1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ ضَعِيفَاتِ الدِّينِ وَنَاقِصَاتِ الْعُقُولِ أَسْلَبَ لِذِي لُبٍّ مِنْكُنَّ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from Sulayman ibn Ja’far al-Ja’fariy from those whom he has mentioned who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘I never saw anyone more snatching from an intelligent person, than these weak in religion, deficient of reason; you women are.’”

2- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ غَالِبِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَخَرَجَ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عُقْبَةُ شَغَلَتْنَا عَنْكَ هَؤُلاءِ النِّسَاءُ.
