1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَمَّا يَصِلُ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ ثِيَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ لَنَا أَنْ نَلْبَسَ شَيْئاً مِنْهَا قَالَ يَصْلُحُ لِلصِّبْيَانِ وَالْمَصَاحِفِ وَالْمِخَدَّةِ تَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ الْبَرَكَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ الله.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Muhammad ibn Ali from ‘Abdillah ibn Jabalah from ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ‘Utbah who said: “I once asked Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام about the pieces of the cloth of al-Ka‘bah that we receive: if we can wear them. He replied, ‘They are good for children, Quran books, or pillow cases, whereby you seek blessings by the will of Allah.’”
