136. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: For the God-fearing prayers is a means of seeking nearness to Allāh; and for the weak the ḥajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) is as good as jihād (fighting in the way of Allāh). For every thing there is a levy; and the levy of the body is fasting. The jihād of a woman is to afford pleasant company to her husband.
١٣٦. وَقَالَ (عليه السلام): الصَّلَاةُ قُرْبَانُ كُلِّ تَقِيٍّ وَالْحَجُّ جِهَادُ كُلِّ ضَعِيفٍ وَلِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ زَكَاةٌ وَ زَكَاةُ الْبَدَنِ الصِّيَامُ وَجِهَادُ الْمَرْأَةِ حُسْنُ التَّبَعُّلِ.
