Chapter on What is Permissible to Pray in, from Clothing and Place, and What is Not Permissible to Pray in, from That
وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عُرْيَانٍ وَ حَضَرَتِ اَلصَّلاَةُ فَأَصَابَ ثَوْباً نِصْفُهُ دَمٌ أَوْ كُلُّهُ أَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ أَوْ يُصَلِّي عُرْيَاناً فَقَالَ« إِنْ وَجَدَ مَاءً غَسَلَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ مَاءً صَلَّى فِيهِ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عُرْيَاناً»
Ali ibn Ja‘far narrated from his brother (Imam al Kadhim عليه السلام), peace be upon him, who said:
I asked Him عليه السلام about a man who is naked and the time for prayer arrives, and he finds a garment, but half of it or all of it is stained with blood, should he pray in it, or should he pray naked? Imam عليه السلام said: "If he finds water, he should wash it. If he does not find water, then he should pray in it and not pray while naked."
