Hadith.4890 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr al-Bazanti narrated from Muhammad ibn Sama'ah, from Zurara, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) who said: I asked Imam (as) about a man who said to his wife: "You are forbidden to me." Imam (as) replied: "If I had authority over him, I would have struck his head and said to him, 'Allah (swt) the Exalted has made her lawful for you, so who has made her forbidden for you?' He has done nothing more than lie, claiming that what Allah (swt) has made lawful for him is forbidden. This does not count as divorce nor does it require any expiation." I then asked Imam (as) about the saying of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic: "O Prophet! Why do you forbid (yourself) what Allah (swt) has made lawful for you, seeking to please your wives? And Allah (swt) is Forgiving, Merciful. Allah (swt) has already ordained for you (Muslims) the dissolution of your oaths." (Surah At-Tahrim 66:1-2) Imam (as) replied: "The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) had forbidden himself from his bondwoman Mariyah and had sworn not to approach her. The expiation was made obligatory on him because of his oath, not because of the prohibition."

4891 - رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْفَضْلِ اَلْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ أَوْ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِدَّعَتْ عَلَيْهِ اِمْرَأَتُهُ أَنَّهُ عِنِّينٌ وَ يُنْكِرُ ذَلِكَ اَلرَّجُلُ قَالَ "تَحْشُوهَا اَلْقَابِلَةُ بِالْخَلُوقِ وَ لاَ يَعْلَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ وَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ خَرَجَ وَ عَلَى ذَكَرِهِ اَلْخَلُوقُ صَدَقَ وَ كَذَبَتْ وَ إِلاَّ صَدَقَتْ وَ كَذَبَ".

Hadith.4891 - Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Abdullah ibn al-Fadl al-Hashimi, from Abu Abdullah (as) who said: I asked Imam (as), or a man asked Imam (as), about a man whose wife accused him of being impotent while the man denied it. Imam (as) replied: "The midwife should apply khaluq (a type of perfume) to her without the man's knowledge. Then the man should enter upon her. If he comes out and khaluq is found on his private part, he has spoken the truth and she has lied. But if it is not found, then she has spoken the truth and he has lied."

4892 - وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "إِذَا اِدَّعَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا أَنَّهُ عِنِّينٌ وَ أَنْكَرَ اَلرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَلِكَ فَالْحُكْمُ فِيهِ أَنْ يَقْعُدَ اَلرَّجُلُ فِي مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ فَإِنِ اِسْتَرْخَى ذَكَرُهُ فَهُوَ عِنِّينٌ وَ إِنْ تَشَنَّجَ فَلَيْسَ بِعِنِّينٍ".

Hadith.4892 - In another narration, Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "If a woman accuses her husband of being impotent (ʿinnin) and the man denies it, the ruling in this case is that the man should sit in cold water. If his private part becomes relaxed, then he is indeed impotent. But if it becomes tense, then he is not impotent."

4893 - وَ رُوِيَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ: "أَنَّهُ يُطْعَمُ اَلسَّمَكَ اَلطَّرِيَّ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لَهُ بُلْ عَلَى اَلرَّمَادِ فَإِنْ ثَقَبَ بَوْلُهُ اَلرَّمَادَ فَلَيْسَ بِعِنِّينٍ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَثْقُبْ بَوْلُهُ اَلرَّمَادَ فَهُوَ عِنِّينٌ".

Hadith.4893 - In another narration, it is reported: "The man is to be fed fresh fish for three days, and then he is instructed to urinate on ashes. If his urine penetrates through the ashes, he is not impotent. However, if his urine does not penetrate the ashes, then he is indeed impotent."

4894 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "فِي اَلْعِنِّينِ إِذَا عُلِمَ أَنَّهُ عِنِّينٌ لاَ يَأْتِي اَلنِّسَاءَ فُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ إِذَا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا وَقْعَةً وَاحِدَةً لَمْ يُفَرَّقْ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ اَلرَّجُلُ لاَ يُرَدُّ مِنْ عَيْبٍ".

