529. hadíth

وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلْكَاهِلِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ اِمْرَأَتِي وَ أُخْتِي وَ هِيَ اِمْرَأَةُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَارِدٍ تَخْرُجَانِ فِي اَلْمَآتِمِ فَأَنْهَاهُمَا فَقَالَتَا لِي إِنْ كَانَ حَرَاماً اِنْتَهَيْنَا عَنْهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ حَرَاماً فَلِمَ تَمْنَعُنَا فَيَمْتَنِعَ اَلنَّاسُ مِنْ قَضَاءِ حُقُوقِنَا فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «عَنِ اَلْحُقُوقِ تَسْأَلُنِي كَانَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَبْعَثُ أُمِّي وَ أُمَّ فَرْوَةَ تَقْضِيَانِ حُقُوقَ أَهْلِ اَلْمَدِينَةِ.

It was narrated from Al-Kahili that He said: "I said to Abu Al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (a.s): ‘My wife and my sister, who is the wife of Muhammad ibn Marid, go out to mourning gatherings. I prohibited them, but they said to me, 'If it is forbidden, we will refrain, but if it is not forbidden, why do you prevent us when people refrain from fulfilling our rights (if we do not attend)?’ Imam (a.s) replied: 'You ask me about rights? My father (a.s) used to send my mother and Umm Farwah to fulfil the rights of the people of Medina.'
