Chapter on What is Permissible to Pray in, from Clothing and Place, and What is Not Permissible to Pray in, from That
مَا رَوَاهُ سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ وَ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اِبْنَيْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ اَلْأَمَةُ تُغَطِّي رَأْسَهَا فَقَالَ« لاَ وَ لاَ عَلَى أُمِّ اَلْوَلَدِ أَنْ تُغَطِّيَ رَأْسَهَا إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا وَلَدٌ»
What was narrated by Sa‘d, from Ahmad and Abdullah, the two sons of Muhammad ibn ‘Isa, from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from al-‘Ala’, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
I (narrator) said to Him عليه السلام: "Does the slave woman (amah) cover her head?" Imam عليه السلام said: "No. And it is not obligatory for umm al-walad (a slave woman who has borne a child) to cover her head, if she has not borne a child."
