Chapter on the Wife's Rights Over Her Husband
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 3|Chapter 32
وَ رَوَى عَاصِمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "مَنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ اِمْرَأَةٌ فَلَمْ يَكْسُهَا مَا يُوَارِي عَوْرَتَهَا وَ يُطْعِمْهَا مَا يُقِيمُ صُلْبَهَا كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اَلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا".
Asim ibn Humayd narrated from Abu Basir, who said: I heard Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام say: "Whoever has a wife and does not provide her with clothing to cover her modesty and food to sustain her strength, it is the duty of the Imam to separate them."
