ بِعَيْنِهِ فَيَلْقَاهَا بَعْدَ سِنِينَ فَقَالَ "لَهُ شَهْرُهُ إِنْ كَانَ سَمَّاهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ سَمَّاهُ فَلاَ سَبِيلَ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا".

Hadith.4609 - It is narrated from Bakkar bin Kardam, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as): "A man meets a woman and says to her, 'Marry me to yourself for a month,' but he does not specify which month. Then he meets her again after several years-does he still have his month?" Imam (as) replied: "He has his month if he had specified it. However, if he did not specify it, then he has no claim over her."

4610 - وَ رَوَى زُرْعَةُ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَدْخَلَ جَارِيَةً يَتَمَتَّعُ بِهَا ثُمَّ أُنْسِيَ حَتَّى وَاقَعَهَا هَلْ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ حَدُّ اَلزَّانِي قَالَ "لاَ وَ لَكِنْ يَتَمَتَّعُ بِهَا بَعْدَ اَلنِّكَاحِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اَللَّهَ مِمَّا أَتَى".

Hadith.4610 - It is narrated from Zur'ah, from Sama'ah, who said: I asked him about a man who took a bondwoman for temporary marriage but forgot and had intercourse with her. Does he deserve the punishment of a fornicator? Imam (as) replied: "No, but he should perform the temporary marriage contract with her again and seek forgiveness from Allah (swt) for what he has done."

4611 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلتَّمَتُّعِ بِالْأَبْكَارِ قَالَ "هَلْ جُعِلَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ لَهُنَّ فَلْيَسْتَتِرْنَ مِنْهُ وَ لْيَسْتَعْفِفْنَ".

Hadith.4611 - It is narrated from Ali ibn Asbat, from Muhammad ibn Udhafir, from someone he mentioned, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about engaging in temporary marriage with virgins. Imam (as) replied: "Was it not made permissible except for them? So let them observe modesty and chastity."

4612 - وَ رَوَى إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ تَزَوَّجَ بِجَارِيَةٍ عَاتِقٍ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ يَقْتَضَّهَا ثُمَّ أَذِنَتْ لَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ "إِذَا أَذِنَتْ لَهُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ".

Hadith.4612 - It is narrated from Ishaq in Ammar, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (as): A man married a young bondwoman with the condition that he would not deflower her. Then afterward, she gave him permission. Imam (as) replied: "If she gave him permission, then there is no harm in it."

I said to him: "Did the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, perform Mut'ah?" He replied: "Yes," and then recited this verse: "'And [remember] when the Prophet confided to one of his wives a statement'... to His saying: 'widowed and virgins'" (Surah Al-Tahrim 66:3-5).

However, when a man grows old, the worse half of his qualities departs, and the better half remains, his intellect becomes more steadfast, his judgment more firm, and his ignorance decreases."

Hadith.4630 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Modesty consists of ten parts-nine of them are in women and one is in men. When a woman undergoes circumcision, one part of her modesty diminishes. When she marries, another part diminishes. When her virginity is taken, another part diminishes. When she gives birth, another part diminishes, leaving her with five parts of modesty. If she commits adultery, all her modesty is lost, but if she remains chaste, the five parts of modesty remain with her."

Commander of the Faithful (as) would also greet women but disliked greeting young women. Imam (as) said: "I fear that their voice might please me, and thereby I would fall into sin greater than the reward I seek."

4638 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلٍ يَتَزَوَّجُ اِمْرَأَةً وَ لَهَا زَوْجٌ فَقَالَ "إِذَا لَمْ يُرْفَعْ خَبَرُهُ إِلَى اَلْإِمَامِ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ بِخَمْسَةِ أَصْوَاعٍ دَقِيقاً هَذَا بَعْدَ أَنْ يُفَارِقَهَا".

However, if she gives birth to a child in less than six months, the child belongs to the former husband."

But if he has not been intimate with her and has not consummated the marriage, then he should take precaution and inquire if he was not aware of her situation beforehand."

4641 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ لِأُمِّهِ كُلُّ اِمْرَأَةٍ أَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهِيَ عَلَيَّ مِثْلُكِ حَرَامٌ قَالَ "لَيْسَ هَذَا بِشَيْءٍ".

However, she does not inherit from him because she only became free after the husband's death."

It is among the unacceptable acts unless you conceal it where no man or woman can see it."

