Al-Kafi 10236

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Balaad and Yahya Bin Ibrahim, from his father Ibrahim, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘There were aprroximately thirty men in the presence of Abu Abdullah^asws, when my father came over to him^asws. So Abu Abdullah^asws welcomed him and made him to be seated to his^asws side, and faced him for a long time. Then Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘There is a need for Abu Muawiya to me^asws, so if you could lessen’. So we stood up altogether, but my father said to me, ‘Return, O Muawiya!’. So I returned. So Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘This is your son?’ He said, ‘Yes, and he is alleging that the people of Al-Medina are doing something which is not Permissible for them’. He^asws said: ‘And what is it?’ I said, ‘The Qureyshi Hashimite woman rode and placed her hand upon the head of the black (slave), and her arm was upon his neck’. So Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘O my^asws son! Have you not read the Quran?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘Recite this Verse <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:33#h55"><a href="/books/quran:33#h55">[33:55]</a></a> There is no blame on them (wives) in respect of their fathers, nor their sons</span>’ until he^asws reached <span class="bTxt">‘</span><span class="ibTxt">nor of what their right hands possess</span>’. Then he^asws said: ‘O my^asws son! There is no problem if the slave were to see the hair and the leg’.
