Hadiths Rares

14. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from certain persons of Iraq from Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna’ from his father from ‘Uthman ibn Yazid from Jabir who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has condemned a man who looks to the genitals of a woman who is not lawful for him, a man who has betrayed his brother about his wife and a man whom people need for his benefits but he asks for a bribe.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a maudit un homme qui regarde les parties intimes d'une femme qui ne lui est pas licite, un homme qui trahit son frère concernant sa femme, et un homme dont les biens sont nécessaires aux gens et qui leur demande un pot-de-vin.

15. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Zur’ah ibn Muhammad who has said the following: “There was a man in al-Madinah and he had a very beautiful slave-girl who attracted a man who liked her and he complained before abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, who told him to avoid looking to her and on seeing her say, T ask Allah from His extra bounties.’ He followed the instruction. In a short time her master decided to leave for a journey and he came to the man and said, ‘O so and so, you are my neighbor and the most trustworthy of all people to me. I must leave for a journey and I like to leave so and so my slave-girl in your care.’ He replied, T do not have a wife and there is no woman in the house with me; then how can I keep your slave-girl with me?’ He said, T will find her price for you and you take responsibility of that assets (her price) for me and when I will come back, sell her to me and I will buy her from you. If you like to benefit from her it is lawful for you.’ He then did as he had said and made him responsible for the price of the slave-girl and left. She stayed with him as long as Allah wanted and he satisfied himself in what he wished. Thereafter a messenger of the Khalifah of Amawide came to buy slave-girls for him. She was one of those mentioned to be bought for him. The governor sent a person to him asking about the slave-girl of so and so. He said that so and so is not present. He was forced to sell and paid him with profits for him. When they took the slave-girl and left al-Madinah her master came back and the first thing he asked was about his slave-girl as to how she was doing. He informed him about what had happened and brought to him all that was paid for her; the price he had set and the extra profit and said, ‘This is the price and this is the profit, so accept it.’ He refused to accept more than the price he had set saying, ‘The extra is for you in good health. Allah did it for him because of his good intentions.’”

Il y avait un homme à Médine qui possédait une esclave précieuse. Un autre homme en tomba amoureux et se plaignit de cela à Abi 'Abdillah (sur lui la paix). Il lui dit : "Expose-toi à sa vue et chaque fois que tu la vois, dis : 'Je demande à Allah de Sa grâce'. Il fit ainsi et peu de temps après, son maître décida de la vendre pour un voyage. Il vint alors vers l'homme et lui dit : 'Ô Untel, tu es mon voisin et la personne en qui j'ai le plus confiance. J'ai décidé de voyager et j'aimerais te confier Fulana, mon esclave, pour qu'elle reste chez toi.' L'homme répondit : 'Je n'ai pas de femme ni de femme chez moi, comment ta esclave pourrait-elle être chez moi ?' Il dit : 'Je la mettrai en gage avec toi pour le prix convenu, et tu me la vendras quand je reviendrai. Si tu en tires profit, tu auras ce qui est licite pour toi.' Il accepta et augmenta le prix. L'homme partit et elle resta avec lui aussi longtemps qu'Allah le voulut, jusqu'à ce qu'il décide de la libérer. Puis un messager vint de la part de l'un des califes des Banu Umayya pour acheter des esclaves, et elle était parmi celles qui devaient être vendues. Le gouverneur l'envoya à cet homme en disant : 'La servante de Untel.' Il répondit : 'Untel est absent.' Il le força à la vendre et lui donna plus que le prix convenu, incluant le bénéfice. Lorsqu'elle fut emmenée hors de Médine, son maître vint vers lui et la première chose qu'il lui demanda fut des nouvelles de la servante. Il lui donna les informations à son sujet et lui remit tout l'argent qu'il avait mis en gage, ainsi que le bénéfice. Il dit : 'Voici son prix, prends-le.' L'homme refusa en disant : 'Je ne prendrai que ce que tu as mis en gage, et ce qui est en surplus est pour toi, une bénédiction.' Allah lui accorda une belle récompense pour sa bonne intention.

16. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘It is not unlawful to sleep between the two of your slave-girls or free wives; your women are like dolls.’”

Il n'y a aucun mal à ce qu'un homme dorme entre deux servantes ou deux concubines, car vos femmes sont comme des jouets.

17. Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith the following is narrated: “It is Makruh (undesirable) to go to bed with one’s wife facing al-Qiblah (al-Ka’bah).”

Il est détestable pour un homme d'avoir des rapports intimes en étant face à la Qibla.

18. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ja’far ibn Yahya al-Khuza’iy from certain persons of our people who has said the following: “I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about the case of my buying a slave-girl who was born out of wedlock and she was involved with me in everything. He (the Imam) said, ‘Ask her mother who her father is; then ask the one involved with her mother to make it lawful for you so that the child will be born fine.’” (According to the footnote it may not work properly).”’

J'ai dit : "J'ai acheté une esclave sans conseil et elle m'a causé des ennuis à chaque occasion." Il a répondu : "Demande à sa mère à qui elle appartenait." Alors, interroge-la pour savoir à qui elle appartenait, afin que le coupable soit autorisé par sa mère à réparer ce qu'il a fait pour que l'enfant soit bien élevé."

19. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from abu Ayyub from Burayd al-’Ijliy who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘. . . We took from you a ghaliz (thick) pledge and oath from you.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The pledge or oath refers to the term by which marriage is declared and ‘ ghaliz ’ (thick) refers to the liquid that flows from man to woman.’”

Le pacte est la parole par laquelle le mariage est conclu, et quant à dire "ferme", c'est le sperme de l'homme qui atteint sa femme.

20. Ibn Mahbub has narrated from Hisham ibn Salim from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who marries a woman and who says that she is pregnant and that she is his sister because of breastfeeding and that she has not completed her waiting period. He (the Imam) said, ’If he has gone to bed (engaged in sexual intercourse) with her, he must not accept her words but if he has not done so, he must investigate if he did not know before.’”

J'ai interrogé Aba Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) au sujet d'un homme qui a épousé une femme, et elle dit : "Je suis enceinte et je suis ta sœur par allaitement, et je suis dans un état non menstruel." Il a répondu : "S'il a eu des rapports avec elle et qu'elle tombe enceinte, il ne doit pas la croire. Mais s'il n'a pas eu de rapports avec elle et qu'elle n'est pas enceinte, qu'il la mette à l'épreuve et qu'il s'informe s'il ne la connaissait pas auparavant."

21. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma’il from Ali al-Nu’man from Suwayd al-Qala’ from Sama‘ah from abu Basir who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who is found in a house with a woman who confirms that she is his wife and she confirms that he is her husband. He (the Imam) said, ‘In the case of a certain man I can consider it permissible and in the case of a certain man if I find him as such I strike him (dead).”’

Un homme a été surpris avec une femme dans une maison, et il a reconnu qu'elle était sa femme et elle a reconnu qu'il était son mari. Il se peut qu'un homme soit amené à témoigner en sa faveur et qu'il soit pardonné, et il se peut qu'un homme soit amené à témoigner contre lui et qu'il soit puni.

22. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from certain persons of his people from al-Hassan ibn al-Husayn al-Darir from Hammad ibn ‘Isa who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has narrated from his father who has said, that a man proposed marriage in a family and they asked, ‘What is your business?’ He replied, ‘I sell animals.’ They accepted his proposal and found out that he sells cats, so they took their dispute before ’Amir al- Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, who validated the marriage saying that cats are animals.’”

Un homme a fait un discours à un peuple et ils lui ont demandé : "Quel est ton commerce ?" Il a répondu : "Je vends des chameaux." Ils l'ont donc marié. Quand il a commencé à vendre des cloches, ils ont porté l'affaire devant l'Imam des croyants (sur lui la paix). Il a alors autorisé son mariage. Les cloches sont des animaux.

23. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Nuh ibn Shu’ayb in a marfu’ manner from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “Once a man from al-Ansar (people of al-Madinah) came to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and said, ‘This is my wife and daughter of my uncle. I do not know anything about her except good but she has given birth to a very dark skin child, with wide nostrils, curly hairs and pointed nose. I do not find anyone like him among my maternal uncles or ancestors. He (the Messenger of Allah) asked the woman, ‘What do you say?’ She said, ‘No, by the One who has sent you in all truth as a prophet that I have never allowed anyone other than him to sit with me as he does.’ He (the Imam) said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, bent down his head for a while and raised his head to the sky; then turned to the man and said, ‘O you, take notice that between everyone and Adam there are ninety-nine veins all of which strike in lineage. When the seed falls in the womb those veins surge and ask Allah for resemblance to it. So this is from those veins which your ancestors did not get. Take your child with you.’ The woman said, ‘Thank you, O Messenger of Allah for providing me such a great relief.’”

Un homme parmi les Ansar est venu voir le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) et a dit : "Voici la fille de mon oncle et ma femme, je ne connais d'elle que du bien, et elle m'a apporté un enfant très sombre, aux cheveux épars, bouclés, avec un nez épaté. Je ne trouve pas de ressemblance avec lui ni parmi mes frères ni parmi mes ancêtres." Sa femme a dit : "Non, par Celui qui t'a envoyé en tant que Prophète de vérité, je n'ai pas été approchée par un autre que toi depuis qu'un homme m'a possédée." Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a incliné la tête, puis a levé les yeux vers le ciel, puis s'est tourné vers l'homme et a dit : "Ô toi, il n'y a pas une seule personne, entre lui et Adam, qui n'ait quatre-vingt-dix-neuf liens de parenté, tous frappant dans la généalogie. Lorsque la goutte de sperme atteint l'utérus, ces liens se mettent en mouvement, demandant à Allah la ressemblance pour elle. Cela vient de ces liens que tes ancêtres et les ancêtres de tes ancêtres n'ont pas connus. Prends ton fils avec toi." La femme a dit : "Tu as dissipé mes doutes, ô Messager d'Allah."

24. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from ‘Imran ibn Musa from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid from Muhammad ibn Shu’ayb who has said the following: “I once wrote to him (the Imam), ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who proposed marriage to the daughter of his uncle who instructed a certain one of his brothers to give his daughter in marriage to him and she is the one for whom he has proposed. The man by mistake gives her a different name and no one of that name exists in the family. Her name was Fatimah but he gives her a different name. He (the Imam) signed the answer which said, ‘It is not harmful/”

Il n'y a pas de mal en cela.

25. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Khazraj who has said the following: “A man once wrote to him (the Imam), ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and asked him (the Imam) about his marriage proposal which had taken place many years, months and days ago and he is not certain if he asked to declare the terms of marriage or it was already declared. He (the Imam) answered him on the issue, ‘It is not obligatory for him to do anything other than what his heart is tied down with and about which his decision is established.’”

Il n'est pas obligé de le faire sauf s'il a déjà engagé son cœur et s'est déterminé à le faire.

26. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from and Muhammad ibn Ali from Muhammad al-Qasaniy from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Sulayman ibn Dawud, ‘Isa ibn Yunus from al-Awza’iy from al-Zuhriy who has said the following: “About the case of a man who claims to have married a woman in the presence of witnesses and her guardian but she denies it and the sister of this woman presents testimony that the man has married her in the presence of witnesses and her guardian but she does not prove the time of marriage. Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, issued a judgment in this case that said, ‘The testimony of the man is admitted and accepted and the testimony of the woman is not accepted because the husband is entitled to claim his conjugal right and her sister wants to destroy such right so she must not be taken as truthful and her testimony is unacceptable without specifying the time before her time or proof of consummation of marriage (the couple’s going to bed).”’

concernant un homme qui accuse une femme d'avoir été mariée par un tuteur et des témoins, mais que la femme nie. Alors, la sœur de cette femme apporte la preuve que cet homme l'a effectivement mariée avec un tuteur et des témoins, mais sans fixer de date. Il est alors écrit que la preuve est celle de l'homme et non celle de la femme, car le mari a le droit sur cette femme et sa sœur veut corrompre le mariage. Sa preuve n'est pas acceptée, et sa preuve n'est acceptée qu'avant son délai ou lorsqu'elle est consommée.

27. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn al-Muhtadiy who has said the following: “I once asked al-Rida’, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, my brother died and I married his widow and a man came saying that he had married her secretly. I asked her about it but she denied it vehemently saying, ‘There has never been such a thing between us.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Her confirming makes it obligatory on you to accept her words and her denial makes it obligatory on him to accept her denial.’”

Le Prophète (que la paix et les bénédictions de Dieu soient sur lui et sa famille) a dit : "Lorsque quelqu'un épouse la femme de son frère décédé, il ne doit pas laisser entrer son oncle maternel dans sa maison avant qu'il ne l'ait renvoyée trois fois." (Hadith 2054 d'Al-Kāfi - Volume 5)

28. Ali has narrated from his father from ibn abu Nasr from al-Mashriqiy who has said the following: “I once asked al-Rida’, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who proposes marriage to a woman who is playful and joking about it. He asks the woman about it and she says, ‘Yes.’ He (the Imam) ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘It does not mean anything valid.’ I then asked, ‘Can one marry her?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’”

J'ai demandé à Ar-Riḍā (que la paix soit sur lui) : "Que dites-vous au sujet d'un homme qui prétend avoir demandé une femme en mariage pour lui-même alors qu'elle plaisantait, et que la femme a été interrogée à ce sujet et a répondu par l'affirmative ?" Il a dit : "Il n'y a rien." J'ai demandé : "Est-il permis à l'homme de l'épouser ?" Il a dit : "Oui."

29. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Harun ibn Muslim from Mas’adah ibn Sadaqah who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, saying, when he was asked about marriage in the month of Shawwal, ‘The Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, married ‘A’ishah in the month of Shawwal.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘People of the earlier times considered marriage in the month of Shawwal as undesirable because plague occurred in virgins and slave-girls thus they disliked for this reason and not the other reasons.’”

