Hadith.4916 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "It was said to Isa (as) (Jesus), the son of Mariyum {s.a} (Mary): 'Why do you not marry?' Isa (as) replied: 'And what would I do with marriage?' They said: 'Children would be born to you.' Isa (as) said: 'And what would I do with children? If they live, they will lead to trials, and if they die, they will cause me sorrow.'"
