أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ عَلِیٌّ ع مَنْ أَطَاعَ امْرَأَتَهُ کَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَی وَجْهِهِ فِی النَّارِ قِیلَ وَ مَا تِلْکَ الطَّاعَهُ قَالَ تَطْلُبُ إِلَیْهِ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ إِلَی الْحَمَّامَاتِ وَ إِلَی الْأَعْرَاسِ وَ إِلَی النَّائِحَاتِ وَ الثِّیَابِ الرِّقَاقِ فَیُجِیبُهَا.
1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام narrates from his ancestors that Amirul Momineen عليه السلام said, “A person who obeys his wife will be thrown headlong into Hell.” Imam عليه السلام was asked what he meant by obedience of wife. He replied, “Here obedience means that the wife asks her husband to accompany her to bath, weddings, sermons etc. while she hasn’t covered her body properly, and he agrees.”