Hadith.4894 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Aban, from Ghiyath, from Abu Abdullah (as), who said: "In the case of an impotent man, if it is confirmed that he is indeed impotent and unable to approach women, they are to be separated. However, if he engages in intercourse with her even once, they are not to be separated. Moreover, a man cannot be rejected due to any physical defect."

4895 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلرَّبِيعِ اَلشَّامِيِّ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةً فَمَكَثَ أَيَّاماً مَعَهَا وَ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ رَأَى مِنْهَا مَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا أَ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ اِبْنَتَهَا قَالَ "لاَ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ وَ قَدْ رَأَى مِنْ أُمِّهَا مَا رَأَى".

Hadith.4895 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Khalid ibn Jarir, from Abu Al-Rabi' Al-Shami, who said: Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who married a woman and stayed with her for several days but was unable to consummate the marriage. However, he had seen from her what would make it forbidden for anyone else. Then he divorced her. He was asked whether it would be permissible for him to marry her daughter. Imam (as) replied: "It is not permissible for him as he has seen from her mother what he has seen."

4896 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "مَنْ أَتَى اِمْرَأَةً مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ أُخِّذَ عَنْهَا فَلاَ خِيَارَ لَهَا".

Hadith.4896 - In the narration of Al-Sakooni, it is reported that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Whoever engages in intercourse with a woman even once and then is separated from her, she has no option (of annulment or separation) thereafter."

4897 - وَ سَأَلَهُ عَمَّارٌ اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ : عَنْ رَجُلٍ أُخِّذَ عَنِ اِمْرَأَتِهِ فَلاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى إِتْيَانِهَا قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى إِتْيَانِ غَيْرِهَا مِنَ اَلنِّسَاءِ فَلاَ يُمْسِكُهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ تَرْضَى بِذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى إِتْيَانِ غَيْرِهَا فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِإِمْسَاكِهَا".

Hadith.4897 - Ammar Al-Sabati asked Imam Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who becomes unable to have intercourse with his wife. Imam (as) replied: "If he is also unable to have intercourse with any other woman, then he should not keep her unless she is content with that. However, if he is able to have intercourse with other women, then there is no harm in him keeping her as his wife."

4898 - وَ رُوِيَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ: "أَنَّهُ مَتَى أَقَامَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا بَعْدَ مَا عَلِمَتْ أَنَّهُ عِنِّينٌ وَ رَضِيَتْ بِهِ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا خِيَارٌ بَعْدَ اَلرِّضَا".

Hadith.4898 - It is narrated in another report: "Whenever a woman continues to live with her husband after knowing that he is impotent and she accepts him in that condition, she no longer has the option to separate from him after her acceptance."

4899 - رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ اَلْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِذَا دَخَلَتِ

عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ ".

