٣ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَا تَقُولُ فِي الصَّائِمِ يُقَبِّلُ الْجَارِيَةَ وَالْمَرْأَةَ فَقَالَ أَمَّا الشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ مِثْلِي وَمِثْلُكَ فَلا بَأْسَ وَأَمَّا الشَّابُّ الشَّبِقُ فَلا لأَنَّهُ لا يُؤْمَنُ وَالْقُبْلَةُ إِحْدَى الشَّهْوَتَيْنِ قُلْتُ فَمَا تَرَى فِي مِثْلِي تَكُونُ لَهُ الْجَارِيَةُ فَيُلاعِبُهَا فَقَالَ لِي إِنَّكَ لَشَبِقٌ يَا أَبَا حَازِمٍ كَيْفَ طُعْمُكَ قُلْتُ إِنْ شَبِعْتُ أَضَرَّنِي وَإِنْ جُعْتُ أَضْعَفَنِي قَالَ كَذَلِكَ أَنَا فَكَيْفَ أَنْتَ وَالنِّسَاءَ قُلْتُ وَلا شَيْ‏ءَ قَالَ وَلَكِنِّي يَا أَبَا حَازِمٍ مَا أَشَاءُ شَيْئاً أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ مِنِّي إِلاَّ فَعَلْتُ. 
3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Dawud ibn al-Nu’man from Mansur ibn Hazim who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about a man who kisses a slave-girl or the woman. He (the Imam) said, ‘For an old man like you and I, it is not harmful but for a lustful young man it is negative and not safe; kissing is one of the two lustful activities (sexual intercourse and kissing).’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘What do you say about a person like me who plays with his slave-girl?’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘Are you lustful, O abu Hazim, how is your desire for food?’ I replied, ‘If I am full it is harmful and if I am hungry then it makes me weak.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘So am I.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘How are you and women?’ I said, ‘There is nothing.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘O abu Hazim, if I desire something to happen from me I make it happen.’”
