What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not

وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ اَلثَّانِيَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُصَلِّي اَلْفَرِيضَةَ وَ غَيْرَهَا فِي جُبَّةِ خَزٍّ طَارُونِيٍّ وَ كَسَانِي جُبَّةَ خَزٍّ وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ لَبِسَهَا عَلَى بَدَنِهِ وَ صَلَّى فِيهَا وَ أَمَرَنِي بِالصَّلاَةِ فِيهَا.
Ali ibn Mahziyar narrated: "I saw Abu Ja'far al-Thani (Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Jawad عليه السلام) praying both the obligatory and non-obligatory prayers in a cloak made of fine silk fabric (khazz taruni). He gave me a cloak made of khazz, informed me that he had worn it on his body and prayed in it, and instructed me to pray in it as well."
