16. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following
“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Marriage with a Jewish or Christian women is preferable’ - or He (the Imam) said that it is better- ‘than marriage with al-Nasibah (people hostile to ‘A’immah).”’
16- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ تَزَوُّجُ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ وَالنَّصْرَانِيَّةِ أَفْضَلُ أَوْ قَالَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ تَزَوُّجِ النَّاصِبِ وَالنَّاصِبِيَّةِ.