...quand on lui a demandé à propos du mariage pendant le mois de Shawwāl, il a répondu : Le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) a épousé 'Ā'ishah pendant le mois de Shawwāl. Il a dit : Cela était déconseillé pour les gens du premier temps de cette époque, car la peste les touchait particulièrement les jeunes filles et les esclaves. C'est pour cela qu'ils le déconseillaient, et non pour une autre raison.

30. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from al-Husayn ibn Bashshar al-Wasitiy who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu al-Hassan al-Rida’, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and asked, ‘One of my relatives has proposed for marriage but there is something in his moral manners. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must not give in marriage if his moral manners are bad/”

Je lui ai écrit à Abi Al-Hasan Ar-Rida (que la paix soit sur lui) que j'avais un proche qui m'avait demandé en mariage, mais dont le comportement laissait à désirer. Il a répondu : Ne le marie pas s'il a un mauvais caractère.

31. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ja’far from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Mutahhar who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu al-Hassan Sahib al-‘Askar saying, ‘I have married four women and have not asked for their names. I want to divorce one of them and marry another woman. He (the Imam) wrote to me, ‘Look for a mark on any one of them and then say, ‘Bear witness that so and so who has such and such mark is divorced; then marry the other woman when waiting period is complete/”

J'ai écrit à Abi al-Hasan, le compagnon de l'armée (que la paix soit sur lui), que j'ai épousé quatre femmes sans demander leurs noms. Ensuite, j'ai voulu divorcer l'une d'entre elles et épouser une autre. Il a écrit : Regarde le signe distinctif. Si l'une d'entre elles en a un, alors dis : "Je témoigne que telle femme, celle avec ce signe, est répudiée", puis épouse une autre après la fin du délai d'attente.

32. Muhammad ibn Yahya in a marfu’ manner has narrated the following: Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin has said, ‘A woman does not give birth before six months/”

L'Imam des croyants (que les prières et la paix de Dieu soient sur lui) a dit: "Une femme ne porte pas un enfant de moins de six mois."

33. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘When two believing people come together by means of lawful marriage a caller from the sky announces, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has given so and so in marriage to so and so, and when a wife and husband separate (divorce) in a lawful manner, a caller from the sky announces, ‘Allah has given permission to so and so wife and husband to separate (divorce) from each other/”

Il n'y a pas deux croyants qui se réunissent pour un mariage licite sans qu'un crieur des cieux ne proclame : "Certes, Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, a uni tel et tel". Et deux époux licites ne se séparent pas sans qu'un crieur des cieux ne proclame : "Certes, Allah a autorisé la séparation entre tel et tel".

34. Ibn Mahbub has narrated from Ibrahim al-Karkhiy who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who has four wives and spends the night with three of them in their assigned time and touches them but during the night for the fourth one he does not touch her; if it is sinful for him. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must stay with her in her assigned night until the morning and it is not a sin if he did not touch her if he did not want it/”

Il lui suffit de passer la nuit avec elle à son tour et de rester avec elle jusqu'au matin, et il n'y a pas de péché pour lui s'il ne la touche pas s'il n'a pas l'intention de le faire.

35. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from ibn Muskan in a marfu’ manner who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has taken away lust from the women of banu Hashim and has placed it in their men and so also He has done with their followers. On the other hand Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has taken away lust from the men of banu ‘Umayyah and has placed it in their women and so also He has done to their followers/”

Certes, Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, a retiré la passion des femmes de la famille de Hashim et l'a placée chez leurs hommes, de même qu'Il l'a fait pour leurs partisans. Et certes, Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, a retiré la passion des hommes de la famille de Umayya et l'a placée chez leurs femmes, de même qu'Il l'a fait pour leurs partisans.

36. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from in a marfu’ manner the following: “Once a man came to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I do not have the means to get married and I complain before you against living unmarried/ He (the Messenger of Allah), said, ‘Allow the hairs of your body to grow long and continue fasting/ He did as was told to do and the urge to satisfy his sexual desire vanished.”’

37. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Of the blessing of a woman is her being of light expenses and her giving birth with ease. Of the evil with her is intensified expenses and her giving birth with hardships and difficulties.’”

"Parmi les bénédictions de la femme, il y a la légèreté de sa dot et la facilité de sa grossesse, et parmi ses malédictions, il y a la lourdeur de sa dot et la difficulté de sa grossesse."

38. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘A man must not sit in the seat of a woman who has just left it and it still has the warmth of her body.’ The Holy Prophet was asked about the beautification of a woman for a blind person. He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘It is perfumes and Henna because of the fineness of its whiff.’”

39. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim who has said the following: “About the case of a man who marries a virgin woman, abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘He must stay with her for seven days.’”

concernant l'homme qui épouse une jeune fille, il devrait rester avec elle sept jours.

40. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Aban from Ibrahim ibn abu ‘Abd Allah who has said the following: “About the case of a man who marries a second wife and the amount of time for the new wife, abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘It (the time) is three days; thereafter he divides it between the two.’”

