دَخَلَ قَوْمٌ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالُوا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ نَرَى فِي مَنْزِلِكَ أَشْيَاءَ نَكْرَهُهَا وَ إِذَا فِي مَنْزِلِهِ بُسُطٌ وَ نَمَارِقُ فَقَالَ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّا نَتَزَوَّجُ النِّسَاءَ فَنُعْطِيهِنَّ مُهُورَهُنَّ فَيَشْتَرِينَ مَا شِئْنَ لَيْسَ لَنَا مِنْهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Mansour Bin Al Abbas, from saeed Bin Janaah, from Abu Khalid Al Zaydi, from Jabir, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A group of people came over to Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> Bin Ali<sup>asws</sup>, so they said, ‘O son<sup>asws</sup> of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! We see such things in your<sup>asws</sup> dwelling which we dislike’, and in his<sup>asws</sup> house were rugs and cushions. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘We<sup>asws</sup> marry women, so we<sup>asws</sup> give them their dowries, and they buy whatever they so desire to. There is nothing for us<sup>asws</sup> from it’.
