سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ قَدْ أَسْنَنْتُ وَ قَدْ تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً بِكْراً صَغِيرَةً وَ لَمْ أَدْخُلْ بِهَا وَ أَنَا أَخَافُ إِذَا أَدْخُلُ بِهَا عَلَى فِرَاشِي أَنْ تَكْرَهَنِي لِخِضَابِي وَ كِبَرِي فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا دَخَلْتَ فَمُرْهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَصِلَ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مُتَوَضِّئَةً ثُمَّ أَنْتَ لَا تَصِلُ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَتَوَضَّأَ وَ تُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ مَجِّدِ اللَّهَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثُمَّ ادْعُ اللَّهَ وَ مُرْ مَنْ مَعَهَا أَنْ يُؤَمِّنُوا عَلَى دُعَائِكَ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي إِلْفَهَا وَ وُدَّهَا وَ رِضَاهَا وَ رَضِّنِي بِهَا ثُمَّ اجْمَعْ بَيْنَنَا بِأَحْسَنِ اجْتِمَاعٍ وَ أَسَرِّ ائْتِلَافٍ فَإِنَّكَ تُحِبُّ الْحَلَالَ وَ تَكْرَهُ الْحَرَامَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْإِلْفَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ الْفِرْكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لِيُكَرِّهَ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I heard a man and he was saying to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! I am a man who has aged, and I have married a young virgin and have not slept with her, and I fear that when I do sleep with her upon my bed, she would dislike me due to my (hair) dye and my old age’. So Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When you go over, so instruct them before they send her to you that she should happen to be in <span class="iTxt">Wuzu</span>, then you (as well) should not go to her until you have performed <span class="iTxt">Wuzu</span>; and you should pray two Rak’at of <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, then Glorify Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and send Blessings upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>. Then supplicate to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and instruct the one who is with her than she should say ‘Ameen’ upon your supplication, and say, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Grace me her kindness, and her cordiality, and her pleasure, and my pleasure with her. Then Gather between us with the best of the gathering, and the most joyful of the coalitions, for You<sup>azwj</sup> Love the Permissible and You<sup>azwj </sup>Dislike the Prohibited’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And know, that the union is from Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and the separation is from the Satan<sup>la</sup> , (so people) abhor that which Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Permitted’.
