4- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ ضُرَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَنَّ النِّسَاءَ أُعْطِينَ بُضْعَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَصَبْرَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.

4. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Durays who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘Women are given desires of twelve parts and patience of twelve parts.’”

5- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ مَرْوَكِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ فُضِّلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ بِتِسْعَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ مِنَ اللَّذَّةِ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِنَّ الْحَيَاءَ.

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from certain persons of his people from Marwak ibn ‘Ubayd from Zur’ah ibn Muhammad from Sanaa ‘ah ibn Mehran from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘Women have an additional ninety-nine parts of enjoyment above men but Allah has placed shyness upon them.’”

6- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ جَعَلَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَصْبِرَ صَبْرَ عَشَرَةِ رِجَالٍ فَإِذَا حَصَلَتْ زَادَهَا قُوَّةَ عَشَرَةِ رِجَالٍ.

6. Ali has narrated from Harun ibn Muslim from Mas’adah ibn Sadaqah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Allah has placed ten times more patience in women above men, but when grown (excited) she has the force (of desire) like ten men.’”

1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِذِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَسَلَّمَ فَرَحَّبَ بِهِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَأَدْنَاهُ وَسَاءَلَهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي خَطَبْتُ إِلَى مَوْلاكَ فُلانِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ابْنَتَهُ فُلانَةَ فَرَدَّنِي وَرَغِبَ عَنِّي وَازْدَرَأَنِي لِدَمَامَتِي وَحَاجَتِي وَغُرْبَتِي وَقَدْ دَخَلَنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ غَضَاضَةٌ هَجْمَةٌ غُضَّ لَهَا قَلْبِي تَمَنَّيْتُ عِنْدَهَا الْمَوْتَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) اذْهَبْ فَأَنْتَ رَسُولِي إِلَيْهِ وَقُلْ لَهُ يَقُولُ لَكَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) زَوِّجْ مُنْجِحَ بْنَ رَبَاحٍ مَوْلايَ ابْنَتَكَ فُلانَةَ وَلا تَرُدَّهُ قَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ فَوَثَبَ الرَّجُلُ فَرِحاً مُسْرِعاً بِرِسَالَةِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَلَمَّا أَنْ تَوَارَى الرَّجُلُ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ رَجُلا كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ جُوَيْبِرٌ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مُنْتَجِعاً لِلإسْلامِ فَأَسْلَمَ وَحَسُنَ إِسْلامُهُ وَكَانَ رَجُلا قَصِيراً دَمِيماً مُحْتَاجاً عَارِياً وَكَانَ مِنْ قِبَاحِ السُّودَانِ فَضَمَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لِحَالِ غُرْبَتِهِ وَعَرَاهُ وَكَانَ يُجْرِي عَلَيْهِ طَعَامَهُ صَاعاً مِنْ تَمْرٍ بِالصَّاعِ الأوَّلِ وَكَسَاهُ شَمْلَتَيْنِ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَلْزَمَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَيَرْقُدَ فِيهِ بِاللَّيْلِ فَمَكَثَ بِذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ حَتَّى كَثُرَ الْغُرَبَاءُ مِمَّنْ يَدْخُلُ فِي الإسْلامِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحَاجَةِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَضَاقَ بِهِمُ الْمَسْجِدُ فَأَوْحَى اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَى نَبِيِّهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَنْ طَهِّرْ مَسْجِدَكَ وَأَخْرِجْ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ مَنْ يَرْقُدُ فِيهِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَمُرْ بِسَدِّ أَبْوَابِ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ فِي مَسْجِدِكَ بَابٌ إِلا بَابَ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَمَسْكَنَ فَاطِمَةَ (عَلَيْهِا السَّلام) وَلا يَمُرَّنَّ فِيهِ جُنُبٌ وَلا يَرْقُدْ فِيهِ غَرِيبٌ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) بِسَدِّ أَبْوَابِهِمْ إِلا بَابَ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَأَقَرَّ مَسْكَنَ فَاطِمَةَ (عَلَيْهِا السَّلام) عَلَى حَالِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَمَرَ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ سَقِيفَةٌ فَعُمِلَتْ لَهُمْ وَهِيَ الصُّفَّةُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ الْغُرَبَاءَ وَالْمَسَاكِينَ أَنْ يَظَلُّوا فِيهَا نَهَارَهُمْ وَلَيْلَهُمْ فَنَزَلُوهَا وَاجْتَمَعُوا فِيهَا فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَتَعَاهَدُهُمْ بِالْبُرِّ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالزَّبِيبِ إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُ وَكَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَتَعَاهَدُونَهُمْ وَيَرِقُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِرِقَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَيَصْرِفُونَ صَدَقَاتِهِمْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) نَظَرَ إِلَى جُوَيْبِرٍ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنْهُ لَهُ وَرِقَّةٍ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا جُوَيْبِرُ لَوْ تَزَوَّجْتَ امْرَأَةً فَعَفَفْتَ بِهَا فَرْجَكَ وَأَعَانَتْكَ عَلَى دُنْيَاكَ وَآخِرَتِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُوَيْبِرٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي مَنْ يَرْغَبُ فِيَّ فَوَ اللهِ مَا مِنْ حَسَبٍ وَلا نَسَبٍ وَلا مَالٍ وَلا جَمَالٍ فَأَيَّةُ امْرَأَةٍ تَرْغَبُ فِيَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَا جُوَيْبِرُ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ وَضَعَ بِالإسْلامِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ شَرِيفاً وَشَرَّفَ بِالإسْلامِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَضِيعاً وَأَعَزَّ بِالإسْلامِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ذَلِيلا وَأَذْهَبَ بِالإسْلامِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ نَخْوَةِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَتَفَاخُرِهَا بِعَشَائِرِهَا وَبَاسِقِ أَنْسَابِهَا فَالنَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ كُلُّهُمْ أَبْيَضُهُمْ وَأَسْوَدُهُمْ وَقُرَشِيُّهُمْ وَعَرَبِيُّهُمْ وَعَجَمِيُّهُمْ مِنْ آدَمَ وَإِنَّ آدَمَ خَلَقَهُ اللهُ مِنْ طِينٍ وَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَطْوَعُهُمْ لَهُ وَأَتْقَاهُمْ وَمَا أَعْلَمُ يَا جُوَيْبِرُ لأحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ فَضْلا إِلا لِمَنْ كَانَ أَتْقَى للهِ مِنْكَ وَأَطْوَعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ. انْطَلِقْ يَا جُوَيْبِرُ إِلَى زِيَادِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَشْرَفِ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ حَسَباً فِيهِمْ فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ إِلَيْكَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَكَ زَوِّجْ جُوَيْبِراً ابْنَتَكَ الذَّلْفَاءَ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ جُوَيْبِرٌ بِرِسَالَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِلَى زِيَادِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ وَهُوَ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ وَجَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ عِنْدَهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ فَأُعْلِمَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا زِيَادَ بْنَ لَبِيدٍ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ إِلَيْكَ فِي حَاجَةٍ لِي فَأَبُوحُ بِهَا أَمْ أُسِرُّهَا إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ زِيَادٌ بَلْ بُحْ بِهَا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ شَرَفٌ لِي وَفَخْرٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُوَيْبِرٌ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَقُولُ لَكَ زَوِّجْ جُوَيْبِراً ابْنَتَكَ الذَّلْفَاءَ فَقَالَ لَهُ زِيَادٌ أَرَسُولُ اللهِ أَرْسَلَكَ إِلَيَّ بِهَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ نَعَمْ مَا كُنْتُ لأكْذِبَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ لَهُ زِيَادٌ إِنَّا لا نُزَوِّجُ فَتَيَاتِنَا إِلا أَكْفَاءَنَا مِنَ الأنْصَارِ فَانْصَرِفْ يَا جُوَيْبِرُ حَتَّى أَلْقَى رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَأُخْبِرَهُ بِعُذْرِي فَانْصَرَفَ جُوَيْبِرٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَاللهِ مَا بِهَذَا نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ وَلا بِهَذَا ظَهَرَتْ نُبُوَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَسَمِعَتْ مَقَالَتَهُ الذَّلْفَاءُ بِنْتُ زِيَادٍ وَهِيَ فِي خِدْرِهَا فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَبِيهَا ادْخُلْ إِلَيَّ فَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مَا هَذَا الْكَلامُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْكَ تُحَاوِرُ بِهِ جُوَيْبِراً فَقَالَ لَهَا ذَكَرَ لِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَرْسَلَهُ وَقَالَ يَقُولُ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) زَوِّجْ جُوَيْبِراً ابْنَتَكَ الذَّلْفَاءَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ جُوَيْبِرٌ لِيَكْذِبَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) بِحَضْرَتِهِ فَابْعَثِ الآنَ رَسُولا يَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ جُوَيْبِراً فَبَعَثَ زِيَادٌ رَسُولا فَلَحِقَ جُوَيْبِراً فَقَالَ لَهُ زِيَادٌ يَا جُوَيْبِرُ مَرْحَباً بِكَ اطْمَئِنَّ حَتَّى أَعُودَ إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ زِيَادٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ لَهُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي إِنَّ جُوَيْبِراً أَتَانِي بِرِسَالَتِكَ وَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَقُولُ لَكَ زَوِّجْ جُوَيْبِراً ابْنَتَكَ الذَّلْفَاءَ فَلَمْ أَلِنْ لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ وَرَأَيْتُ لِقَاءَكَ وَنَحْنُ لا نَتَزَوَّجُ إِلا أَكْفَاءَنَا مِنَ الأنْصَارِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَا زِيَادُ جُوَيْبِرٌ مُؤْمِنٌ وَالْمُؤْمِنُ كُفْوٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنَةِ وَالْمُسْلِمُ كُفْوٌ لِلْمُسْلِمَةِ فَزَوِّجْهُ يَا زِيَادُ وَلا تَرْغَبْ عَنْهُ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ زِيَادٌ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَدَخَلَ عَلَى ابْنَتِهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَتْ لَهُ إِنَّكَ إِنْ عَصَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) كَفَرْتَ فَزَوِّجْ جُوَيْبِراً فَخَرَجَ زِيَادٌ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ جُوَيْبِرٍ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَزَوَّجَهُ عَلَى سُنَّةِ اللهِ وَسُنَّةِ رَسُولِهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَضَمِنَ صَدَاقَهُ قَالَ فَجَهَّزَهَا زِيَادٌ وَهَيَّئُوهَا ثُمَّ. أَرْسَلُوا إِلَى جُوَيْبِرٍ فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَلَكَ مَنْزِلٌ فَنَسُوقَهَا إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَا لِي مِنْ مَنْزِلٍ قَالَ فَهَيَّئُوهَا وَهَيَّئُوا لَهَا مَنْزِلا وَهَيَّئُوا فِيهِ فِرَاشاً وَمَتَاعاً وَكَسَوْا جُوَيْبِراً ثَوْبَيْنِ وَأُدْخِلَتِ الذَّلْفَاءُ فِي بَيْتِهَا وَأُدْخِلَ جُوَيْبِرٌ عَلَيْهَا مُعَتِّماً فَلَمَّا رَآهَا نَظَرَ إِلَى بَيْتٍ وَمَتَاعٍ وَرِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ قَامَ إِلَى زَاوِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ تَالِياً لِلْقُرْآنِ رَاكِعاً وَسَاجِداً حَتَّى طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ خَرَجَ وَخَرَجَتْ زوْجَتُهُ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ فَتَوَضَّأَتْ وَصَلَّتِ الصُّبْحَ فَسُئِلَتْ هَلْ مَسَّكِ فَقَالَتْ مَا زَالَ تَالِياً لِلْقُرْآنِ وَرَاكِعاً وَسَاجِداً حَتَّى سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ فَخَرَجَ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَأَخْفَوْا ذَلِكَ مِنْ زِيَادٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ أَبُوهَا فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ لَهُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمَرْتَنِي بِتَزْوِيجِ جُوَيْبِرٍ وَلا وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ مَنَاكِحِنَا وَلَكِنْ طَاعَتُكَ أَوْجَبَتْ عَلَيَّ تَزْوِيجَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَمَا الَّذِي أَنْكَرْتُمْ مِنْهُ قَالَ إِنَّا هَيَّأْنَا لَهُ بَيْتاً وَمَتَاعاً وَأُدْخِلَتِ ابْنَتِيَ الْبَيْتَ وَأُدْخِلَ مَعَهَا مُعَتِّماً فَمَا كَلَّمَهَا وَلا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَلا دَنَا مِنْهَا بَلْ قَامَ إِلَى زَاوِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ تَالِياً لِلْقُرْآنِ رَاكِعاً وَسَاجِداً حَتَّى سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ فَخَرَجَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَمِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ وَلَمْ يَدْنُ مِنْهَا وَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهَا إِلَى أَنْ جِئْتُكَ وَمَا نَرَاهُ يُرِيدُ النِّسَاءَ فَانْظُرْ فِي أَمْرِنَا فَانْصَرَفَ زِيَادٌ وَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِلَى جُوَيْبِرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمَا تَقْرَبُ النِّسَاءَ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُوَيْبِرٌ أَوَمَا أَنَا بِفَحْلٍ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي لَشَبِقٌ نَهِمٌ إِلَى النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَدْ خُبِّرْتُ بِخِلافِ مَا وَصَفْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ قَدْ ذُكِرَ لِي أَنَّهُمْ هَيَّئُوا لَكَ بَيْتاً وَفِرَاشاً وَمَتَاعاً وَأُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْكَ فَتَاةٌ حَسْنَاءُ عَطِرَةٌ وَأَتَيْتَ مُعَتِّماً فَلَمْ تَنْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَلَمْ تُكَلِّمْهَا وَلَمْ تَدْنُ مِنْهَا فَمَا دَهَاكَ إِذَنْ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُوَيْبِرٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دَخَلْتُ بَيْتاً وَاسِعاً وَرَأَيْتُ فِرَاشاً وَمَتَاعاً وَفَتَاةً حَسْنَاءَ عَطِرَةً وَذَكَرْتُ حَالِيَ الَّتِي كُنْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَغُرْبَتِي وَحَاجَتِي وَوَضِيعَتِي وَكِسْوَتِي مَعَ الْغُرَبَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ فَأَحْبَبْتُ إِذْ أَوْلانِي اللهُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ أَشْكُرَهُ عَلَى مَا أَعْطَانِي وَأَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْهِ بِحَقِيقَةِ الشُّكْرِ فَنَهَضْتُ إِلَى جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ فِي صَلاتِي تَالِياً لِلْقُرْآنِ رَاكِعاً وَسَاجِداً أَشْكُرُ اللهَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ النِّدَاءَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ أَصُومَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيَهَا وَرَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي جَنْبِ مَا أَعْطَانِي اللهُ يَسِيراً وَلَكِنِّي سَأُرْضِيهَا وَأُرْضِيهِمُ اللَّيْلَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِلَى زِيَادٍ فَأَتَاهُ فَأَعْلَمَهُ مَا قَالَ جُوَيْبِرٌ فَطَابَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ قَالَ وَوَفَى لَهَا جُوَيْبِرٌ بِمَا قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) خَرَجَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ لَهُ وَمَعَهُ جُوَيْبِرٌ فَاسْتُشْهِدَ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى فَمَا كَانَ فِي الأنْصَارِ أَيِّمٌ أَنْفَقُ مِنْهَا بَعْدَ جُوَيْبِرٍ.

