Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible to Pray in - of Clothing and Place
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْبِلاَدِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلثِّيَابِ اَلسَّابِرِيَّةِ يَعْمَلُهَا اَلْمَجُوسُ وَ هُمْ أَخْبَاثٌ وَ هُمْ يَشْرَبُونَ اَلْخَمْرَ وَ نِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى تِلْكَ اَلْحَالِ أَلْبَسُهَا وَ لاَ أَغْسِلُهَا وَ أُصَلِّي فِيهَا قَالَ« نَعَمْ» قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ فَقَطَعْتُ لَهُ قَمِيصاً وَ خِطْتُهُ وَ فَتَلْتُ لَهُ أَزْرَاراً وَ رِدَاءً مِنَ اَلسَّابِرِيِّ ثُمَّ بَعَثْتُ بِهَا إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ حِينَ اِرْتَفَعَ اَلنَّهَارُ فَكَأَنَّهُ عَرَفَ مَا أُرِيدُ فَخَرَجَ فِيهَا إِلَى اَلْجُمُعَةِ
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn from Ibrahim ibn Abi al-Bilad from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar, who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام about Sabiriyyah garments (a type of fabric) made by the Magians, while they are impure and they drink wine, and their women are also in that state, can I wear such clothes without washing them and pray in them? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes." Mu‘awiyah (ibn Ammar) asked: “So I made a shirt for Imam عليه السلام, sewed it, fashioned buttons for it, and a cloak from the Sabiriyyah cloth, then sent it to Imam عليه السلام on a Friday during the day. It was as if Imam عليه السلام knew what I intended, so He عليه السلام came out for Friday prayer wearing it.
