14ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْفِرَاءِ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يُصَلَّى فِيهِ فَقَالَ أَيُّ الْفِرَاءِ قُلْتُ الْفَنَكَ وَالسِّنْجَابَ وَالسَّمُّورَ قَالَ فَصَلِّ فِي الْفَنَكِ وَالسِّنْجَابِ فَأَمَّا السَّمُّورُ فَلاَ تُصَلِّ فِيهِ قُلْتُ فَالثَّعَالِبُ نُصَلِّي فِيهَا قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ تَلْبَسُ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ قُلْتُ أُصَلِّي فِي الثَّوْبِ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ قَالَ لاَ.
14. Ali ibn Muhammad and Muhammad ibn al-Hassan has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Mahziyar from abu Ali ibn Rashid who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far al-Thaniy عليه السلام, about furs if performing Salah (prayer) with it is permissible. He (the Imam) asked, ‘Which kind of fur is it?’ I replied, ‘Fennec, squirrel and sable. He (the Imam) said, ‘You can perform Salah (prayer) with fennec and squirrel. Do not perform Salah (prayer) with the fur of sable.’ I then asked about foxes. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, you cannot perform Salah (prayer) with it but you can wear it after Salah (prayer). I then asked, ‘Can I perform Salah (prayer) with the layer of clothes next to it?’ He (the Imam) said, ’No, you cannot do so.’”
