سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَ سُئِلَ عَنِ التَّزْوِيجِ فِي شَوَّالٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) تَزَوَّجَ بِعَائِشَةَ فِي شَوَّالٍ وَ قَالَ إِنَّمَا كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ فِي شَوَّالٍ أَهْلُ الزَّمَنِ الْأَوَّلِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ الطَّاعُونَ كَانَ يَقَعُ فِيهِمْ فِي الْأَبْكَارِ وَ الْمُمَلَّكَاتِ فَكَرِهُوهُ لِذَلِكَ لَا لِغَيْرِهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I heard him<sup>asws</sup> saying, and he<sup>asws</sup> was asked about the marriage in (the month of) Shawwal. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The Prophet<sup>asws</sup> got married with Ayesha in Shawwal’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But rather, that was disliked in the Shawwal among the people of the former times, and that is because the plague had occurred among them regarding the virgins and the slave girls, therefore they disliked it due to that, not for something else’.
