Marriage

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لِي وَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَدْ حَرَّمْتُ عَلَيْكُمَا الْمُتْعَةَ مِنْ قِبَلِي مَا دُمْتُمَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ لِأَنَّكُمَا تُكْثِرَانِ الدُّخُولَ عَلَيَّ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ تُؤْخَذَا فَيُقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ أَصْحَابُ جَعْفَرٍ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once said to Sulayman ibn Khalid and I, ‘I have made al-Mut‘ah (advantageous marriage) unlawful for you from my side as long as you are in al-Madinah because you come very often to me and I am afraid you will be caught and it will be said, “These are companions of Ja’far.’””

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِنَا قَدْ رَوَى عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ إِذَا أَحَلَّ الرَّجُلُ لِأَخِيهِ جَارِيَتَهُ فَهِيَ لَهُ حَلَالٌ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا فُضَيْلُ قُلْتُ لَهُ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ عِنْدَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ نَفِيسَةٌ وَ هِيَ بِكْرٌ أَحَلَّ لِأَخِيهِ مَا دُونَ فَرْجِهَا أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَفْتَضَّهَا قَالَ لَا لَيْسَ لَهُ إِلَّا مَا أَحَلَّ لَهُ مِنْهَا وَ لَوْ أَحَلّ

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abdul Kareem, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far asws , said, ‘I said to him asws , ‘The man permits to his brother, the private part of his slave girl’. He asws said: ‘Yes, for him is what he permits for him from her’.

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي أَحَلَّتْ لِي جَارِيَتَهَا فَقَالَ انْكِحْهَا إِنْ أَرَدْتَ قُلْتُ أَبِيعُهَا قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا أُحِلَّ لَكَ مِنْهَا مَا أَحَلَّتْ.

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Al Mukhtar, from Abu Bakr Al Hazramy who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah asws , ‘My wife permitted her slave girl to me’. So he asws said: ‘Marry her if you so want’. I said, ‘Can I sell her?’ He

لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ أَوْلَدَهَا قَالَ يَضُمُّ إِلَيْهِ وَلَدَهُ وَ يَرُدُّ الْجَارِيَةَ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ حَلَّلَهُ مِنْهَا فَهُوَ لَا يَأْمَنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ‌[1].

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Suleym Al Far’a, from Hareyz, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws regarding the man who permitted the private part of his slave girl for his brother.

Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, and Hafs Bin Al Bakhtary, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws regarding the man who is saying to his wife, ‘Will you permit your slave girl for me, for I dislike it that she should see me uncovered?’ So she permitted her to him’. He asws said: ‘

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع- عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ أَحَلَّتْ لِي جَارِيَتَهَا فَقَالَ ذَاكَ لَكَ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ تَمْزَحُ قَالَ وَ كَيْفَ لَكَ بِمَا فِي قَلْبِهَا فَإِنْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا تَمْزَحُ فَلَا.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Yzaie who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan asws about a woman who permitted her slave girl to me. So he asws said: ‘That is for you’. I said, ‘Supposing it was in jest (as a joke)?’ He asws said: ‘And how could it be for you what is in her heart? So,

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ ابْتُلِيَ فَفَجَرَ بِجَارِيَةِ أَخِيهِ فَمَا تَوْبَتُهُ قَالَ يَأْتِيهِ فَيُخْبِرُهُ وَ يَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فِي حِلٍّ وَ لَا يَعُودُ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلْهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فِي حِلٍّ قَالَ قَدْ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ هُوَ زَانٍ خَائِنٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالنَّارُ مَصِيرُهُ قَالَ شَفَاعَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ شَفَاعَتُنَا تَحْبَطُ بِذُنُوبِكُمْ

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Salih Bin Uqba, from Abu Shibl who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah asws , ‘A Muslim man was tried, so he was immoral with a slave girl of his brother. So what is his repentance?’ He asws said: ‘He would go to him and inform him, and he would

And by his chain, from Salih Bin Uqba, from Suleyman Bin Salih, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws , said, ‘He asws was asked about the man who marries a slave girl of his wife. Then he asks her if she (the wife) would make him to be in permissibility (with the slave girl), but she refuses. So he is saying,

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الرَّجُلُ يَخْدَعُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَيَقُولُ اجْعَلِينِي فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ جَارِيَتِكِ تَمْسَحُ بَطْنِي وَ تَغْمِزُ رِجْلِي وَ مِنْ مَسِّي إِيَّاهَا يَعْنِي بِمَسِّهِ إِيَّاهَا النِّكَاحَ فَقَالَ الْخَدِيعَةُ فِي النَّارِ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُرِدْ بِذَلِكَ الْخَدِيعَةَ قَالَ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ مَا أَرَاكَ إِلَّا تَخْدَعُهَا عَنْ بُضْعِ جَارِيَتِهَا.

And from him, from Suleyman Bin Salih who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah asws , ‘The man deceives his wife, so he is saying, ‘Make me to be in freedom from your slave girl, for her to touch my belly, and massage my legs, and from me to touch her’, meaning with touching her with the sleeping with her. So he asws said: ‘T

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Sali, and Jameel Bin Darraj, and Sa’ad Bin Abu Khalaf, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws regarding a wife of the man who happens to have a servant for her who had been immoral, so he became needy to her milk. He

أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَحَلِّلْ خَادِمَكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَطِيبَ اللَّبَنُ.

And by his chain, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj from one of his companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws regarding a man who had a slave girl for him, so she gave birth from the immorality. So her master disliked it that she breast-feeds it fearing that it may not be allowed for him. So Ab
