86. Juwayriyah
Juwayriyah (or Juwayrah) was the wife of 'Isa Ibn Musa and nothing else is known about her. Al-Barqi has said that she is one of the people who have related traditions from Imam al-Sadiq ('a).1 'Ali al-Wasiti2 has said, "She was a good woman." He has also related traditions from her.
Shaykh al-Tusi, relying on his own sources, has related from 'Ali al-Wasiti that he said, "Juwayriyah, the wife of 'Isa Ibn Musa, went to Imam al-Sadiq ('a). She said, 'I use perfume for my husband. I put it on my scarf and my head.' The Imam told her, 'That is fine.'"3
Ja'far Ibn Muhammad Ibn Qawlawayh relates from his father who relying on his sources relates from Juwayriyah who relates from a man from Abu'Abdullah ('a) that he said, "When the Judgment Day comes someone will call out, 'Where are those who made the pilgrimage to visit al-Husayn?'
Then some people will arise. It will be said to them, 'What do you want for making the pilgrimage to visit al-Husayn? (What was your intention?)
They will answer, 'Because of the affection of the Prophet (S), the affection of 'Ali and Fatimah ('a), and because of the blessings and grace from what they did.'
It will be said to them, 'These are Muhammad, 'Ali, Fatimah, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn. Join them because you are at their level and beside them. Come under the flag of the Messenger of God (S), for you will be in its shade. This flag will be in the hand of 'Ali ('a) so that he may enter you into heaven.'"4
