4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from a man of our people from a man who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan , about my saying to my wife, ‘You are like the back of my mother if you went out of the room’ and she went out of the room. He (the Imam) said, ‘There it does not have any valid effect on you.’ I then said, ‘I am strong to expiate.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You do not owe anything because of it.’ I said, ‘I am strong to set free one or two slaves.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You do not owe anything because of it, regardless you are strong or not strong.’”