1. Muhammad Ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn ‘Isa from al-Hasan Ibn Mahbub from Malik Ibn ‘Atiyyah that Abu Hamza al-Thumali said: “I once was with Abu Ja’far (al-Baqir) (as) when a man asked permission for a meeting. He came in and offered greetings of peace. Abu Ja’far (as) said to welcome to him, gave him a place nearby and asked about his condition. The man said, 'I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I proposed to the daughter of your servant, so-and-so Ibn Abi Rafi', but he refused, turned away me away and considered me worthless because of my ugliness, poverty and alienation, which attacked and broke my heart and I wished for death to take me.’ Abu Ja‘far (as) said, ‘You must go back to him for you are my messenger to him and say to him that Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn al-Husayn Ibn Ali Ibn Abi Talib says: You must give your daughter, so-and-so, in marriage to my servant, Munjih Ibn Rabah, and do not refuse.'" Abu Hamza has said that the man jumped out with joy with this message of Abu Ja‘far. <br>When he left, Abu Ja‘far (as) said: "There was a man from the people of Yamama called Jowaiber who came to the Messenger of Allah (sw) seeking success through Islam. He became a Muslim and was a good Muslim. He was short, skinny, needy and naked, who was from an ugly people of Sudan. The Prophet associated with him closely because of his alienation and nakedness, and gave him one Sa‘ of dates by the measure of the first Sa‘ food for him, clothed him with two pieces of sheets, commanded him to stay in the Masjid and sleep there during the night. He lived that way as long as Allah wanted until the number of emigrants grew of those who accepted Islam of the poor people in al-Medina and the Masjid became smaller and congested. <br>Allah (azwj) sent revelation to His Holy Prophet to clean the Masjid, move those who slept in it away in the night, and commanded him to block all doors that opened to the Masjid except the door of Ali (as) and the door to the living-quarter of Fatima (as). Everyone after sexual relations and before ghusl was barred from entering the Masjid, and nons could sleep in the Masjid. So the Holy Prophet (saw) commanded to block all doors that opened to the Masjid except the door of Ali, and allowed the door of the living-quarter of Fatima (as) to remain as they were before.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) then commanded to build a canopy for the Muslims which was built and that was the platform or the edge. He then commanded the emigrants and the poor ones to stay there for the night and days. They made it their home and gathered therein. Rasulullah (sw) would come to see them, bring for them wheat, dates, barley and raisins whenever available. The Muslims sympathized with them because the Prophet sympathized with them and spent their charity on them. <br>One day he looked at Jowaiber with kindness and sympathy and said to him, “I wish you to get married with a woman to safeguard your chastity and receive help for your worldly affairs as well as those of the hereafter.” Jowaiber then said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have neither wealth nor beauty; nor I have a noble descent or lineage. Who will marry me? And which woman likes to be wife of a poor, short, black, and ugly man like me?" The Messenger of (sw)Allah then said, "O Jowaiber! God has changed the individual's worth through Islam. Many people were high placed in the pre-Islamic society and Islam brought them down. Many were despised nonentities and Islam bestowed them with honor and high rank and brought them up. Islam abolished the unIslamic discrimination and pride of lineage. Now all people irrespective of their color and origin are equal. Nobody has superiority over others but through piety and obedience to Allah. Among the Muslims, only that person would be higher than you whose virtues and deeds are better than you. Now do as I tell you." <br>He said, "O Jowaiber, you must go to Ziyad ibn Labid; he is an honorable man of the tribe of Bayadah, due to social standards and say to him, 'I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah to you and the Messenger of Allah says, ’You must give your daughter al-Dhilfa’ in marriage to Jowaiber.” He (the Imam) said that Jowaiber left with the message from the Messenger of Allah (sw) to Ziyad ibn Labid when he was at home with a group from his people. Jowaiber asked permission. He was informed and permission was granted. He entered and offered his greeting of peace, then said, ‘I am a messenger for the Messenger of Allah to you for regarding a need: if would you like I can convey it to you in private or if you want I can say it in public.’ He said, ‘Say it in public; it is an honor for me and a privilege.’ Jowaiber said, ‘The Messenger of Allah says to you: You must give your daughter al-Dhalfa’ in marriage to Jowaiber.’ Ziyad then asked him, ‘Has the Messenger of Allah really sent you this?’ Jowaiber replied, ‘Yes, I do not speak a lie against the Messenger of Allah.’ Ziyad said, ‘We do not give our young girls in marriage to anyone, unless he is a good match for us of the people of al-Ansar (people of al-Medina); so you must go back, O Jowaiber, until I meet the Messenger of Allah and inform him of my excuse.’ Jowaiber returned back saying, ‘By Allah, this is not what the Qur'an is all about or Prophet Muhammad (sw), has appeared for it.’ <br>Al-Dhalfa’, daughter of Ziyad in her living-quarter heard what Jowaiber said. She sent someone to her father to ask him to come to her room and he went to her. She asked, ‘What were the words that I heard you spoke to Jowaiber?’ He said to her, ‘He told me that the Messenger of Allah had sent him and he (the Messenger of Allah) said; You must give your daughter, al-Dhalfa’ in marriage to Juwayabir. She then said, ‘By Allah, Juwayabir cannot lie against the Messenger of Allah (saw) in his presence. You must now send a messenger to call him back.’ Ziyad sent a messenger to call Jowaiber and approached him and said. ‘O Jowaiber, you are welcome. You must not be worried and wait until I come back.’ Ziyad went to the Messenger of Allah and said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul and the souls of my parents in service for your cause, Jowaiber has brought your message to me that says: The Messenger of Allah commands you to give your daughter al-Dhalfa’ in marriage to Juwayabir. I was not so soft speaking to him. We do not give our young women in marriage to anyone except to our match of al-Ansar (people of al-Madinah).’ The Messenger of Allah said to him, ‘O Ziyad, Jowaiber is a believing person. A believing man is a match of a believing woman. A Muslim is a match of a female Muslim. Therefore you must give her in marriage to him. O Ziyad, you must give her in marriage to him and you must not refuse.’ He (the Imam) said that Ziyad returned back to his home, went to his daughter and said to her what he had heard from the Messenger of Allah (saw). <br>She said to him, ‘If you disobey the Messenger of Allah, you will become an unbeliever, so you must give in marriage to Jowaiber.’ Ziyad came out, held the hand of Jowaiber, took him before his people, gave her to him in marriage according to the tradition of Allah and the tradition of the Messenger of Allah and took responsibility of mahr (dower). He (the Imam) has said, ‘They prepared al-Dhalfa’ for her wedding, sent for Jowaiber and asked him, ‘Do you have any house so we escort her to your house?’ he replied, ‘No, by Allah, I do not have any house.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘They prepared her for her wedding, prepared for them a house, furnishings, household necessities, dressed Jowaiber with two dresses, brought al-Dhalfa’ to her house, and admitted Jowaiber also there. Jowaiber went in the house after al-‘Isha’ Salat (prayer). He looked at the house, the furnishings, the sweet smelling fragrance, thus, he moved to a corner of the house and began to recite from the Qur'an, in Ruku’ (bowing down on one’s knees) and in Sajdah (prostration) until it was dawn. He heard the call for Salat (prayer), so he went out for Salat (prayer) as well as his wife. She made wudu and performed Salat (prayer) of the morning and she was asked about being touched. She replied, ‘He continued reciting the Quran in Ruku’ and Sajdah until the call for Salat (prayer) was said then he went out.’ In the second night he did just as he had done the night before but they did not tell it to Ziyad. In the third night he again did as he had done before, then her father was informed. <br>He went to the Messenger of Allah (sw) and said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul and the souls of my parents in service for your cause, O Messenger of Allah, you commanded me to give my daughter in marriage to Jowaiber and by Allah we did not want to do so; but obedience to you made it necessary on us to do so.’ The Holy Prophet (sw) asked, ‘What is it that you disliked about him?’ he replied, ‘We prepared a house for him with furnishings, household necessities, sent my daughter to that house, he also was admitted there after al-‘Isha ’ Salat (prayer) but he did not speak to her, did not look at her and did not go close to her, instead he stood in one corner of the house, continued reciting al-Qur'an, in Ruku’ and Sajdah (prostration) until the call for Salat (prayer) was said. He went out for Salat (prayer); he did it again in the second, and in the third nights. He did not go close to her and did not speak to her until the time of my coming to you. We did not find him to be interested in women. Please look into our problem.’ <br>Ziyad went back and the Messenger of Allah sent for Jowaiber and asked him, ‘Is it the case that you do not go close to women?’ Jowaiber replied, ‘A male person I am O Messenger of Allah and I indeed have intense desire and passion for women.’ The Messenger of Allah said, to him, ‘I am informed otherwise about what you are telling to me. I am told that they prepared for you a house, furnishings, the necessities of a household and she was brought to you in that house, a beautiful young woman and rich with sweet smelling perfumes. You went after performing your al-‘Isha Salat (prayer) but did not look at her, did not speak to her, and did not go close to her. What was your wisdom in it?’ Jowaiber replied, ‘O Messenger of Allah, when I entered the vast house, saw the furnishings, the household necessities, the young beautiful girl, rich in sweet smelling perfumes, remembered my condition in which I lived, my alienation, my poverty, and lowliness, my clothes with the emigrants and the destitute people; I then loved at first to thank Allah for what He had given to me and tried to become closer to Him. I then went to one corner of the house and continued in Salat (prayer) reciting al-Qur'an in Ruku ’ (bowing down on one’s knees) and Sajdah (prostration) thanking Allah until I heard the call for Salat (prayer), then I went out. In the day I decided to fast that day and did so for three days and nights and I thought to do that for what Allah had given to me although my thanks were very little, however, I will make her happy and make them happy tonight, by the will of Allah.’ <br>The Messenger of Allah then sent a message to Ziyad who came to the Messenger of Allah and he (the Messenger of Allah) informed him about Jowaiber. They became delighted. Jowaiber kept his promise. Thereafter, the Messenger of Allah went out for an armed expedition, Jowaiber was with him and he became a martyr, may Allah, most High grant him mercy. In the community of al-Ansar (people of al-Medina) there was no single woman in such a great demand than her (al-Dhalfa’) after Jowaiber."

2. Certain persons of our people have narrated from Ali ibn al-Husayn ibn Salih al-Taymuliy from Ayyub ibn Nuh from Muhammad ibn Sinan from a man who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that once a man came to the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have Mahirah al-‘Arab (the girl with highest amount of dower among Arabs); will you accept her and she is my daughter?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, ‘I accept her.’ The man said, ‘Another (characteristic) O Messenger of Allah.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) asked, ‘What is that?’ He said, ‘She has never suffered any hardships at all.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘I do not need her but give her in marriage to Jilbib.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Both legs of the man almost failed because of the shock, then her mother came and when she was informed she also felt the same condition as her father. When the girl heard the words and saw the condition her parents were in, she said to them, ‘Please be happy for me with what Allah and His Messenger have chosen for me.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘What the girl said comforted her parents. Her father came to the Holy Prophet, and informed him of her words. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said, ‘I have made paradise for her mahr (dower).’ Safwan has added, ‘Her husband (Jilbib) died and her mahr reached one hundred thousand dirham.’”

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Faddal from Tha’Iabah ibn Maymun from ‘Umar ibn abu Bakkar from ibn abu Bakr af-Hadramiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, arranged a marriage between Miqdad ibn al-Aswad and Duba‘ah daughter of al-Zubayr ibn ‘ Abd al-Muttalib. He (the Messenger of Allah) did so only to explain the rules of marriage so that people follow the foot- steps of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and take notice that the most excellent in the sight of Allah are the most pious people.’”