Sur l'homme qui a une femme et en prend une autre en mariage, combien de temps doit-il accorder à la première avant de pouvoir entrer chez la seconde ? Il a dit : Trois jours, puis il doit faire un serment.

41. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Hisham ibn Salim who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that once abu Bakr and ‘Umar went to ‘Umm Salamah and asked her, ‘O ‘Umm Salamah, you lived with another man before the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. How is the Messenger of Allah compared to that man in matters of going to bed with his wife?’ She said, ‘He is no more than the other man.’ They left and the Holy Prophet came. She stood up frightened of the coming of something from the heaven and informed him of what had happened. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, became angry, his face turned overcast and perspiration due to anger emerged between his eyes. He (the Messenger of Allah) came out with his gown dragging behind him until he climbed on the pulpit. Al-Ansar (people of al-Madinah) hastened to pick up arms and commanded to ready their horses. He (the Messenger of Allah) climbed on the pulpit, praised Allah and spoke of His glory, then said, ‘O people, what is the matter with certain people! They spy on me to find my faults and ask about my private matters in my absence and behind my back. By Allah, I am the most honorable among you in matters of ancestry, of more clean birth, a provider of more sincere advice for the sake of Allah in one’s absence. Whoever of you may like to ask me about who his father is I can inform him about it.’ A man then stood up and asked, ‘Who is my father?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, ‘He is so and so shepherd.’ Another man stood up and asked, ‘Who is my father?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ’He is your black slave.’ A third man stood up and asked, ’Who is my father?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘He is the one to whom you are ascribed.’ Al- Ansar then pleaded saying, ’O Messenger of Allah, forgive us, Allah forgives you. Allah has sent you as mercy so forgive us, Allah will forgive you.’ The Holy Prophet when spoken to would seem shy and perspire and would cast down his eyes before people due to shyness when they spoke to him. He (the Messenger of Allah) then climbed down the pulpit. At dawn Jibril descended with a dish of mashed meat and wheat from paradise and said, ‘O Muhammad, this is made for you by al-Hur al-‘In. You can eat it with Ali and his children; it is not proper that people other than you eat it.’ The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, Ali, Fatimah, al-Hassan and al-Husayn ate it (the food that Jibril had brought from paradise) and it gave the Messenger of Allah the ability in matters of going to bed with his wives which was equal to that of forty men, thus he (the Messenger of Allah) could go to bed with all of his wives in one night if he so wanted.’”

qu'il a dit : "Certes, Abu Bakr et Omar sont venus voir Oumm Salama et lui ont dit : Ô Oumm Salama, tu étais auprès d'un homme avant le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui), comment était le Messager d'Allah en privé ? Elle répondit : Il était comme tous les autres hommes. Puis ils sortirent et le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) vint vers elle en avance, désirant qu'une révélation vienne du ciel. Elle lui rapporta la nouvelle. Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) se mit en colère au point que son visage devint rouge et que les veines de sa colère ressortirent entre ses yeux. Il sortit en traînant son manteau jusqu'à monter sur la chaire. Les Ansars se précipitèrent avec leurs armes et il ordonna à leurs chevaux d'être amenés. Il monta sur la chaire, loua Allah et le glorifia, puis dit : Ô gens, que se passe-t-il avec des gens qui suivent mes défauts et interrogent sur mon invisibilité ? Par Allah, je suis le plus noble d'entre vous par la naissance, le plus pur d'entre vous, et le plus sincère envers Allah dans l'invisible. Aucun d'entre vous ne me demande au sujet de son père sans que je lui réponde." Un homme se leva et demanda : "Qui est mon père ?" Il répondit : "Fulan le berger." Un autre se leva et demanda : "Qui est mon père ?" Il répondit : "Votre esclave Aswad." Un troisième se leva et demanda : "Qui est mon père ?" Il répondit : "Celui à qui tu es attribué." Les Ansars dirent : "Ô Messager d'Allah, pardonne-nous, que Dieu te pardonne, car Dieu t'a envoyé comme miséricorde, pardonne-nous, que Dieu te pardonne." Le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) rougissait et transpirait de honte quand on lui parlait. Il descendit et, au milieu de la nuit, Gabriel (sur lui la paix) lui apporta un plat du Paradis contenant un mets et lui dit : "Ô Muhammad, ce plat a été préparé pour toi par les Houris aux yeux grands. Mange-le toi, Ali et votre descendance, car il ne convient à personne d'autre de le manger." Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui), Ali, Fatima, Hassan et Hussein (sur eux la paix) s'assirent et mangèrent. Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) reçut de la force pour quarante hommes dans l'échange de ce repas, et quand il le voulait, il satisfaisait toutes ses femmes en une seule nuit.

42. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from abu al-‘Abbas al-Kufiy from Muhammad ibn Ja’far from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘If one accumulates women without going to bed with them then if certain ones among them commit fornication, the sin will rest on such a man.’”

"Celui qui rassemble parmi les femmes ce qu'il ne peut pas épouser, alors il a commis un adultère avec elles, et le péché est sur lui."

43. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa in a marfu’ manner who has narrated the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, was asked about the case of a man whose father had given him a slave-girl as a gift with whom he lived for a long time, then he recalled that his father had gone to bed with her and thus he stayed away from her. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must not consider it to be true.’”

Rapporté de l'Imam Abu Abdillah (paix soit sur lui) qu'il a dit: "On interrogea au sujet d'un homme à qui son père avait offert une esclave en cadeau, et il eut un enfant avec elle. Elle resta avec lui pendant un certain temps, puis il fut mentionné que son père l'avait possédée avant de la lui offrir. Il lui fut alors conseillé de ne pas la libérer."

44. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Kufiy from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu al-Hassan, al-Awwal, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the following case and I recognized his handwriting. It was about the mother of child of a man who was given to him as a gift by his father and she gave birth to several children; then she said, ‘Your father had gone to bed with me before giving me to you as a gift,’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You must not consider her words as truthful ones; she is only trying to move away because of his bad moral behaviors.’”

J'ai écrit cette question à lui et j'ai reconnu son écriture provenant de la mère d'un enfant d'un homme qui était le père de l'homme et lui avait donné en cadeau, puis elle a donné naissance à des enfants de lui. Ensuite, elle a dit après cela : "Ton père m'a possédée avant de me donner en cadeau à toi." Il a dit : "Ne la crois pas, elle cherche simplement à échapper à la méchanceté de son caractère."

45. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that about the case of a woman who had committed fornication with a man before he went to bed ’Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said, ‘They must be separated from each other and she did not deserve any mahr (dower) because the incident was from her side.’”

`Le Commandeur des croyants (sur lui le salut) a dit : Concernant la femme qui commet l'adultère avant que l'homme n'ait eu de rapports avec elle, il y a séparation entre eux et elle n'a pas de droit à la dot, car l'événement est de son fait.`

46. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Zakariya al-Mu’min’ from ibn Muskan from certain persons of our people who have said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that once a man with his wife came to ‘Umar and said, ‘My wife, this one, is black and I am more black. She has given birth to a white boy.’ ‘Umar asked those who were present with him about their opinion. They said, ‘We say that you must stone her to death because she is black and her husband is blacker and her child is white.’ He (the Imam) said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin came when she was sentenced to be stoned to death. He (the Imam) asked, ‘What is the case of the two of you?’ They informed him (the Imam) of their story.’ He asked the black man, ‘Do you accuse your wife?’ He replied, ‘No, I do not do so.’ He (the Imam) then asked, ‘Did you go to bed with her during her Hayd (menses)?’ He said, ‘One night she did say that she was experiencing Hayd (menses) but I thought she was avoiding cold weather, then I went to bed with her.’ He (the Imam) then asked the woman, ‘Did he go to bed with you when you were experiencing Hayd (menses)?’ She replied, ‘Yes, he did. You can ask him. I tried to avoid and refused.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You both can go. Only blood has overwhelmed the seed and it turned white. Had it (blood) moved, he would become black but on becoming an adolescent he will become black.’”

Un homme amena sa femme devant Umar et dit : "Ma femme est noire et je suis noir, mais elle a donné naissance à un garçon blanc." Umar demanda aux personnes présentes : "Qu'en pensez-vous ?" Ils répondirent : "Nous pensons qu'elle devrait être lapidée car elle est noire, son mari est noir et leur enfant est blanc." Alors l'Imam Ali (paix soit sur lui) arriva et fut informé de la situation. Il demanda au mari : "Ta femme t'a-t-elle trompé ?" Il répondit : "Non." Ali demanda alors à la femme : "T'a-t-il approchée alors que tu étais en période de menstruation ?" Elle répondit : "Oui, il m'a demandé mais j'ai refusé." Ali dit alors : "Allez-vous-en, car cet enfant est le vôtre. Le sang a simplement prévalu sur le sperme, c'est pourquoi il est blanc, même s'il avait bougé, il serait devenu noir."

47. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya al- Halabiy from ‘Amr ibn abu al-Miqdam from his father who has said the following: “Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, that he was asked about, ‘. . . the apparent and unapparent acts of indecency’ (6:151, 7:33) He (the Imam) said, ‘the apparent one is marriage with the wife of one’s father and the unapparent one is fornication.’”

Il a été interrogé sur les grands péchés, ce qui est apparent et ce qui est caché. Il a dit: Ce qui est apparent est le mariage d'une femme avec son beau-père, et ce qui est caché est l'adultère.

48. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Shammun from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd al- Rahman from Misma’ abu Sayyar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘When one of you decides to go to bed with his wife he must not place her in a big rush.’”

Lorsque l'un d'entre vous veut rejoindre sa famille, qu'il ne se hâte pas.

49. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from Ibrahim ibn Maymun from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘. . . He gave everything its creation and then gave it guidance.’ (20:52) He (the Imam) said, ‘There is no creature of Allah but that He knows its shape and that it is a male or a female.’ I then asked, ‘What is the meaning of, ‘then He gave it guidance’?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He guided it to marriage or out of wedlock according to its shape and form.’”

Il n'y a rien parmi la création d'Allah sans qu'il soit reconnu par sa forme, le mâle de la femelle. Il l'a guidée vers le mariage et la licéité en raison de sa forme.

50. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid from his father or others from Sa‘d ibn s; from al-Hassan ibn Jahm who has said the following: “I once saw abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, had used dye. I said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I can see you have used dyes.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, readiness is of the matters that increases chastity of women and women neglect chastity because of their husband’s neglect of readiness.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Will you be happy to see her without readiness?’ I replied, ‘No, it does not make me happy.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘In the same way it will not make her happy to see you without readiness.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘It is of the moral behavior of the prophets to maintain cleanliness, use perfumes, shave the hairs and going to bed with one’s wife very often.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Sulayman ibn Dawud, ‘Alayhima al-Salam, had one thousand women in one palace of whom three hundred were publicly known and seven hundred of them were secretly married. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, had the ability equal to forty men of going to bed with his wives, he (the Messenger of Allah) had nine wives and moved among them every night and day.”’

51. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Khalid ibn Najih who has said the following: “People mentioned misfortune before abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and he (the Imam) said, ‘Misfortune is in three things: They are woman, a stumper and a house. Misfortune in woman is the large amount of her mahr (dower) and barren womb.’”

Il a été rapporté de l'Imam Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) qu'il a dit : "Parlez du mauvais présage en présence de l'Imam Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui). Il a dit : Le mauvais présage se trouve dans trois choses : la femme, l'animal et la maison. Quant au mauvais présage chez la femme, c'est la demande excessive de sa dot et l'infertilité de son utérus."

52. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from abu ‘Abd Allah, al-Barqiy in a marfu’ manner has said the following: “When the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, gave Fatimah, Alayha al-Salam, in marriage and people said, ‘We wish her prosperity and sons, but he (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘No, we wish for her goodness and blessings.’”

Lorsque le Messager d'Allah (que la paix soit sur lui et sa famille) a marié Fatima (que la paix soit sur elle), ils ont dit : "Que ce soit avec richesse et des enfants." Il a répondu : "Non, mais plutôt avec la bénédiction et la prospérité."

53. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Muhammad ibn Qays who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that once a woman of al-Ansar (people of al-Madinah) came to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. She came in the house of Hafsah and she was well dressed and groomed. She came to the Messenger of Allah and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, women do not propose for marriage to men. I am unmarried since a long time and I have no children. Are you interested in me? If you are interested I give myself to you as gift if you accept me.’ The Messenger of Allah prayed for her and admired. He (the Messenger of Allah) then said, ‘O sister (in belief) from al-Ansar (people of al- Madinah), may Allah on behalf of His Messenger grant you good recompense. Your men supported me and your women showed interest in me.’ Hafsah then said, ‘How shameless of you and being audacious, and craving for men.’ The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said to her, ‘Leave her alone, O Hafsah, she is better than you. She has shown interest in the Messenger of Allah and you blame her and consider it a fault.’ He (the Imam) said that he (the Messenger of Allah) said to the woman, ‘You may leave, Allah has granted you kindness and has made paradise obligatory for you because of your showing interest in me and that you love me and want to make me happy. My command will soon come by the will of Allah. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, then revealed this, ‘. . . if a believing woman gifts herself to the prophet and if the prophet wants to marry her then she is for him only and not for the believing men.’ (33:49) He (the Imam) said, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, made gifting of a woman herself to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, lawful and it is not lawful for people other than him (the Messenger of Allah).”’

