قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ لَا يَحِلَّ لِي أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى أَمْرِي فَقَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ الْبُلْهِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ قُلْتُ وَ مَا الْبُلْهُ قَالَ هُنَّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفَاتُ مِنَ اللَّاتِي لَا يَنْصِبْنَ وَ لَا يَعْرِفْنَ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Zurara who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I fear that it is not Permissible for me that I marry the one who does not happen to be upon my matter (<span class="iTxt">Wilayah</span>)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What is preventing you from the simple ones from the women?’ I said, ‘And what is the simple one?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They are the weak ones from those who are not establishing hostility (non <span class="iTxt">Nasibi</span>s), and they do not recognise what you are upon’.
