إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ الْغَيْرَةَ لِلنِّسَاءِ وَ إِنَّمَا تَغَارُ الْمُنْكِرَاتُ مِنْهُنَّ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ فَلَا إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الْغَيْرَةَ لِلرِّجَالِ لِأَنَّهُ أَحَلَّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَرْبَعاً وَ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ إِلَّا زَوْجَهَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَتْ مَعَهُ غَيْرَهُ كَانَتْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ زَانِيَةً . قَالَ وَ رَوَاهُ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَإِنْ بَغَتْ مَعَهُ غَيْرَهُ .
Translation
From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Sa’ad Bin Al Jallab, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic did not Make the sense of ‘الْغَيْرَةُ’ (honour of lineage) to be for the women, and rather it is the evil ones of them who express it, and as for the Believing women, so they don’t. But rather, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Made the sense of ‘الْغَيْرَةُ’ to be for the men because He<sup>azwj</sup> Permitted four (wives) for the men and whatever his right hands possess (slave girls), and did not Make it to be for the women except for her (one) husband. So if she were to intend someone else along with him, she would be an adulteress in the Presence of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And it has been reported by Al Qasim Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al Hassan Bin Rashid, from Abu Bakr Al Hazramy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> except that he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So if she were to be immoral with someone else along with him’.
