6 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن عبد الله بن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثني أبي، عن جده أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن أبيه، عن محمد ابن أبي عمير، عن غير واحد، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن آبائه (عليهم السلام)، قال: شكا رجل من أصحاب أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) نساءه، فقام (عليه السلام) خطيبا، فقال: معاشر الناس، لا تطيعو النساء على حال، ولا تأمنوهن على مال، ولا تذروهن يدبرن أمر العيال، فإنهن إن تركن وما أردن أوردن المهالك، وعدون أمر المالك، فإنا وجدناهن لا ورع لهن عند حاجتهن، ولا صبر لهن عند شهوتهن، البذخ لهن لازم وإن كبرن، والعجب بهن لا حق وإن عجزن، لا يشكرن الكثير إذا منعن القليل، ينسين الخير ويحفظن الشر، يتهافتن بالبهتان، ويتمادين بالطغيان، ويتصدين للشيطان، فداروهن على كل حال، وأحسنوا لهن المقال، لعلهن يحسن الفعال (1).
`Ali b. Ahmad b. `Abdullah b. Ahmad b. Abi `Abdillah al-Barqi (rh) narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to me from his grandfather Ahmad b. Abi `Abdillah from his father from Muhammad b. Abi `Umayr from another person from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad from his father from his forefathers (as). He said: A man from the companions of Amir al-Mu’minin (as) had a doubt regarding his women. So, he (as) delivered a sermon and said: O people! Do not obey women under any condition, do not trust them with wealth, and do not leave them to run the affairs of families, for if they are left to do what they wish, they will want devastation and power, for we have seen that they have no piety with regards to their needs, and they have no patience with regards to their desires. Extravagance is a necessity for them, even if they have grown up. Astonishment follows them, even if they have grown old. They are not thankful for the many when they are prevented from the few. They forget good things, but they remember evil things. They are infatuated with the fleeting, they reach for defiance, and they defy on Satan’s behalf. So, turn away from them in every condition. Speak beautifully to them, and perhaps they will beautify their actions.