Une femme des Ansar vint voir le Messager d'Allah (que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui) alors qu'il se trouvait chez Hafsa. La femme était voilée et parfumée. Elle dit : "Ô Messager d'Allah, les femmes ne proposent pas le mariage, et moi, je suis une femme âgée sans mari depuis longtemps, et je n'ai pas d'enfant. As-tu besoin de quelque chose ? Si tu acceptes, je me donne à toi." Le Messager d'Allah (que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui) lui répondit aimablement, pria pour elle, puis dit : "Ô sœur des Ansar, que Dieu vous récompense en bien, car vos hommes m'ont soutenu et vos femmes m'ont plu." Hafsa lui dit : "Tu n'as pas de pudeur, tu es audacieuse et tu te prépares pour les hommes." Le Messager d'Allah (que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui) lui dit : "Laisse-la, ô Hafsa, car elle est meilleure que toi. Elle a désiré le Messager d'Allah, alors tu l'as blâmée et dénigrée." Puis il dit à la femme : "Retourne chez toi, que Dieu te fasse miséricorde, car Dieu t'a promis le Paradis pour ton désir pour moi et ta manifestation d'amour et de joie pour moi. Mon affaire viendra à toi, si Dieu le veut." Alors Allah révéla : "Il n'est pas permis à une croyante de donner sa personne en mariage à un homme sans le consentement des croyants. Dieu a rendu licite la donation de soi-même au Prophète, si le Prophète veut l'épouser, sans paiement, spécialement pour toi et non pour les croyants." Dieu a rendu licite la donation de soi-même au Prophète, et cela n'est pas permis à un autre.

I marry from you and give in marriage to you except Fatimah, ‘Alayha al-Salam, because her marriage came from the heaven.’”

Le Messager de Dieu (que la prière de Dieu soit sur lui et sur sa famille) a dit : "Je suis simplement un être humain comme vous, je me marie parmi vous et vous mariez sauf Fatima (que la paix soit sur elle), car son mariage a été décrété du ciel."

55. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Umar ibn Hanzalah who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘I married a woman and asked about her and things were said about her.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Why did you ask about her also? It is not obligatory on you to ask and investigate.’”

"Pourquoi as-tu enquêté ? Vous n'êtes pas tenus de mener des investigations."

56. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam from his father from Sadir who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, once said to me, ‘O Sadir, I have heard about the beauty and good manners of the women of al-Kufah with their husbands. Can you find for me a woman with beauty in a place?’ I replied, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I know one. She is daughter of so and so ibn Muhammad ibn al-Ash‘ath ibn Qays.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘O Sadir, the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has condemned a people and it remains in their descendents until the Day of Judgment and I dislike that my body touch the body of any of the people of fire.’”

57. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn al-Nu’man from Artat ibn Habib from abu Maryam al-Ansariy who has said the following: “I once heard Ja’far ibn Muhammad, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, saying that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said, ‘O Ali, instruct your women not to perform Salat (prayer) without having dressed well and not to use a necklace which is made of skin.’”

"Ô Ali, ordonne à tes femmes de ne pas retarder la prière, même si elles doivent s'accrocher à leurs cous en marchant."

58. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Safwan ibn Yahya from Khalid ibn ‘Isma’il from a man of our people of the mountains who has said the following: “I once mentioned to abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, Zoroastrians and that they say, ‘A marriage like the marriage of the sons of Adam and that they argue with us about it. He (the Imam) said, ‘They cannot argue against you because of what Hibbahtu Allah found. Adam said, ‘O Lord, find marriage for Hibbahtu Allah.’ Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, sent for him a Hawra’ who gave birth to four boys, and then Allah raised her. When sons of Hibbahtu Allah grew up he said, ‘O Allah find marriage for the sons of Hibbahtu Allah.’ Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, sent him revelation to propose marriage to a man (head of the family) of Jinn who was a Muslim and had four daughters, for the sons of Hibbahtu Allah. He gave them in marriage to them. Whatever is of beauty and forbearance, it is from al-Hawra’ and whatever is of dimwittedness and temperament, is because of al-Jinn.’”

J'ai mentionné aux gens du Prophète (que la paix soit sur lui) les Mages et comment ils disent que le mariage est comme le mariage des enfants d'Adam, et comment ils nous argumentent à ce sujet. Il a dit : "Quant à vous, ils ne vous argumentent pas avec cela depuis qu'Allah a accordé Sa faveur. Adam a dit : 'Ô Seigneur, marie-moi à Ta faveur.' Allah, le Tout-Puissant, a alors descendu Houris pour lui, et elle a donné naissance à quatre garçons pour lui. Allah les a ensuite élevés. Quand la descendance d'Adam a atteint la faveur d'Allah, il a dit : 'Ô Seigneur, marie la descendance d'Adam à Ta faveur.' Allah, le Tout-Puissant, lui a alors révélé de demander la main d'un homme parmi les djinns qui était musulman, pour quatre filles qu'il avait, sur la descendance d'Adam. Il les a donc mariées, et tout ce qui est de beauté et de patience vient des Houris et de la prophétie, et tout ce qui est de laideur et de grossièreté vient des djinns."

59. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from ‘Amr ibn Jami’ who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘The words of a man to a woman, ‘I love you’ never goes away from her heart.’”

Le Messager de Dieu (que la prière de Dieu et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) a dit: "Lorsqu'un homme dit à une femme 'Je t'aime', cela ne disparaît jamais de son cœur."
