سَأَلَهُ أَبِي وَ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنْ نِكَاحِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ فَقَالَ نِكَاحُهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نِكَاحِ النَّاصِبِيَّةِ وَ مَا أُحِبُّ لِلرَّجُلِ الْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ الْيَهُودِيَّةَ وَ لَا النَّصْرَانِيَّةَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَتَهَوَّدَ وَلَدُهُ أَوْ يَتَنَصَّرَ.

15. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Muhammad Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “My father once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about marriage with the Jews and Christians when I was listening. He (the Imam) said, ‘Marriage with them in my view is better than marriage with al-Nasibah (people hostile to ‘A’immah) and I do not like a Muslim man’s marriage with a Jewish woman or a Christian woman because of fear that she can convert his children to Judaism or Christianity.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar·Thaqalayn link·The Arabic above is the original.
