٢٧٢- وأخبرني جماعة، عن أبي غالب أحمد بن محمد الزراري قال:جرى بيني وبين والدة أبي العباس -يعني ابنه -من الخصومة والشر أمر عظيم ما لا يكاد أن يتفق، وتتابع ذلك وكثر إلى أن ضجرت به، وكتبت على يد أبي جعفر أسأل الدعاء فأبطأ عني الجواب مدة، ثم لقيني أبو جعفر فقال:قد ورد جواب مسألتك، فجئته فأخرج إلي مدرجا فلم يزل يدرجه إلى أن أراني فصلا منه فيه:وأما الزوج والزوجة فأصلح الله بينهما، فلم تزل على حال الاستقامة ولم يجر بيننا بعد ذلك شئ مما كان يجري، وقد كنت أتعمد ما يسخطها فلا يجري [فيه] منها شئ، هذا معنى لفظ أبي غالب رضي الله عنه أو قريب منه.
272- A group of scholars narrated to me from Abu Ghalib Ahmad bin Muhammad Zurari that he said: There was great discord between me and my wife, mother of my son, Abul Abbas. This continued to such a limit that I became extremely hateful of her. I wrote a letter to Imam  through Abu Ja’far asking for a Dua. There was delay in reply. After some days Abu Ja’far saw me and said: Reply to your letter has arrived. I went to meet him. He opened a scroll and was sorting when I saw that on one the following was written: “As for the matter between husband and wife; Almighty Allah has rectified their relationship.” After that we had a perfectly amicable life and even when I intentionally tried to provoke my wife, she was not at all angered.” This is the account of Abu Ghalib in exact words or close to it.
