سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَعْطى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلْقَهُ ثُمَّ هَدى قَالَ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ يُعْرَفُ مِنْ شَكْلِهِ الذَّكَرُ مِنَ الْأُنْثَى قُلْتُ مَا يَعْنِي ثُمَّ هَدى قَالَ هَدَاهُ لِلنِّكَاحِ وَ السِّفَاحِ مِنْ شَكْلِهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Sayf Bin Umeyra, from Ibrahim Bin Maymoun, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:20#h50"><a href="/books/quran:20#h50">[20:50]</a></a> Gave to everything its creation, then Guided it</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is nothing from the creatures of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> except that it is recognised from its form, the male from the female’. I said, ‘What is the Meaning of ‘then Guided it’?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Guided it to the marriage, but the adultery is from its (forbidden) form’.
