Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Husayn ibn Zayd from his father who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘By the One in whose Hand is my soul, if a man overwhelms his wife (engages in sexual intercourse) when there is a child in the house who is awake, sees and hears them speaking and their breathing, the child will not escape, a boy or girl, their involvement in fornication.’ Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), whenever, he intended to overwhelm his wife, would close the door, pull down the curtains and send the servants out.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (20/309))