4656 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "مَنْ نَظَرَ إِلَى اِمْرَأَةٍ فَرَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ أَوْ غَمَّضَ بَصَرَهُ لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْهِ بَصَرُهُ حَتَّى يُزَوِّجَهُ اَللَّهُ مِنَ اَلْحُورِ اَلْعِينِ".

Hadith.4660 - Ali ibn Al-Husayn (peace be upon them) said to one of his companions: "When seeking a child, say: 'My Lord (azj), do not leave me alone [without offspring], and You (swt) are the best of inheritors' and add; 'Grant me from Yourself (swt) a successor who will inherit from me during my life and seek forgiveness for me after my death. Make him well-formed in creation and do not allow Satan to have any share in him. O Allah (swt), I seek Your (swt) forgiveness and repent to You (swt). Indeed, You (swt) are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.' Repeat this seventy times. For whoever frequently says this supplication, Allah (swt) the Exalted will grant him whatever he wishes of wealth, children, and the goodness of this world and the Hereafter. For Allah (swt) says: 'Seek forgiveness from your Lord (azj); indeed, He (swt) is ever Forgiving. He (swt) will send rain to you in abundance and supply you with wealth and children and make for you gardens and make for you rivers' (Surah Nuh 71:10-12)."

One will serve as food and the other as drink."

Explain it to me." Imam (as) replied: "Every woman who nurses, with the milk of her husband, the child of another woman, whether the child is male or female, that is the breastfeeding (ridha') referred to by the Messenger of Allah (swt) (may Allah bless him and his family). But any woman who nurses, with the milk of two different husbands (one after the other), the child of another woman, whether male or female, this is breastfeeding that does not fall under the ruling of the statement of the Messenger of Allah (swt) 'What is prohibited through breastfeeding is the same as what is prohibited through lineage.'"

Imam (as) said: "A Jewish or Christian woman may breastfeed your child, but you must prevent her from drinking alcohol and consuming what is unlawful, such as pork. Do not let them take your child to their homes. A woman who is an adulteress must not breastfeed your child, for it is not permissible for you. A Magian woman must not breastfeed your child unless you are compelled to it."

4681 - وَ رَوَى حَرِيزٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "لَبَنُ اَلْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَ اَلنَّصْرَانِيَّةِ وَ اَلْمَجُوسِيَّةِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ لَبَنِ وَلَدِ اَلزِّنَا وَ كَانَ لاَ يَرَى بَأْساً بِلَبَنِ وَلَدِ اَلزِّنَا إِذَا جَعَلَ مَوْلَى اَلْجَارِيَةِ اَلَّذِي فَجَرَ بِالْجَارِيَةِ فِي حِلٍّ".

Hadith.4681 - Hariz narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) who said: "The milk of a Jewish, Christian, or Magian woman is more beloved to me than the milk of a child born from adultery.

4682 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ دَرَّ لَبَنُهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ وِلاَدَةٍ فَأَرْضَعَتْ جَارِيَةً وَ غُلاَماً بِذَلِكَ اَللَّبَنِ هَلْ يَحْرُمُ بِذَلِكَ اَللَّبَنِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ اَلرَّضَاعِ قَالَ "لاَ".

Hadith.4682 - Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Yunus ibn Yaqub from Abu Abdullah (as) who said: I asked Imam (as) about a woman whose milk flowed without childbirth, and she breastfed a girl and a boy with that milk.

Hadith.4714 - Ammar Al-Sabati narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) who said: "Aqiqah is obligatory for those who are wealthy. As for the poor, when they become financially capable, they should perform it. If they are unable to do so, then nothing is required of them. If Aqiqah was not done for a person until a sacrifice (Udhiyyah) was offered on their behalf, the sacrifice suffices for them. Every newborn is held in pledge by their Aqiqah." Imam (as) also said regarding Aqiqah: "A ram should be slaughtered on their behalf. If a ram is not available, anything permissible for sacrifice in Udhiyyah will suffice. If that is not possible, then a lamb, the largest among the lambs of the year, should be offered."

Hadith.4715 - In the narration of Muhammad ibn Marid from Abu Abdullah (as), he said: I asked him about the Aqiqah. Imam (as) replied: "It can be a sheep, a cow, or a camel. Then the child should be named, and his head should be shaved on the seventh day. Charity should be given in gold or silver equal to the weight of the shaved hair. If the newborn is a boy, a male animal should be sacrificed on his behalf, and if it is a girl, a female animal should be sacrificed for her."

