Hadith 780
۞
8. Abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following
“A woman of the family of al-Mukhtar took an oath against her sister or a relative. She asked her to join her for food but she refused. She then took an oath and made it upon her-self to walk to the house of Allah, free a slave and never to live under one roof with her or eat with her on one table, and the other one did the same thing. ‘Umar ibn Hanzalah took this question before abu Ja‘far (a.s.), and he (the Imam) said, ‘I can judge this case. She must eat, live under one roof with her, must not walk or set free a slave. She must have fear of Allah, her Lord, and must not transgress in such issues; it is of temptations of Satan.’”
8- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ الْعَلاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ آلِ الْمُخْتَارِ حَلَفَتْ عَلَى أُخْتِهَا أَوْ ذَاتِ قَرَابَةٍ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ
ادْنِي يَا فُلانَةُ فَكُلِي مَعِي فَقَالَتْ لا فَحَلَفَتْ وَجَعَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا الْمَشْيَ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ وَعِتْقَ مَا تَمْلِكُ وَأَلا يُظِلَّهَا وَإِيَّاهَا سَقْفُ بَيْتٍ وَلا تَأْكُلَ مَعَهَا عَلَى خِوَانٍ أَبَداً فَقَالَتِ الأخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَحَمَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ حَنْظَلَةَ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) مَقَالَتَهُمَا فَقَالَ أَنَا قَاضٍ فِي ذَا قُلْ لَهَا فَلْتَأْكُلْ وَلْيُظِلَّهَا وَإِيَّاهَا سَقْفُ بَيْتٍ وَلا تَمْشِيَ وَلا تُعْتِقَ وَلْتَتَّقِ اللهَ رَبَّهَا وَلا تَعُدْ إِلَى ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ هَذَا مِنْ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ.
