قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: "كَانَ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ غَيُوراً وَ أَنَا أَغْيَرُ مِنْهُ وَ أَرْغَمَ اَللَّهُ أَنْفَ مَنْ لاَ يَغَارُ مِنَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ".
The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "My father Ibrahim (a.s) was protective, and I am more protective than him. May Allah (swt) humble the one among the believers who is not protective."
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِنَّ اَلْغَيْرَةَ مِنَ اَلْإِيمَانِ".
Imam (a.s) said: "Indeed, protective jealousy (ghayrah) is part of faith."
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِنَّ اَلْجَنَّةَ لَتُوجَدُ رِيحُهَا مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ خَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ وَ لاَ يَجِدُهَا عَاقٌّ وَ لاَ دَيُّوثٌ" قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ وَ مَا اَلدَّيُّوثُ قَالَ "اَلَّذِي تَزْنِي اِمْرَأَتُهُ وَ هُوَ يَعْلَمُ بِهَا".
He (saws) said: "Indeed, the fragrance of Paradise can be perceived from a distance of five hundred years, but one who is disobedient to his parents and a cuckold (dayyuth) will not perceive it." It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), who is the dayyuth?" He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "The one whose wife commits adultery, and he is aware of it."
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ شُرَيْسٍ اَلْوَابِشِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ لِي: "إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اَلْغَيْرَةَ لِلنِّسَاءِ وَ إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ اَلْغَيْرَةَ لِلرِّجَالِ لِأَنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ أَحَلَّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَرْبَعَ حَرَائِرَ وَ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُهُ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ إِلاَّ زَوْجَهَا وَحْدَهُ فَإِنْ بَغَتْ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا غَيْرَهُ كَانَتْ عِنْدَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ زَانِيَةً وَ إِنَّمَا تَغَارُ اَلْمُنْكِرَاتُ مِنْهُنَّ فَأَمَّا اَلْمُؤْمِنَاتُ فَلاَ".
Muhammad ibn al-Fudhayl narrated from Shurayh al-Wabishi, from Jabir, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) who said: Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, has not ordained jealousy (ghayrah) for women, but He (swt) has ordained jealousy for men, because Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, has permitted a man to marry four free women and what his right hand possesses, whereas He (swt) has made lawful for a woman only her husband. So if a woman seeks another besides her husband while being married to him, she is considered by Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, as an adulteress. Jealousy is found among those who act contrary to what is proper, but as for believing women, they do not exhibit such jealousy."
