النضر بن سويد عن علي بن رئاب عن زرارة عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: إن علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام رأى امرأة في بعض مشاهد مكة فأعجبته فخطبها إلى نفسه وتزوجها فكانت عنده وكان له صديق من الأنصار فاغتم لتزويجه بتلك المرأة فسأل عنها فأخبر انها من آل ذي الجدين من بنى شيبان في بيت على من قومها فاقبل على علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام فقال: جعلني الله فداك ما زال تزويجك هذه المرأة في نفسي وقلت: تزوج علي بن الحسين امرأة مجهولة ويقوله الناس أيضا فلم أزل أسئل عنها حتى عرفتها ووجدتها في بيت قومها شيبانية فقال له علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام: قد كنت أحسبك أحسن رأيا بما أرى ان الله أتى بالاسلام فرفع به الخسيسة وأتم به الناقصة وكرم به من اللوم فلا لوم على المسلم إنما اللوم الجاهلية.
11.Al-Naḍr ibn Suwayd narrated from ʿAlī ibn Riʾāb, from Zurārah, from Abū Jaʿfar (a) who said, “ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn (a) saw a lady in one of the ceremonial precincts of Makkah and was impressed by her. He thus proposed to her and married her, and she stayed with him. He had a friend among the Anṣār who was distressed by his marriage to this woman, so he asked about her and was informed that she was from the family of Dhī al-Jaddayn from the Banī Shaybān in a prestigious household among her clan. So he went to ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn (a) and said, ‘May Allah make me your ransom! Your marriage to this woman was continually occupying my thoughts, and I said to myself: ʿAlī ibn al- Ḥusayn has married an unknown woman, and this is something that people are also saying. So I kept asking about her until I found out who she was and came to know that she is from the clan of Shaybāniyyah.’ So ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn (a) said to him, ‘I used to consider you to be someone with a better judgement than what I now see. Verily Allah sent Islam and through it He raised the lowly one, perfected the deficient one, and ennobled [the people] from rebuke [and false accusation]. Hence, there is no [undue criticism or] blame upon the Muslim; rather, the blame is only [for] ignorance.’”
