What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not

وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - «أَوْحَى اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى نَبِيٍّ مِنْ أَنْبِيَائِهِ «قُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ لاَ يَلْبَسُوا لِبَاسَ أَعْدَائِي وَ لاَ يَطْعَمُوا مَطَاعِمَ أَعْدَائِي وَ لاَ يَسْلُكُوا مَسَالِكَ أَعْدَائِي فَيَكُونُوا أَعْدَائِي كَمَا هُمْ أَعْدَائِي ».
Ismail ibn Muslim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام that He said: "Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed to one of His prophets, saying: 'Tell the believers not to wear the attire of My enemies, not to eat the foods of My enemies, and not to follow the paths of My enemies, lest they become My enemies as they are My enemies.'".