4716 - وَ عَقَّ أَبُو طَالِبٍ رَحِمَهُ اَللَّهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ فَدَعَا آلَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالُوا مَا هَذِهِ فَقَالَ "عَقِيقَةُ أَحْمَدَ " قَالُوا لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ سَمَّيْتَهُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ "سَمَّيْتُهُ أَحْمَدَ لِمَحْمَدَةِ أَهْلِ اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ اَلْأَرْضِ لَهُ".

Hadith.4716 - Abu Talib (as), may Allah (swt) have mercy on him, performed the Aqiqah for the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) on the seventh day after his birth. He invited the family of Abu Talib, and when they asked: "What is this?" Abu Talib (as) replied: "This is the Aqiqah of Ahmad (sw)." They asked: "Why did you name him Ahmad (sw)?" Abu Talib (as) said: "I named him Ahmad (sw) because of the praise (maḥmadah) He (sw) receives from the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth."

4717 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِنْ كَانَتِ اَلْقَابِلَةُ يَهُودِيَّةً لاَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْ ذَبِيحَةِ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ أُعْطِيَتْ رُبُعَ قِيمَةِ اَلْكَبْشِ يُشْتَرَى ذَلِكَ مِنْهَا ".

Hadith.4717 - In the narration of Ammar Al-Sabati from Abu Abdullah (as), that he said: "If the midwife (qabilah) is a Jewess who does not eat the meat of an animal slaughtered by Muslims, she should be given one-fourth of the value of the ram, and it is purchased from her with that."

4718 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَمَّارٍ أَيْضاً: "أَنَّهُ يُعْطِي اَلْقَابِلَةَ رُبُعَهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَابِلَةٌ فَلِأُمِّهِ تُعْطِيهَا مَنْ شَاءَتْ وَ تُطْعِمُ مِنْهَا عَشَرَةً مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَإِنْ زَادَ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ".

Hadith.4718 - In another narration from Ammar, it is reported: "A quarter of the Aqiqah should be given to the midwife. If there is no midwife, then the child's mother may give it to whomever she wishes. She should also feed ten Muslims from it, and if she feeds more, it is even better."

4719 - وَ رُوِيَ: "أَنَّ أَفْضَلَ مَا يُطْبَخُ بِهِ مَاءٌ وَ مِلْحٌ".

Hadith.4719 - It is narrated: "The best way to cook the Aqiqah meat is with water and salt."

4720 - قَالَ عَمَّارٌ اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ : وَ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلْعَقِيقَةِ إِذَا ذُبِحَتْ هَلْ يُكْسَرُ عَظْمُهَا قَالَ "نَعَمْ يُكْسَرُ عَظْمُهَا وَ يُقَطَّعُ لَحْمُهَا وَ تَصْنَعُ بِهَا بَعْدَ اَلذَّبْحِ مَا شِئْتَ".

Hadith.4720 - Ammar Al-Sabati reported that Imam (as) was asked about the Aqiqah about when it is slaughtered, should its bones be broken? He (as) replied: "Yes, its bones should be broken, and its meat should be cut up. After the slaughter, you may do with it as you wish."

4721 - وَ سَأَلَ إِدْرِيسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْقُمِّيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ فَيَمُوتُ يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ هَلْ يُعَقُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ مَاتَ قَبْلَ اَلظُّهْرِ لَمْ يُعَقَّ عَنْهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مَاتَ بَعْدَ اَلظُّهْرِ عُقَّ عَنْهُ".

Hadith.4721 - Idris ibn Abdullah Al-Qummi asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a newborn who is born and dies on the seventh day. Should the Aqiqah be performed for him? Imam (as) replied: "If he dies before noon, the Aqiqah is not performed for him. But if he dies after noon, the Aqiqah should be performed for him."

4722 - وَ رَوَى عَمَّارٌ اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَذْبَحَ اَلْعَقِيقَةَ قُلْتَ "يٰا قَوْمِ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِمّٰا تُشْرِكُونَ إِنِّي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضَ حَنِيفاً" مُسْلِماً "وَ مٰا أَنَا مِنَ اَلْمُشْرِكِينَ " "إِنَّ صَلاٰتِي وَ نُسُكِي وَ مَحْيٰايَ وَ مَمٰاتِي لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ اَلْعٰالَمِينَ لاٰ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ بِذٰلِكَ أُمِرْتُ" وَ أَنَا مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ اَللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَ لَكَ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ وَ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنْ فُلاَنِ بْنِ فُلاَنٍ وَ تُسَمِّي اَلْمَوْلُودَ بِاسْمِهِ ثُمَّ تَذْبَحُ".