Hadith.4899 - It has been narrated from Abu Said al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) advised Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), saying: "O Ali (as), when the bride enters your house, remove her shoes when she sits, wash her feet, and pour the water from the entrance of your house to the farthest part of your home. If you do this, Allah (swt) will remove seventy thousand kinds of poverty from your house and bring in seventy thousand kinds of blessings. Seventy mercies will descend upon her, fluttering over her head, and their blessings will reach every corner of your house. The bride will be protected from insanity, leprosy, and vitiligo as long as she remains in that house. Prevent the bride, during her first week, from consuming milk, vinegar, coriander, and sour apples. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) asked: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), why should I prevent her from these four things?' He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: 'Because the womb becomes barren and cold from these four things, which affect childbearing. A simple mat in the corner of the house is better than a woman who does not bear children.'" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), what is the reason for avoiding vinegar?" He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "If she menstruates while consuming vinegar, she will never attain complete purity. Coriander provokes menstruation in her womb and makes childbirth difficult for her. Sour apples cut off her menstruation and may cause illness for her." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "O Ali (as), do not approach your wife for intimacy at the beginning, middle, or end of the month, for insanity, leprosy, and mental disorder may affect her and your child. O Ali (as), do not engage in intimacy with your wife after noon, for if a child is conceived at that time, it may be cross-eyed, and Satan rejoices at cross-eyed humans. O Ali (as), do not speak during intimacy, for if a child is conceived, there is a risk that it may be born mute. And let no one look at the private parts of his wife; rather, he should lower his gaze during intimacy, for looking at the private parts causes blindness in the offspring. O Ali (as), do not engage in intimacy with your wife while imagining another woman, for I fear that if a child is conceived, it may be born as an effeminate or feminine-minded person. O Ali (as), if a person is in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) while in bed with his wife, he should not recite the Quran, for I fear that a fire from the sky may descend upon them and burn them." The compiler of this book, may Allah (swt) have mercy on him, explained that the prohibition refers specifically to the recitation of the verses of prostration (Ayat al-Aza'im), and not to other parts of the Quran. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) continued saying: "O Ali (as), do not engage in intimacy with your wife unless you have a cloth with you and she has a cloth with her, and do not wipe yourselves with the same cloth, for the desire will accumulate upon desire, which leads to enmity between you, eventually resulting in separation and divorce. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife while standing, for that is the behavior of donkeys. If a child is conceived in that state, he will urinate in the bed like donkeys that urinate everywhere. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife on the night of Eid al-Adha, for if a child is conceived, he may be born with six fingers or four fingers. O Ali (as), do not engage in intimacy with your wife under a fruit-bearing tree, for if a child is conceived in such a place, he may become a harsh and ruthless killer or a commander over others." O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife in the presence of the sun and its brightness unless you lower a covering to conceal yourselves, for if a child is conceived in such a state, he will live in misery and poverty until he dies. O Ali (as), do not engage in intimacy with your wife between the call to prayer (adhan) and the commencement of prayer (iqamah), for if a child is conceived, he will be eager to shed blood. O Ali (as), when your wife is pregnant, do not have relations with her unless you are in a state of ablution (wudu), for if a child is conceived, he will be blind of heart and stingy in hand. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife on the night of the middle of Shaban, for if a child is conceived, he will be unfortunate and may have a mark on his face. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife in the final days of the month, when only two days remain, for if a child is conceived, he will become a tax collector or an aide to oppressors, and the destruction of many people will be at his hands. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife on the rooftops of buildings, for if a child is conceived, he will become a hypocrite, a show-off, and an innovator in religion. O Ali (as), when you set out on a journey, do not engage in intimacy with your wife on the night of your departure, for if a child is conceived, he will spend his wealth inappropriately. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) then recited: "Indeed, the spendthrifts are brothers of the devils." O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife when you are leaving on a journey of three days and nights, for if a child is conceived, he will become a supporter of every oppressor against you. O Ali (as), engage in intimacy with your wife on Monday nights, for if a child is conceived, he will be a guardian of the Book of Allah (swt) and content with what Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has decreed. O Ali (as), if you have relations with your wife on Tuesday night and a child is conceived, he will be granted martyrdom after bearing witness to La ilaha illa Allah (swt) (There is no god but Allah (swt)) and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (swt). He will not be punished alongside the polytheists, and he will have a pleasant scent, a merciful heart, generous hands, and a tongue pure from gossip, lies, and false accusations. O Ali (as), if you have relations with your wife on Thursday night and a child is conceived, he will become a judge among judges or a scholar among scholars. If you have relations with her on Thursday during the time when the sun is at its zenith, and a child is conceived, Satan will not approach him until he reaches old age. He will be righteous and Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, will grant him safety in both religion and worldly matters. O Ali (as), if you have relations with her on Friday night and a child is conceived, he will become an eloquent speaker and a persuasive orator. If you have relations with her on Friday after the afternoon (Asr) prayer and a child is conceived, he will be known, famous, and a scholar. If you have relations with her on Friday night after the late evening (Isha) prayer, it is hoped that the child will be among the abdal (pious individuals), if Allah (swt), the Exalted, wills. O Ali (as), do not have relations with your wife in the early hours of the night, for if a child is conceived, there is a risk that he may become a sorcerer and one who prefers the worldly life over the Hereafter. O Ali (as), safeguard this advice of mine just as I have preserved it from Jibril (as)."
