7- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي جَعْفَرٍ (a.s) إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ لا يَحِلَّ لِي أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى أَمْرِي فَقَالَ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ الْبُلْهِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْبُلْهُ قَالَ هُنَّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفَاتُ مِنَ اللاتِي لا يَنْصِبْنَ وَلا يَعْرِفْنَ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ.

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj from Zurarah who has said the following: “I once said to abu Ja‘far (a.s), ‘I am afraid that my getting married to one who does not believe as I do is not lawful. He (the Imam) said, ‘Your marriage with a simple-minded woman is not unlawful. 5 I then asked, ‘Who is a simple-minded one? He (the Imam) said, ‘They are those who are weak and who are not hostile (to ‘ATmmah) and do not know what you believe in.”’
