1299. THE ETIQUETTE OF SOCIAL INTERACTION WITH ONE’S FAMILY

(يا أيُّها الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أنْ تَرِثُوا النِّساءَ كَرْهاً وَلا تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُوا بِبَعْضِ ما آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ إلَّا أنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ وَعاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ فَإنْ كَرِهْتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسَى‏ أنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئاً وَيَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ خَيْراً كَثِيراً) .1

“O you who have faith! It is not lawful for you to inherit women forcibly, and do not press them to take away part of what you have given them, unless they commit a gross indecency. Consort with them in an honourable manner; and should you dislike them, maybe you dislike something while Allah invests it with an abundant good.”2

4250.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام - في وَصِيَّتِهِ لِابنِهِ الحَسَنِ عليه السلام - : لا يَكُن أهلُكَ أشقَى الخَلقِ بِكَ .3

4250.Imam Ali (AS) said in his will to his son al-Hasan (AS), ‘Let your family not become the most miserable of people because of you.’4

4251.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إنَّ المَرءَ يَحتاجُ في مَنزِلِهِ وعِيالِهِ إلى‏ ثَلاثِ خِلالٍ يَتَكَلَّفُها وإن لَم يَكُن في طَبعِهِ ذلكَ : مُعاشَرَةٍ جَميلَةٍ ، وسَعَةٍ بتَقديرٍ ، وغَيرَةٍ بتَحَصُّنٍ .5

4251.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Verily man needs to adopt three characteristics with respect to his household and his family, even if these are not naturally present within him: pleasant social interaction, calculated generosity, and possessiveness through protectiveness.’6
