Chapter on Purifying Clothes and Other Items From Impurities

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ اَلْعَمْرَكِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ فِرَاشِ اَلْيَهُودِيِّ وَ اَلنَّصْرَانِيِّ يُنَامُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ وَ لاَ يُصَلَّى فِي ثِيَابِهِمَا» وَ قَالَ« لاَ يَأْكُلُ اَلْمُسْلِمُ مَعَ اَلْمَجُوسِيِّ فِي قَصْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَ لاَ يُقْعِدُهُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَ لاَ مَسْجِدِهِ وَ لاَ يُصَافِحُهُ» قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِشْتَرَى ثَوْباً مِنَ اَلسُّوقِ لِلُّبْسِ لاَ يَدْرِي لِمَنْ كَانَ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ اَلصَّلاَةُ فِيهِ قَالَ« إِنِ اِشْتَرَاهُ مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ فَلْيُصَلِّ فِيهِ وَ إِنِ اِشْتَرَاهُ مِنْ نَصْرَانِيٍّ فَلاَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهُ».
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya narrated from Al-Amraki, from Ali ibn Ja'far, from his brother Imam Musa ibn Ja'far عليه السلام. He said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about sleeping on the bed of a Jew or a Christian. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in sleeping on it, but do not pray in their clothes." And Imam عليه السلام said: "A Muslim should not eat with a Magian in the same bowl, nor should he seat him on his bed or in his mosque, nor should he shake hands with him." He (Narrator) said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who buys clothing from the market for wearing, but he does not know who owned it. Is it permissible to pray in it? Imam عليه السلام said: "If he bought it from a Muslim, he may pray in it. But if he bought it from a Christian, he should not pray in it until he washes it."
