Shiaa, volumes 20-22,
printed by Al-i-Bayt Press.
As much as is required, I
shall quote traditions from
this volume and instruct
my dear readers to
carefully read over those
volumes.
Firstly, to bless the
discussion I shall mention
a few Quranic verses
related to the matter and
then I shall quote the
traditions.
“I will mislead them, and I
will create in them false
desires; I will order them
to slit the ears of cattle,
and to deface the (fair)
nature created by God.
Whoever, forsaking God,
takes Satan for a friend,
has of a surety suffered a
loss that is manifest.” Holy Quran Nisaa 4:119
“And women shall have
rights similar to the rights
against them, according to
what is equitable.” - Holy
Quran: Baqara: 2:228
“And yet they had already
covenanted with God not to
turn their backs and a

covenant with God must
(surely) be answered for.” Holy Quran: Ahzab 33:15
Isaq, the son of Ammac,
said that he had asked
Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s) what
right does a woman have
whose fulfilment by her
husband implies that he is
a good doer.
The Imam (a.s) replied that
he should feed her
properly and provide her
with clothing. And when
she does something out of
ignorance, he should
forgive her. Then the Imam
(a.s) said my father had a
bothersome wife but he
would always forgive her.
The sixth Imam (a.s) quoted
the Prophet (s.a.w) as
saying, Gabriel
recommended on behalf of
wives so much so that I
thought divorcing her is
not permissible unless she
commits adultery. He also
said good mercy be upon
the man who performs all
the affairs for himself and
his wife well, since God the
Almighty has granted to
men the control of women
