Al-Kafi 10098

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Al Jowhary, from Is’haq Bin Ibrahim Al Ju’fy who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah^asws saying that Rasool-Allah^saww entered the chamber of Umm Salma^as, so he^saww smelt a good aroma. So he^saww said: ‘Al-Hawla came to you^as?’ So she^as said, ‘It is so. She is complaining about her husband’. So Al-Hawla came out to him^saww and she said, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you^saww! My husband has turned away from me’ So he^saww said: ‘Increase it (the perfuming), O Hawla’. She said, ‘I have not left any perfume from what I perfume myself for him with it, and he turns away from me’. So he^saww said: ‘But, if only he knew what is for him with his facing towards you’. She said, ‘And what is for him with facing towards me?’ So he^saww said: ‘But he, when he faces you, two Angels would encircle him, so he would be like the striker of his sword in the Way of Allah^azwj. So when he copulates, the sins would fall off from him like the falling of the leaves of the tree. So when he bathes, his sins would be pulled away’.
