٤- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام) لا يَرَى بِالْعَزْلِ بَأْساً فَقَرَأَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلى‏ أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قالُوا بَلى‏ فَكُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَخَذَ اللهُ مِنْهُ الْمِيثَاقَ فَهُوَ خَارِجٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ صَمَّاءَ.   
4. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Abd al-Rahman al- Fiaddhdha’ who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, did not consider withdrawing before semen discharge as unlawful and he (the Imam) read this verse, ‘When your Lord took of children of Adam from their backs their offspring and made them to bear witness for their souls about the question, “Am I not your Lord?” They replied, “Yes, You are our Lord.’” (7:171) Therefore, everything from which Allah has taken a covenant comes out even if it is on a blind (solid) rock.’”
