قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي قُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي إِنْ خَرَجْتِ مِنْ بَابِ الْحُجْرَةِ فَخَرَجَتْ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي قَوِيٌّ عَلَى أَنْ أُكَفِّرَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ قُلْتُ إِنِّي قَوِيٌّ عَلَى أَنْ أُكَفِّرَ رَقَبَةً وَ رَقَبَتَيْنِ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ قَوِيتَ أَوْ لَمْ تَقْوَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from a man from our companions, from a man who said, ‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I said to my wife, ‘You would be unto me like the back of my mother if you go out from the door of the chamber’. So she went out. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is nothing upon you’. So I said, ‘I am (financially) strong enough to expiate’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is nothing upon you’. I said, ‘I am strong enough to expiate by freeing a neck and two necks’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is nothing upon you, whether you are (financially) strong or not strong’.
