16. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Musa ibn Sa‘dan from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan who has narrated the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Taking an oath in anger does not have any valid effect or to cut off relations with relatives, by Jabr (force) or Ikrah (coercion, dislike).’ I (the narrator) then asked saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, what is the difference between forced and coerced?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Force is by Sultan, coercion or dislike is from the wife, mother or father and that does not have any valid effect.’”
16- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لا يَمِينَ فِي غَضَبٍ وَلا فِي قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ وَلا فِي جَبْرٍ وَلا فِي إِكْرَاهٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللهُ فَمَا فَرْقٌ بَيْنَ الإكْرَاهِ وَالْجَبْرِ قَالَ الْجَبْرُ مِنَ السُّلْطَانِ وَيَكُونُ الإكْرَاهُ مِنَ الزَّوْجَةِ وَالأمِّ وَالأبِ وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ.
