كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ النِّكَاحِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ مَنْ خَطَبَ إِلَيْكُمْ فَرَضِيتُمْ دِينَهُ وَ أَمَانَتَهُ فَزَوِّجُوهُ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوهُ تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ فَسادٌ كَبِيرٌ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Husayn Bin Bashaar Al Wasity who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> asking him<sup>asws</sup> about the marriage. So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote to me: ‘The one who come with a marriage (proposal) to you, and you are pleased with his Religion and his trustworthiness, so marry (your daughter) to him, or if you do not, there would be strife in the land and a great mischief’.
