5-84 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad and Abdullah - the sons of Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Abbas ibn Ma’ruf, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Yazid al-Nawfaly, on the authority of Ali ibn Davood al-Yaqoobi, on the authority of Suleiman ibn Hafs al-Basry, on the authority of Aba Abdullah - Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of his grandfather (MGB) that Ali (MGB) said, “There can be no oath of condemnation between five types of women and their spouses: a Jewish woman and her Muslim husband; a Christian woman and her Muslim husband; a slave woman and her freed husband who claims that she has committed adultery; a freed woman who has a slave husband and claims that he has committed adultery; and a husband who has been punished for accusing his wife of having committed adultery as the Honorable the Exalted God says, ’… and reject their evidence ever after…’ ; and a dumb woman since she cannot take the oath of condemnation and it must be done verbally.”