Hadith.4722 - Ammar Al-Sabati narrated from Abu Abdullah (as) who said: "When you intend to slaughter the Aqiqah, say: 'O my people, I am free from what you associate with Allah (swt). Indeed, I have turned my face toward the One (swt) who created the heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not among the polytheists. Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are for Allah (swt), the Lord (azj) of the worlds. He (swt) has no partner, and with this I have been commanded, and I am among the Muslims. O Allah (swt), this is from You (swt) and for You (swt). In the name of Allah (swt) and Allah (swt) is the Greatest. O Allah (swt), accept this from (mention the child's name), son of (mention the father's name).' Then you proceed with the slaughter."

4723 - وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "يُقَالُ عِنْدَ اَلْعَقِيقَةِ اَللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَ لَكَ مَا وَهَبْتَ وَ أَنْتَ أَعْطَيْتَ اَللَّهُمَّ فَتَقَبَّلْهُ مِنَّا عَلَى سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ تَسْتَعِيذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ اَلشَّيْطَانِ اَلرَّجِيمِ وَ تُسَمِّي وَ تَذْبَحُ وَ تَقُولُ لَكَ سَفَكْتُ اَلدِّمَاءَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ "وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ اَلْعٰالَمِينَ" اَللَّهُمَّ اِخْسَأْ عَنَّا اَلشَّيْطَانَ اَلرَّجِيمَ ". وَ أَمَّا الْخِتَانُ فَإِنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ فِي الرِّجَالِ وَ مَكْرُمَةٌ فِي النِّسَاءِ.

Hadith.4723 - In another narration from Abu Abdullah (as), he said: "At the time of performing the Aqiqah, say: 'O Allah (swt), this is from You (swt) and for You (swt). It is what You (swt) have granted, and You (swt) are the Giver. O Allah (swt), accept it from us in accordance with the tradition of Your Prophet (sw). I seek refuge in Allah (swt) from the accursed Satan.' Then mention the child's name, slaughter the animal, and say: 'For You (swt), I have shed this blood, with no partner for You (swt). All praise is due to Allah (swt), the Lord (azj) of the worlds. O Allah (swt), drive away from us the accursed Satan.' As for circumcision, it is a Sunnah (recommended practice) for men and an honorable practice (makramah) for women."

4724 - وَ رَوَى غِيَاثُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ لاَ تَخْتَتِنَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ فَأَمَّا اَلرَّجُلُ فَلاَ بُدَّ مِنْهُ".

Hadith.4724 - Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim narrated from Ja'far ibn Muhammad from his father (as) who said that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as)said: "There is no harm if a woman is not circumcised, but as for a man, it is necessary for him."

4725 - وَ - كَتَبَ عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ اَلْحِمْيَرِيُّ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : أَنَّهُ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلصَّالِحِينَ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَنِ اِخْتِنُوا أَوْلاَدَكُمْ يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ يَطَّهَّرُوا فَإِنَّ اَلْأَرْضَ تَضِجُّ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ بَوْلِ اَلْأَغْلَفِ" وَ لَيْسَ جَعَلَنِيَ اَللَّهُ فِدَاكَ لِحَجَّامِي بَلَدِنَا حِذْقٌ بِذَلِكَ وَ لاَ يَخْتِنُونَهُ يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ وَ عِنْدَنَا حَجَّامٌ مِنَ اَلْيَهُودِ فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ لِلْيَهُودِ أَنْ يَخْتِنُوا أَوْلاَدَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمْ لاَ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ فَلاَ تُخَالِفُوا اَلسُّنَنَ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ".

Hadith.4725 - Abdullah ibn Ja'far al-Himyari wrote to Imam Abu Muhammad Al-Hasan ibn Ali (as), saying: "It has been narrated from the Righteous Ones (peace be upon them) that they said: 'Circumcise your children on the seventh day so they may be purified, for the earth complains to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, about the urine of the uncircumcised.' May Allah make me your ransom, but the barbers in our region are not skilled in this, and they do not circumcise on the seventh day. However, we have a barber who is a Jew. Is it permissible for the Jews to circumcise Muslim children or not?" Imam (as) replied: "On the seventh day - do not oppose the Sunnah, God willing."