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from all from al- Hassan ibn Ali from ibn Faddal from ‘Abd Allah ibn Bukayr from Zurarah ibn ‘A‘yan who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘Once a man from Basrah, a Shaybaniy man called ‘Abd al- Malik ibn Harmalah visited Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.). Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), asked, ‘Do you have a sister? He replied, ‘Yes, I have a sister.’ He (the Imam) then asked, ‘Will you give her in marriage to me?’ He replied, ‘Yes, I agree.’ The man left and a man of the companions of Ali ibn Al-Husayn (a.s.), followed him to his house, asked about him and it was said that he is so and so, the master of his tribe. He returned to Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), and said, ‘Your brother in-law to be appears to be the master of his tribe.’ Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), said, ‘I can explain to you, O so and so about what I see and what I hear. Have you not taken notice that Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, through Islam has removed the lowliness and has completed the shortcomings, has honored with it those blamed before Islam, thus there is no blame on a Muslim; the only blame is the blame of the time of ignorance.’”

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid from his father from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad from Yazid ibn Hatim who has said the following: “‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan had a spy in al-Madinah who reported to him from time to time about things that happened there. Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), set free one of his slave-girls and then married with her. The spy reported this to ‘Abd al-Malik who wrote to Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), in a letter that said, ‘Thereafter, it has been reported to me that you have married one of your slave-girls, when you know very well that among Quraysh there are your match for whose marital relation; one can take pride and privilege and give birth to noble offspring. You have neglected yourself as well as your offspring, and al-Salam (greeting of peace).’ Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), wrote to him in answer a letter that said, ‘Thereafter, I received your letter in which you have used harsh words against me because of my marriage to my slave-girl and you think that among Quraysh there are women for whose marital relation one can assume pride and privilege because of their giving birth to noble children. (You must take notice) that no one can ever have a glorious position higher than that of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, or any more grace. She was in my possession and went out of my possession when Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, wanted me to set her free for the sake of good rewards from Him. I then returned her according to the Sunnah. Whoever is clean in the religion of Allah, nothing is able to disturb him in any of his affairs. Allah through Islam has removed lowliness, has completed the shortcomings and has taken away the blame. So there is no blame on a Muslim man and the only blame is the blame of ignorance.’ When he read the letter he threw it to his son Sulayman who read it and said, ‘O ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn al- Husayn (a.s.), has strengthened his pride over you.’ ‘Abd al-Malik said, ‘My son do not say that; it is the tongues of banu Hashim that can tear down rocks and scoop the sea. My son, Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), rises where people go down.’”

5. Al-Husayn ibn al-Hassan al-Hashimiy has narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Ahmar and Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Bandar from al- Sayyariy from certain person of Baghdad from Ali Bilal, who has said the following: ’’Hisham ibn al-Hakam once met a man of Khawarij (a certain sect) who said, ‘O Hisham, what do you say if al-‘Ajam (non- Arab) marries from Arab?’ Hisham said, ‘Yes, they can marry.’ He asked, ‘Can Arabs marry from Quraysh?’ He replied, ‘Yes, they can marry.’ He then asked, ‘Can Quraysh marry from banu Hashim?’ He replied, ‘Yes, they can marry.’ He then asked, ‘From whom have you taken this?’ He replied, ‘I have taken this from Ja’far ibn Muhammad (a.s.). I heard him (the Imam) saying, “How can it be (accepted) that your lives match as equals but not your reproductive organs?”’ He (the narrator) has said that the Kharijiy man left and went to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and said, ‘I met Hisham and asked him so and so questions and he answered me so and so, saying that he has heard it from you.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, I have said so.’ He then said, ‘Here I have come with a marriage proposal.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘You are a match of members of your community in matters of life and social issues. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, however, has protected us from charity which is the dirt of the hands of people and we dislike to share what preference Allah has given to us with those to whom Allah has not given such preference as He has set it for us.’ The Kharijiy man left saying, ‘By Allah, I have never seen any man like him. He repulsed me with a disgracing response and without contradicting his companion.’”
