قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فِي رِسَالَتِهِ إِلَى الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِيَّاكَ وَ مُشَاوَرَةَ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّ رَأْيَهُنَّ إِلَى الْأَفْنِ وَ عَزْمَهُنَّ إِلَى الْوَهْنِ وَ اكْفُفْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ بِحِجَابِكَ إِيَاهُنَّ فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحِجَابِ خَيْرٌ لَكَ وَ لَهُنَّ مِنَ الِارْتِيَابِ وَ لَيْسَ خُرُوجُهُنَّ بِأَشَدَّ مِنْ دُخُولِ مَنْ لَا تَثِقُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا يَعْرِفْنَ غَيْرَكَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ فَافْعَلْ . أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحُسَيْنِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدَكٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ ظَرِيفِ بْنِ نَاصِحٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَتَبَ بِهَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَى ابْنِهِ مُحَمَّدِ [بْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ] .

<span style="font-size: small">Abu Abdullah Al Ashary, from one of our companions, from Ja’far Bin Anbasa, from Ubada Bin Ziyad, from Amro Bin Abu Al Miqdam,</span> from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>; <span style="font-size: small">and Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Aasimy, from the one who narrated it, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hassan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Kaseer, </span> (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said regarding his<sup>asws</sup> letter to Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>: ‘Beware of consulting the women, for their opinion leads to the annihilation, and their determination leads to the weakness, and restrain yourself from their gaze by your veiling from them, for the intense veiling is better for you and for them than the doubts, and their exit (from the house) is not more difficult than the entry of the one whom they cannot be relied upon to be with. So if you are able that no one other than you from the men can know them, so do it’. Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Husayni, from Ali Bin Abdak, from Al Hassan Bin Zareyf Bin Nasih, from Al Husayn Bin Ulwan, from Sa’ad Bin Tareyf, from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata, from Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>, similar to it, except that he said that Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> wrote this letter to his<sup>asws</sup> son Muhammad (Bin Al-Hanafiyya)’.
