Book of Marriage (nikah)
Chapter on What Allah {swt}, the Almighty, Has Made Permissible and Prohibited in Marriage
4425 - وَ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "صِنْفَانِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لاَ نَصِيبَ لَهُمَا فِي اَلْإِسْلاَمِ اَلنَّاصِبُ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِي حَرْباً وَ غَالٍ فِي اَلدِّينِ مَارِقٌ مِنْهُ".
Hadith.4425 - The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said:
"Two groups from my nation have no share in Islam: those who harbor enmity against my household and declare war against them, and those who are extreme in religion and deviate from it."
4426 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "تَزَوَّجُوا فِي اَلشُّكَّاكِ وَ لاَ تُزَوِّجُوهُمْ لِأَنَّ اَلْمَرْأَةَ تَأْخُذُ مِنْ أَدَبِ زَوْجِهَا وَ يَقْهَرُهَا عَلَى دِينِهِ ".
Hadith.4426 - Safwan narrated from Zurara, who reported from Abu Abdullah (as), that he said: "Marry among those who are doubtful (in faith), but do not give them your daughters in marriage, for the woman adopts the manners of her husband and he compels her to follow his religion."
4427 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ : وَ كَانَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِهِ يُرِيدُ اَلتَّزْوِيجَ فَلَمْ يَجِدِ اِمْرَأَةً يَرْضَاهَا فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ "أَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنَ اَلْبَلْهَاءِ وَ اَللَّوَاتِي لاَ يَعْرِفْنَ شَيْئاً" قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا يَقُولُ إِنَّ اَلنَّاسَ عَلَى وَجْهَيْنِ كَافِرٍ وَ مُؤْمِنٍ فَقَالَ "فَأَيْنَ اَلَّذِينَ خَلَطُوا عَمَلاً صٰالِحاً وَ آخَرَ سَيِّئاً وَ أَيْنَ اَلْ مُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ اَللّٰهِ أَيْ عَفْوِ اَللَّهِ".
Hadith.4427 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Yunus ibn Yaqub, who reported from Humran ibn Ayan: Some of his family members were seeking to marry, but they could not find a woman they deemed suitable. This matter was mentioned to Abu Abdullah (as), who said:
"Where are you regarding the simple and innocent women, those who know nothing?"
I said: "But people say that humanity is divided into two types: believer and disbeliever."
Imam (as) replied: "Then where are those about whom Allah (swt) said: 'They mixed a righteous deed with another that was evil.' (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:102) and where are those who are 'deferred until Allah's (swt) command,' (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:106), awaiting for Allah's (swt) pardon?"
4428 - وَ رَوَى يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَشَّارٍ اَلْوَاسِطِيِّ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ لِي قَرَابَةً قَدْ خَطَبَ إِلَيَّ اِبْنَتِي وَ فِي خُلُقِهِ سُوءٌ فَقَالَ "لاَ تُزَوِّجْهُ إِنْ كَانَ سَيِّئَ اَلْخُلُقِ".
Hadith.4428 - Yaqub ibn Yazid narrated from Al-Husayn ibn Bashshar Al-Wasiti, who said:
I wrote to Abu Al-Hasan Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) saying:
"I have a relative who has proposed to my daughter, but he has bad character."
Imam (as) replied: "Do not marry her to him if he has bad character."
4429 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "مَا أُحِبُّ لِلرَّجُلِ اَلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةً إِذَا كَانَتْ ضَرَّةً لِأُمِّهِ مَعَ غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ".
Hadith.4429 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Jamil ibn Salih, from Zurara, who said:
I heard Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) say: "I do not like for a Muslim man to marry a woman who would be a co-wife to his mother, with someone other than his father."
4430 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اِمْرَأَةٍ اُبْتُلِيَتْ بِشُرْبِ نَبِيذٍ فَسَكِرَتْ فَزَوَّجَتْ نَفْسَهَا رَجُلاً فِي سُكْرِهَا ثُمَّ أَفَاقَتْ فَأَنْكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ ظَنَّتْ أَنَّهُ يَلْزَمُهَا فَوَرِعَتْ مِنْهُ فَأَقَامَتْ مَعَ اَلرَّجُلِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ اَلتَّزْوِيجِ أَ حَلاَلٌ هُوَ لَهَا أَوِ اَلتَّزْوِيجُ فَاسِدٌ لِمَكَانِ اَلسُّكْرِ وَ لاَ سَبِيلَ لِلرَّجُلِ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ "إِذَا أَقَامَتْ مَعَهُ بَعْدَ مَا أَفَاقَتْ فَهُوَ رِضَاهَا، " فَقُلْتُ وَ هَلْ يَجُوزُ ذَلِكَ اَلتَّزْوِيجُ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ "نَعَمْ".
Hadith.4430 - Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Bazi reported that he asked Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as), about a woman who had been afflicted with drinking wine and became intoxicated, then married herself to a man while in her intoxicated state.
When she sobered up, she denied it but then assumed that the marriage might be binding, so she remained with the man out of caution based on that marriage.
He asked whether this was lawful for her or if the marriage was invalid due to the intoxication, and whether the man had any claim over her.
Imam (as) said: "If she remained with him after she sobered up, then that is her consent."
He then asked: "Does such a marriage become valid for her?"
Imam (as) replied: "Yes."
4431 - وَ رَوَى عَمْرُو بْنُ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْقَابِلَةِ أَ يَحِلُّ لِلْمَوْلُودِ أَنْ يَنْكِحَهَا قَالَ "لاَ وَ لاَ اِبْنَتَهَا هِيَ كَبَعْضِ أُمَّهَاتِهِ".
Hadith.4431 - Amr ibn Shimr reported from Jabir, who said:
I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), about the midwife, whether it is permissible for the child she delivered to marry her.
Imam (as) replied: "No, nor her daughter. She is like one of his mothers."
4432 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "إِنْ قَبِلَتْ وَ مَرَّتْ فَالْقَوَابِلُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ قَبِلَتْ وَ رَبَّتْ حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْهِ".
Hadith.4432 - It is narrated from Mu'awiyah ibn 'Ammar that Abu Abdullah (as) said:
"If she only received (the child) and then left, then midwives are more common than that. But if she received and raised (the child), then she becomes prohibited for him."
4433 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمُحْرِمِ يَتَزَوَّجُ قَالَ "لاَ وَ لاَ يُزَوِّجُ اَلْمُحْرِمُ اَلْمُحِلَّ".
Hadith.4433 - It is narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Yunus ibn Ya'qub, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a person in the state of ihram getting married.
Imam (as) said: "No, and one in the state of ihram cannot perform the marriage of someone who is not in ihram."
4434 - وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ: "إِنْ زَوَّجَ أَوْ تَزَوَّجَ فَنِكَاحُهُ بَاطِلٌ".
Hadith.4434 - And in another narration:
"If he marries or gets married while in the state of ihram, his marriage is invalid."
