Al-Kafi 12609

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from one of his companions, from Ali Bin Ismail Al Maysami, from Abu Al Jaroud who said, ‘I went over to Abu Ja’far^asws and he^asws was seated upon a chattel, so I went on to touch the chattel with my hand, so he^asws said: ‘This which you are touching with your hand, is <span class="iTxt">Armany</span> (Armenian)’. So I said to him^asws, ‘And what have you^asws to do with <span class="iTxt">Al-Armany</span>?’. So he^asws said: ‘This is a chattel which the mother of Ali came with’, a wife of his^asws’. So when it was another time, I went over to him^asws, so I went on to touch what was beneath me, so he^asws said: ‘It is as if you want to see what is beneath you’. So I said, ‘No, but the blind tend to tamper’. So he^asws said to me: ‘That chattel was for the mother of Ali, and she used to view by the opinions of the Khawarijites, so I^asws respited her for a night up to the morning that she might retract from her opinion, and accept the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineen^asws, but she refrained to me^asws. So when it was the morning, I^asws divorced her’.
