سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ فَقَالَ لِي لَوْ كَانَ لِي عَلَيْهِ سُلْطَانٌ لَأَوْجَعْتُ رَأْسَهُ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ اللَّهُ أَحَلَّهَا لَكَ فَمَا حَرَّمَهَا عَلَيْكَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى أَنْ كَذَبَ فَزَعَمَ أَنَّ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ حَرَامٌ وَ لَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ طَلَاقٌ وَ لَا كَفَّارَةٌ فَقُلْتُ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ ما أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ فَجَعَلَ فِيهِ الْكَفَّارَةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِ جَارِيَتَهُ مَارِيَةَ وَ حَلَفَ أَنْ لَا يَقْرَبَهَا فَإِنَّمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةَ فِي الْحَلْفِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ عَلَيْهِ فِي التَّحْرِيمِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Abu Nasr, from Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who says to his wife, ‘You are prohibited unto me’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘If there was authority for me<sup>asws</sup> upon him, I<sup>asws</sup> would have pained his head, and said to him: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Made her Permissible for you, so what is prohibiting her unto you?’ It does not increase upon a lie if he claims that whatever Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Permitted for him is prohibited, and a divorce does not enter upon him, nor an expiation’. So I said, ‘(What about) the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:66#h1"><a href="/books/quran:66#h1">[66:1]</a></a> O Prophet! Do not deny (yourself) that which Allah has made lawful for you</span>, so He<sup>azwj</sup> Made the expiation to be with regards to it?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But rather he<sup>saww</sup> forbid unto himself a slave girls Mariah (the Coptic), and swore that he<sup>saww</sup> would not go near her. But rather the expiation was Made to be upon him<sup>saww</sup> regarding the swear, and was not Made upon him<sup>saww</sup> for the prohibition’.
