1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Harun ibn Muslim from Mas’adah ibn Sadaqah who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin has said, ’You must not initiate Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace) to women and you must not invite them for food; the Holy Prophet (saww) has said, “Women are tiredness (weakness in communication) and a matter of private nature thus, you must cover their tiredness with quietness and the privacy of their nature with homes.'"

[1]العى: العجز عن البيان اي لا يمكنهن التكلم بما ينبغي في أكثر المواطن فاسعوا في سكوتهن لئلا يظهر منهن ما تكرهونه فالمراد بالسكوت سكوتهن و يحتمل أن يكون المراد سكوت الرجال المخاطبين و عدم التكلم معهم لئلا يتكلمن بما يؤذيهم. و العورة ما يستحيى منه و ينبغي ستره.( آت)ص 535
