1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Malik ibn ‘Atiyyah from abu Hamzah al-Thumaliy who has said the following: “I once was with abu Ja’far when a man asked permission for a meeting. He came in and offered Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace). Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said welcome to him, gave him a place nearby and asked about his condition. The man said, T pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I proposed marriage to your Mawla’, so and so ibn abu Rafi‘ for his daughter so and so but he refused, turned away from me, considered me worthless, because of my ugliness, poverty and alienation, which attacked and broke my heart and I wished death to approach me.’ Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘You must go; you are my messenger to him and say to him that Muhammad ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn and ibn Ali ibn abu Talib says, “You must give your daughter so and so in marriage to my Mawla’ Munjih ibn Rabah and do not refuse.’” Abu Hamzah has said that the man jumped out with joy with the letter from abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam. When he left abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘There was a man from the people of Yamamah called Juwayabir who came to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, seeking success through Islam. He became a Muslim and a good Muslim. He was of short height, ugly looking, poor, naked and he was of the ugly looking people of Sudan. The Messenger of Allah associated with him closely because of his alienation and nakedness and had assigned 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 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-Madinah and the Masjid became smaller and congested. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, sent revelation to His holy prophet, to clean the Masjid, move from it those who slept there in the night, commanded to block all doors that opened to the Masjid except the door of Ali and the door to the living-quarter of Fatimah, ‘Alayha al-Salam. Everyone after sexual relation and before Ghusl (bath) was barred from entering the Masjid, and no alien could sleep in the Masjid. So the Messenger of Allah commanded to blocking all doors that opened to the Masjid except the door of Ali, and allowed the door of the living-quarter of Fatimah, ‘Alayha al-Salam, to remain as they were before.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, then commanded to build a canopy for the Muslims which was built and that was the platform or the edge. He (the Messenger of Allah) then commanded the emigrants and the poor ones to stay there for the night and days. They made it their home and gathered therein. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, would come to see them, bring for them wheat, dates, barley and raisins whenever available. The Muslims sympathized with them because the Messenger of Allah sympathized with them and spent their charity on them. The Messenger of Allah one day looked at Juwayabir 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.” Juwayabir then said, “O Messenger of Allah, I pray to Allah to keep my soul and the souls of my parents in service for your cause, who will want me? By Allah, I do not have any good position and social standing, or wealth, or physical beauty. No woman will ever pay attention to me.” The Messenger of Allah then said, “O Juwayabir, Allah by means of Islam has removed those who were called noble in pre-Islamic time of darkness and ignorance and has honored them with Islam. To those who did not have any social position before Islam, Allah has granted honor as well as to those who were considered low in the time of ignorance. With Islam He has removed the pride of the time of ignorance and people’s expressing pride because of tribes and strong genealogy. Today (we say) all people, white and black, those from Quraysh, Arab, non- Arab are all from Adam, and Adam was created by Allah from clay. The most beloved in the sight of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, on the Day of Judgment will be those who are most obedient to Him and most pious before Him. O Juwayabir, I do not see any of the Muslims as better than you except because of his being more pious and more obedient to Allah than you.’” He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘O Juwayabir, 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-Dhalfa’ in marriage to Juwayabir.”” He (the Imam) said that Juwayabir left with the message from the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, to Ziyad ibn Labid when he was at home with a group from his people. Juwayabir asked permission. He was informed and permission was granted. He entered and offered his greeting of peace, then said, ‘I am a messenger from the Messenger of Allah to you for a certain issue: if 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.’ Juwayabir said, ‘The Messenger of Allah says to you, “You must give your daughter al-Dhalfa’ in marriage to Juwayabir.’” Ziyad then asked him, ‘Has the Messenger of Allah sent you with this?’ Juwayabir replied, ‘Yes, I never want to 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- Madinah); so you must go back, O Juwayabir, until I meet the Messenger of Allah and inform him of my excuse.’ Juwayabir returned back saying, ‘By Allah, this is not what the Quran is all about or Prophet Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has appeared for it.’ Al-Dhalfa’, daughter of Ziyad in her living-quarter heard what Juwayabir 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 Juwayabir?’ 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, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, in his presence. You must now send a messenger to call him back.’ Ziyad sent a messenger to call Juwayabir and approached him and said. ‘O Juwayabir, 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, Juwayabir 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, Juwayabir 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, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, She said to him, ‘If you disobey the Messenger of Allah, you will become an unbeliever, so you must give in marriage to Juwayabir.’ Ziyad came out, held the hand of Juwayabir, 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 Juwayabir 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 Juwayabir with two dresses, brought al-Dhalfa’ to her house, and admitted Juwayabir also there. Juwayabir 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 Quran, 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. He 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, O Messenger of Allah, you commanded me to give my daughter in marriage to Juwayabir 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, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, 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-Quran, 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.’ Ziyad went back and the Messenger of Allah sent for Juwayabir and asked him, ‘Is it the case that you do not go close to women?’ Juwayabir 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?’ Juwayabir 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-Quran 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.’ 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 Juwayabir. They became delighted. Juwayabir kept his promise. Thereafter, the Messenger of Allah went out for an armed expedition, Juwayabir was with him and he became a martyr, may Allah, most High grant him mercy. In the community of al-Ansar (people of al-Madinah) there was no single woman in such a great demand than her (al-Dhalfa’) after Juwayabir.’”

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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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.’”

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.’”

Al-Zubayr was brother of ‘Abd Allah and abu Talib from both father and mother’s side.’”
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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Once a man from Basrah, a Shaybaniy man called ‘Abd al- Malik ibn Harmalah visited Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam. Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and said, ‘Your brother in-law to be appears to be the master of his tribe.’ Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam. 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, ‘Alayhi al- Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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.’”
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Faddal from Tha’labah ibn Maymun from those who narrated to him who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, married a slave-girl who belonged to al-Hassan ibn Ali ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan was informed about it. He wrote a letter to him (the Imam) that said, ‘I have heard that you have become the husband of a slave-girl!’ Ali ibn al-Husayn wrote back to him saying, ‘With Islam Allah has removed the lowliness and has completed the shortcomings, exonerated of the blame and there is no blame on a Muslim. Blame certainly is the blame of ignorance. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, arranged marriage for his male slave and married with his slave-girl.’ When the letter reached ‘Abd al-Malik he asked those near him, ‘Tell me who is such a man that when something that makes people low and humiliating, comes to him it increases for him nothing other than honor?’ They replied, ‘That is ’Amir al-Mu’minin (‘Abd al-Malik).’ He (‘Abd al-Malik) said, ‘No, by Allah that is not it.’ They then said, ‘We do not know anyone to be as such except ’Amir al-Mu’minin.’ He said, ‘No, by Allah, he is not ’Amir al-Mu’minin but he is Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi a/-Sa/am.’”
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim and Hammad from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the marriage of ‘Umm Kulthum has said, ‘It was a rape we suffered.”’

I swear by Allah, I will shut down Zamzam, leave no honor for you without being destroyed; I will prove him guilty of theft through two witnesses and cut off his right hand.’ Al- ‘Abbas went to him (the Imam) and informed him of what he had said and asked him (the Imam) to authorize him to settle the matter and he (the Imam) agreed.’”
1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Husayn ibn Bashshar al-Wasitiy who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and asked him about marriage. He (the Imam) wrote back to me the answer that said, ‘If one proposes marriage and if you are happy with that person’s religion and trust, then accept his proposal. If you do not do so there will be mischief in the land and a great destruction.’”
