2. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Muhammad ibn Ali from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from Sa‘d al-Jallab who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has not placed pride in women. Such feeling comes from detested ones among them; however, the believing ones of them are free of pride. Allah has placed pride in men; He has made lawful for men up to four and those whom they own (slaves). For women He has made only their husband so if she wants more besides him she is a fornicator before Allah.’ He (the narrator) has said that al-Qasim ibn Yahya has narrated from his grandfather al-Hassan ibn Rashid from abu Bakr al-Hadramiy from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), except that he has said, ‘Baghat’ (sought) instead of ‘Aradat’ (wanted).”
2- عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ الْجَلابِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ الْغَيْرَةَ لِلنِّسَاءِ وَإِنَّمَا تَغَارُ الْمُنْكِرَاتُ مِنْهُنَّ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ فَلا إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ اللهُ الْغَيْرَةَ لِلرِّجَالِ لأنَّهُ أَحَلَّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَرْبَعاً وَمَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ إِلا زَوْجَهَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَتْ مَعَهُ غَيْرَهُ كَانَتْ عِنْدَ اللهِ زَانِيَةً. قَالَ وَرَوَاهُ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِلا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَإِنْ بَغَتْ مَعَهُ غَيْرَهُ.
