What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not
وَ رَوَى أَبُو اَلْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «إِنِّي أُحِبُّ لَكَ مَا أُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِي وَ أَكْرَهُ لَكَ مَا أَكْرَهُ لِنَفْسِي فَلاَ تَتَخَتَّمْ بِخَاتَمِ ذَهَبٍ فَإِنَّهُ زِينَتُكَ فِي اَلْآخِرَةِ وَ لاَ تَلْبَسِ اَلْقِرْمِزَ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَرْدِيَةِ إِبْلِيسَ، وَ لاَ تَرْكَبْ بِمِيثَرَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ مَرَاكِبِ إِبْلِيسَ وَ لاَ تَلْبَسِ اَلْحَرِيرَ فَيُحْرِقَ اَللَّهُ جِلْدَكَ يَوْمَ تَلْقَاهُ».
Abu al-Jaroud narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام that the Prophet said to Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام: "Indeed, I love for you what I love for myself, and I dislike for you what I dislike for myself. Do not wear a gold ring, for it is your adornment in the Hereafter. Do not wear crimson, for it is among the garments of Iblis, Do not ride on a red saddlecloth, for it is among the mounts of Iblis. And do not wear silk, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى will burn your skin on the Day you meet Him."
