2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمُحْرِمَةِ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تَلْبَسُ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ قَالَ تَلْبَسُ الثِّيَابَ كُلَّهَا إِلاَّ الْمَصْبُوغَةَ بِالزَّعْفَرَانِ وَالْوَرْسِ وَلا تَلْبَسُ الْقُفَّازَيْنِ وَلا حُلِيّاً تَتَزَيَّنُ بِهِ لِزَوْجِهَا وَلا تَكْتَحِلُ إِلاَّ مِنْ عِلَّةٍ وَلا تَمَسُّ طِيباً وَلا تَلْبَسُ حُلِيّاً وَلا فِرِنْداً وَلا بَأْسَ بِالْعَلَمِ فِي الثَّوْبِ.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Mansur ibn al-‘Abbas from ‘Isma‘il ibn Mehran al-Nadr ibn Suwayd who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, about the case of a woman and about what she can wear in the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) said, ‘She can wear all kinds of clothes except what is dyed with saffron and al-Wars (a certain plant used in dying cloths). She must not wear al-Qafazin, ornaments for beautification before her husband, she must not use kohl, unless it is to cure an illness, she must not touch perfumes, must not wear jewelry or Artemisia (a certain aromatic plant); however printed clothes are not harmful.’”