4726 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُرَازِمِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ اَلْأَزْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي اَلصَّبِيِّ إِذَا خُتِنَ قَالَ "يَقُولُ: اَللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ سُنَّتُكَ وَ سُنَّةُ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ اِتِّبَاعٌ مِنَّا لَكَ وَ لِنَبِيِّكَ بِمَشِيَّتِكَ وَ بِإِرَادَتِكَ وَ قَضَائِكَ لِأَمْرٍ أَنْتَ أَرَدْتَهُ وَ قَضَاءٍ حَتَمْتَهُ وَ أَمْرٍ أَنْفَذْتَهُ فَأَذَقْتَهُ حَرَّ اَلْحَدِيدِ فِي خِتَانِهِ وَ حِجَامَتِهِ لِأَمْرٍ أَنْتَ أَعْرَفُ بِهِ مِنِّي اَللَّهُمَّ فَطَهِّرْهُ مِنَ اَلذُّنُوبِ وَ زِدْ فِي عُمُرِهِ وَ اِدْفَعِ اَلْآفَاتِ عَنْ بَدَنِهِ وَ اَلْأَوْجَاعَ عَنْ جِسْمِهِ وَ زِدْهُ مِنَ اَلْغِنَى وَ اِدْفَعْ عَنْهُ اَلْفَقْرَ فَإِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ وَ لاَ نَعْلَمُ " وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَيُّ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يَقُلْهَا عِنْدَ خِتَانِ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَقُلْهَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَحْتَلِمَ فَإِنْ قَالَهَا كُفِيَ حَرَّ اَلْحَدِيدِ مِنْ قَتْلٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ".

Hadith.4726 - It was narrated from Murazim ibn Hakim Al-Azdi that Abu Abdullah (as) said regarding the circumcision of a child: "One should say: O Allah (swt), this is Your (swt) Sunnah and the Sunnah of Your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and it is our following of You (swt) and Your Prophet (sw) by Your (swt) will, Your (swt) desire, and Your (swt) decree for a matter You (swt) have willed, a decision You (swt) have made obligatory, and a command You (swt) have executed. You (swt) have made him taste the heat of iron in his circumcision and cupping for a matter You (swt) know better than I do. O Allah (swt), purify him from sins, increase his lifespan, protect his body from afflictions and his flesh from pain, increase him in wealth, and remove poverty from him. Indeed, You (swt) know while we do not." Abu Abdullah (as) also said: "Whoever does not say this at the time of his child's circumcision should say it before the child reaches puberty. If he says it, the child will be protected from the heat of iron, whether from killing or anything else."

4727 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى صَاحِبِ اَلدَّارِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وُلِدَ لِي مَوْلُودٌ وَ حَلَقْتُ رَأْسَهُ وَ وَزَنْتُ شَعْرَهُ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ وَ تَصَدَّقْتُ بِهِ قَالَ "لاَ يَجُوزُ وَزْنُهُ إِلاَّ بِالذَّهَبِ أَوِ اَلْفِضَّةِ وَ كَذَا جَرَتِ اَلسُّنَّةُ".

Hadith.4727 - It was narrated from Harun ibn Muslim who said: I wrote to the 'Sahib al-Dar' (Master of the House Imam Muhammad ibn Hassan Al-Mahdi (as)) saying: "A child was born to me, and I shaved his head, weighed his hair in dirhams, and gave its equivalent in charity." Imam (as) replied: "It is not permissible to weigh it except with gold or silver, and this is the established Sunnah."

4728 - : وَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا اَلْعِلَّةُ فِي حَلْقِ رَأْسِ اَلْمَوْلُودِ قَالَ "تَطْهِيرُهُ مِنْ شَعْرِ اَلرَّحِمِ ".

Hadith.4728 - Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about the reason for shaving the head of a newborn. Imam (as) replied: "It is to purify the child from the hair of the womb."

Hadith.4731 - Abu Zakariya narrated from Abu Basir who said that Abu Abdullah (as) said: "When a child from the children of the believers dies, a caller announces in the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, 'Indeed, so-and-so, the son of so-and-so, has passed away.' If his parents, one of them, or a family member from the believers had already passed away, the child is entrusted to them to nurture him. If none of them had passed away, the child is entrusted to Sayyidah Fatimah {s.a} to nurture and care for them until their parents, one of them, or a family member arrives, and then she hands the child over to them."

They nourish them from a tree in Paradise that has teats like those of cows, inside a palace made of pearl. On the Day of Judgment, these children will be dressed, perfumed, and presented to their parents. They will be kings in Paradise along with their parents. This is in accordance with the saying of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic: 'And those who believe and whose descendants follow them in faith - We will join them with their descendants'" (Surah At-Tur 52:21).
