سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ قَدْ أَسْنَنْتُ وَ قَدْ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً بِكْراً صَغِيرَةً وَ لَمْ أَدْخُلْ بِهَا وَ أَنَا أَخَافُ أَنَّهَا إِذَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيَّ تَرَانِي أَنْ تَكْرَهَنِي لِخِضَابِي وَ كِبَرِي فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا دَخَلَتْ فَمُرْهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَصِلَ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مُتَوَضِّئَةً ثُمَّ أَنْتَ لَا تَصِلُ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَوَضَّأَ وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ مَجِّدِ اللَّهَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثُمَّ ادْعُ وَ مُرْ مَنْ مَعَهَا أَنْ يُؤَمِّنُوا عَلَى دُعَائِكَ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي إِلْفَهَا وَ وُدَّهَا وَ رِضَاهَا وَ أَرْضِنِي بِهَا وَ اجْمَعْ بَيْنَنَا بِأَحْسَنِ اجْتِمَاعٍ وَ آنَسِ ائْتِلَافٍ فَإِنَّكَ تُحِبُّ الْحَلَالَ وَ تَكْرَهُ الْحَرَامَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْإِلْفَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ الْفِرْكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لِيُكَرِّهَ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, and a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I heard a man and he was saying to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! I am a man who had aged, and have married a young virgin woman and have not slept with her, and I fear that when she comes over to me, she would see me and dislike me due to my dyeing, and my old age’. Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When she comes over, so instruct her before she arrives to you that she should be in ablution. Then you should not go to her until you have performed ablution and Prayed two Cycles. Then you Glorify Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and send Blessings upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>. Then supplicate and instruct the ones who are with her that they should say Ameen upon your supplication, and say, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Grace me her kindness, and her cordiality, and her pleasure, and Make me to be pleased with her, and gather us together with the best of the gatherings, with kindly love, for You<sup>azwj</sup> Love the Permissible and Dislike the Prohibited’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And know that the kindness is from Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and the separation is from the Satan<sup>la</sup> disliking what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has Permitted’.
