Hadith.4543 - Muhammad ibn al-Fudhayl narrated from Shurayh al-Wabishi, from Jabir, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir 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."
