كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فِي التَّزْوِيجِ فَأَتَانِي كِتَابُهُ بِخَطِّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا جَاءَكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ خُلُقَهُ وَ دِينَهُ فَزَوِّجُوهُ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوهُ تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ فَسادٌ كَبِيرٌ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Hamdany who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> regarding the marriage, so his<sup>asws</sup> letter came to me in his<sup>asws</sup> own handwriting: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘When there comes to you one whose manners and his Religion you are pleased with, so marry to him, or if you do not, there would occur strife in the land and a great mischief’.
