[2] Arwah (Souls) were created 2000 years before the bodies: حدثنا ابراهيم بن هاشم عن عمرو بن شمر عن جابر عن ابى جعفر عليه السلام قال بينا امير المؤمنين عليه السلام في مسجد الكوفة إذ جائت امرأة تستعدى على زوجها فقلت لزوجها عليها فغضبت فقالت والله ما الحق فيما قضيت وما تقضى بالسوية ولاتعدل في الرعية ولاقضيتك عند الله بالمرضية فنظر إليها مليا ثم قال لها كذبت يا جرية يا بذية يا سلسلع أي التى لا تحبل من حيث تحبل النساء قالت فولت المراة هاربة تولول وتقول ويلى ويلى لقد هتكت يابن ابى طالب عليه السلام سرا كان مستورا It has been narrated to us by Ibrahim Bin Hashaam, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, who has said: Abu Ja’far -asws says that ‘Amir-ul-Momineen -asws was explaining (something) in the Mosque of Kufa when a woman came up who had antagonised her husband, saying that her husband was angry with her.

He -asws told her that her husband was right in being angry with her. She said, ‘By Allah -azwj , there is no truth in your -asws judgement, you -asws have not judged equitably, nor have you -asws done justice among your -asws citizens, and I will drag you -asws for Judgement before Allah -azwj until I am satisfied’. He -asws looked at her carefully, then said to her: ‘You are lying, O audacious, O evil-tongued, O “Salsala” [3] ’.

The woman shrieked and ran away, and was saying, ‘Woe is unto me, woe is unto me, the son -asws of Abu Talib -as has violated my secret which had remained covered’.

قال فلحقها عمرو بن حرث فقال لها يا امة لقد استقبلت عليا عليه السلام بكلام سررتني ثم انه نزعك بكلمة فوليت عنه هاربة تولولين قال ان عليا عليه السلام والله اخبرني بالحق وبما اكتمه من زوجي منذ ولى عصمتي ومن ابوى Amro Bin Haris ran after her and said to her, ‘O mother, you have confronted Ali -asws with words that have made me happy, then he -asws removed you with words, due to which you invoked woe upon yourself, and ran away shrieking’.

She said, ‘Ali -asws informed me with the truth which I had kept concealed from my husband since he became the guardian of my protection, and from my father’.
