“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once said to me, ‘O abu Muhammad, what do you say when you go to bed with your wife?’ I said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, can I say anything?’ He (the Imam) said, ’Yes, say, “O Lord, with Your words I have made her private organs lawful and in Your trust I have taken her (in marriage). If You have destined anything in her womb make it pious and clean and do not make any share in him for Satan.’” I then asked, ’I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, is there a share of Satan in it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, have you not heard the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, in His book, “. . . he shares them in their assets and children.” (17:64) Satan comes, sits as a man sits and comes down as a man does.’ I asked, ‘By what means is it found out?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is found out by means of love for us and hatred toward us.’”
