[1/214] الكافي: عدة من أصحابنا، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن محمد بن إسماعيل، عن إبراهيم بن أبي البلاد، عن معاوية بن عمار قال: كنا عند أبي عبد الله عليه السلام نحوا من ثلاثين رجلا إذ دخل عليه أبي فرحب به أبو عبد الله عليه السلام وأجلسه إلى جنبه فأقبل عليه طويلا ثم قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: إن لابي معاوية حاجة فلو خففتم، فقمنا جميعا فقال لي أبي: ارجع يا معاوية فرجعت، فقال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: هذا ابنك؟ قال: نعم وهو يزعم أن أهل المدينة يصنعون شيئا لايحل لهم، قال: وماهو؟ قلت: إن المرأة القرشية والهاشمية تركب وتضع يدها على رأس الاسود وذراعيها على عنقه، فقال أبو عبدالله عليه السلام: يا بني أما تقرأ القرآن؟ قلت: بلى، قال: اقرء هذه الآية لَّا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فِي آبَائِهِنَّ وَلَا أَبْنَائِهِنَّ – حتى بلغ – وَلَا مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُنَّ ثم قال: يا بني لا بأس أن يرى المملوك الشعر والساق

1. [1/214] al-Kafi: A number of our companions from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Muhammad b. Ismail from Ibrahim b. Abi al-Ballad from Muawiya b. Ammar who said: we were about thirty men in the presence of Abi Abdillah عليه السلام when my father entered in to see him. Abu Abdillah عليه السلام welcomed him, made him sit by his side and turned to him [to talk] for a long time, then Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: Abi Muawiya has a private request so if you could all leave us, we all stood but my father said to me: return O Muawiya, so I returned. Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: this one is your son? He [my father] said: yes, he claims that the people of Madina do something which is not permitted for them, he [the Imam] said: what is that? I [Muawiya] said: a Qurashi and a Hashimi woman mounts [a camel] by putting her hand on the head of a black slave and while her forearm is on his neck [for support]. Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: O son – do you read the Qur’an? I said: yes, he said: read this verse: “there is no blame upon women [to expose themselves to] their fathers or their sons … or those their right hands possess [slaves]” (33:55), then he said: O son, there is no harm if the slave sees the hair and the shin [of a non-Mahram woman].
