What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not
فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِالْحِيرَةِ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ أَبِي اَلْعَبَّاسِ اَلْخَلِيفَةِ يَدْعُوهُ فَدَعَا بِمِمْطَرٍ أَحَدُ وَجْهَيْهِ أَسْوَدُ وَ اَلْآخَرُ أَبْيَضُ فَلَبِسَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «أَمَا إِنِّي أَلْبَسُهُ وَ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لِبَاسُ أَهْلِ اَلنَّارِ.
It has been reported from Hudhayfa ibn Mansur that He said: "I was with Abu 'Abdillah عليه السلام in Al-Hirah when a messenger from Abu al-Abbas, the Caliph, came to invite him. So he (Imam عليه السلام) called for a cloak, one side of which was black and the other white. He wore it and then said: 'Indeed, I wear it while knowing that it is the clothing of the people of the Fire.'"
