وَ رَوَى حَفْصُ بْنُ اَلْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ دَفَعَتْ إِلَيَّ اِمْرَأَتِي مَالاً أَعْمَلُ بِهِ مَا شِئْتُ فَأَشْتَرِي مِنْ مَالِهَا اَلْجَارِيَةَ أَطَأُهَا قَالَ "لاَ إِنَّمَا دَفَعَتْ إِلَيْكَ لِتَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَ أَنْتَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُسْخِنَ عَيْنَهَا".
Hafs ibn Al-Bakhtari narrated from Al-Husayn ibn Al-Mundhir who said: I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, "My wife gave me money to use as I wish. Can I buy a bondwoman with her money and have relations with her?" Imam عليه السلام said: "No. She gave it to you to bring comfort to her eyes, and you intend to cause her distress."
