قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي وَ امْرَأَةَ ابْنِ مَارِدٍ تَخْرُجَانِ فِي الْمَأْتَمِ فَأَنْهَاهُمَا فَتَقُولُ لِيَ امْرَأَتِي إِنْ كَانَ حَرَاماً فَانْهَنَا عَنْهُ حَتَّى نَتْرُكَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ حَرَاماً فَلِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تَمْنَعُنَاهُ فَإِذَا مَاتَ لَنَا مَيِّتٌ لَمْ يَجِئْنَا أَحَدٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْحُقُوقِ تَسْأَلُنِي كَانَ أَبِي ( عليه السلام ) يَبْعَثُ أُمِّي وَ أُمَّ فَرْوَةَ تَقْضِيَانِ حُقُوقَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abdullah Al Kahily who said, ‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, ‘My wife and the wife of Ibn Marid both (wanted to) go out for the mourning, but I forbade them. So my wife said to me, ‘If it was Prohibited, so forbid us from it until we leave it; and if it was not Prohibited, so for which thing are you forbidding us? So when one of us dies, no one would come to us’. So Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You are asking me about the rights. My<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> used to send my<sup>asws</sup> mother<sup>asws</sup> and Umm Farwa<sup>as</sup> to fulfil the rights of the people of Al-Medina’.
