قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ صَاحِبَتِي هَلَكَتْ وَ كَانَتْ لِي مُوَافِقَةً وَ قَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ فَقَالَ لِيَ انْظُرْ أَيْنَ تَضَعُ نَفْسَكَ وَ مَنْ تُشْرِكُهُ فِي مَالِكَ وَ تُطْلِعُهُ عَلَى دِينِكَ وَ سِرِّكَ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ لَا بُدَّ فَاعِلًا فَبِكْراً تُنْسَبُ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَ إِلَى حُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّهُنَّ كَمَا قَالَ أَلَا إِنَّ النِّسَاءَ خُلِقْنَ شَتَّى فَمِنْهُنَّ الْغَنِيمَةُ وَ الْغَرَامُ وَ مِنْهُنَّ الْهِلَالُ إِذَا تَجَلَّى لِصَاحِبِهِ وَ مِنْهُنَّ الظَّلَامُ فَمَنْ يَظْفَرْ بِصَالِحِهِنَّ يَسْعَدْ وَ مَنْ يُغْبَنْ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ انْتِقَامُ وَ هُنَّ ثَلَاثٌ فَامْرَأَةٌ وَلُودٌ وَدُودٌ تُعِينُ زَوْجَهَا عَلَى دَهْرِهِ لِدُنْيَاهُ وَ آخِرَتِهِ وَ لَا تُعِينُ الدَّهْرَ عَلَيْهِ وَ امْرَأَةٌ عَقِيمَةٌ لَا ذَاتُ جَمَالٍ وَ لَا خُلُقٍ وَ لَا تُعِينُ زَوْجَهَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ وَ امْرَأَةٌ صَخَّابَةٌ وَلَّاجَةٌ هَمَّازَةٌ تَسْتَقِلُّ الْكَثِيرَ وَ لَا تَقْبَلُ الْيَسِيرَ.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from all ibn Mahbub from Ibrahim al-Karkhiy who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘My wife who lived in complete harmony with me has died and I want to marry.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Think where you want to place yourself and whom you are making your partner in your assets, inform of your religion and secrets. If you must marry find a virgin who is spoken of with goodness and of good moral discipline. You must take notice that women are as it is said: ‘Women are of various moral manners; among them are gains and losses. Among them are lawful when she shines for her companion and among them is darkness. Whoever succeeds in finding the righteous among them is a sure fortunate but one who is cheated cannot revenge. ‘They are of three kinds; one kind is a child bearing and loving who helps her husband all the time in the worldly as well as the matters of the hereafter and the world does not work against her. The other kind is woman who is barren without beauty and moral manners and does not help her husband in anything good, she is loud and noisy, roaming around and faultfinding who considers a great deal very little and does not accept things of lesser amount.’”
